Ozigbo, who his wife, Ojiugo Ozigbo, accompanied, raised concerns over the voting process, especially the unavailability of voting materials in several local government areas and the time it took him to vote.
“I’m grateful for the peaceful environment but I have mixed feelings for now. On one hand, I’m thankful that I’ve been able to vote, however, I’m a bit worried by how long it took us to vote, Ozigbo said.
“I commend INEC for introducing the machine which will help us reduce election fraud and rigging, but if this is how long it takes for one person to vote, we might need to request for an extension in the voting time to ensure that every eligible voter votes.
“So, I urge the people of Anambra State to come out without fear to cast their votes without fear and I ask for INEC to give more time for people to vote,” the respected business leader added.
