Woman Who Rejected APC’s N5,000 During Anambra Election, Bags N1m From Obiano

Mrs. Eunice Ngozi Onuegbusi, an elderly woman who refused to collect money from the All Progressives Congress (APC) during the just-concluded Anambra governorship election, has received the sum of N1 million from Governor Willie Obiano.

During the Anambra Election, Mrs. Onuegbusi was seen in a viral video rejecting N5,000 offered to her by an APC agent while trying to cast her vote at Ukwulu (Amagu village) Ward 1, polling unit 04 in Dunukofia local government area of the state.

The woman, who insisted on voting for the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), was heard saying “we don’t want APC, they’ve been bad to us”.

During a church service held on Thursday, Governor Obiano rewarded the elderly woman with N1 million for displaying uncommon loyalty to his party, APGA, urging the good people of the state to emulate her.

Obiano said, “Madam Eunice knew that though money could buy her temporary relief, Anambra would be a better place if she voted according to her conscience.

“It belongs to our loyal party men and women who resisted temptations of financial inducement from rival parties to fight under the banner of APGA because they knew that victory for APGA is a victory for the ordinary citizens of our dear state.

“And finally, it belongs to Ndi Anambra at home and in the diaspora who stood behind APGA, not because we have met all the expectations of our people but because even in the foundation my team and I have laid so far, they see enough sunlight to believe that Anambra state is like the sun which is bound to rise, against all odds. And that is why we won this election.”

Meanwhile, APC governorship candidate, Andy Uba has rejected the outcome of the Anambra election, vowing to challenge APGA’s winner, Charles Soludo, up to the Supreme Court.
