Although the governorship election in Anambra State has not been concluded, supporters and kinsmen/women of the candidates of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, Chukwuma Soludo, have been claiming victory.
They appear to be smelling it based on how well their man has done in the election so far.
He has, for instance won in 17 out of the 19 local Government Areas whose results the Independent National Electoral Commission has declared.
One of such people, Mrs Chioma Ocha, who was among those who thronged Soludo’s home in Isuofia in Aguata Local Government Area on Sunday, is already seeing beyond the moment.
She said, “We are here to show solidarity to our brother and son while we wait for INEC to announce the final result.
“But I’m particularly happy that my town, Isuofia, will be producing the next governor of Anambra. That is a very big achievement.”
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) also reports that political associates, youths and women in their hundreds thronged to Soludo’s resident at Isuofia as they await the announcement of the result.
Some of the residents, who spoke with NAN, said that they believed that Soludo would emerge winner at the end of the process.
Also speaking, Mr Chinedu Ogubuiro said he came to jubilate with Soludo ahead of INEC’s announcement.
“I am one of Soludo’s kinsmen and I want to be on ground to celebrate with him when INEC announce the results of the election,” he said.
Soludo who joined the crowd in singing urged them to be patient as INEC announce the results of the election.
