Many voters have been reportedly disenfranchised, particularly in areas where the All Progressive Congress (APC) candidate, Dr Chris Ngige candidate has dominating influence.

According to election observers, Voter registers were missing in some places and no voting materials are even available to the surprise of even INEC officials.

An observer also said the disenfranchisement is massive, and that it appears to be a strategy by certain interests to influence the election.

However, the All Progressive Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Dr. Chris Ngige, is said to have cast his vote at about 1.45pm, at the Nkwo Ide Public Square 11, Unit 007, Alor, in Idemili South LGA.
