The Anambra State Government is encouraging all eligible voters to participate in the upcoming gubernatorial election, scheduled for November 8, 2025. According to a press release from the state’s Commissioner for Information, Dr. Law Mefor, citizens should exercise their right to vote as a means of demonstrating their interest in governance.
The commissioner emphasized the importance of active participation in the election, particularly in light of the low voter turnout recorded during the 2021 governorship election. At that time, only approximately 200,000 of the over 2.7 million registered voters cast their ballots. Mefor stated that full voter participation is a fundamental expression of civic responsibility and a vital demonstration of commitment to democratic governance.
As one of the leading states in Nigeria, Anambra has consistently set a positive example. The government is urging citizens, known as Ndi Anambra, to once again lead by example by turning out in large numbers to vote peacefully and responsibly. The commissioner’s statement highlights the significance of the election and the role that citizens play in shaping the state’s future.
The gubernatorial election is an opportunity for the people of Anambra State to exercise their democratic rights and contribute to the state’s development. With a large number of registered voters, the state has the potential to record a high turnout, surpassing the numbers seen in previous elections. The government’s call to action is a reminder of the importance of civic engagement and the need for citizens to participate in the democratic process.
The election is scheduled to take place on November 8, 2025, and the government is expected to take measures to ensure a smooth and peaceful voting process. As the state prepares for the election, citizens are encouraged to come out and make their voices heard. By doing so, they will be contributing to the state’s democratic growth and development, and setting an example for other states to follow. The outcome of the election will be closely watched, and it is expected to have a significant impact on the state’s future.
