Speaking to the media after casting his vote in Ahoada East Local Government Area (LGA) and monitoring the electoral process across Ahoada East and West LGAs, Nwuche praised the seamless and transparent conduct of the polls.
Nwuche noted a massive turnout of voters who voted freely without intimidation. He highlighted the timely arrival of electoral materials across most polling units, with accreditation and voting commencing promptly in units in Ahoada town wards 1, 3 & 4, several units in Ikata and Ochigba ward 6, amongst others.
