Meanwhile, there have been reports of violence and intimidation in some parts of Anambra State, particularly in the build-up to the election. INEC has warned that any form of violence or intimidation could lead to the cancellation of the election.
The Anambra State governorship election is scheduled to hold on November 6, 2021. INEC has assured that it is working to ensure a peaceful and credible election, but it needs the cooperation of all stakeholders to achieve this goal.
In conclusion, the ASUU strike and potential violence may pose a threat to the upcoming Anambra State governorship election. INEC has warned that any disruption could undermine the credibility of the poll, and it is working to ensure a peaceful and credible election.
