Peter Obi walked for an hour to cast his vote?

It appears that Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, trekked from his house in Onitsha to cast his vote.

It is believed that he spent about an hour before getting to the Agulu area of the Aniocha Local Government Area of Anambra State in Nigeria’s South-East geopolitical zone to vote.

He cast his ballot in polling unit 19 in the Agulu neighborhood. He spent approximately 30 minutes, before he and his wife were able to vote at 11:45am on Saturday morning.

After casting his ballot, Mr Obi told reporters that the process was “seamless”.

Per reports, Mr Obi would use the same means he used in getting to the polling station back home.

Peter Obi served as governor of Anambra from March to November 2006, February to May 2007, and June 2007 to March 2014. 

Per international tabloids, he is the favourite in this election.
