In the course of monitoring the exercise in Anambra-North senatorial zone , newsmen gathered from the speaker of the Anambra State House of Assembly , who is also the APGA candidate for Ogbaru federal constituency in the election Princess Chinwe Nwaebili that there was something fishy about the whole process .
Princess Nwaebili who was accosted by newsmen at Iyiowa\Odekpe polling unit 05 Ogbaru lamented that the delay in the whole process was caused by INEC stressing that accreditation of voters should have commenced at 8 am according to the apex election management but there were no materials as at the aforesaid time .
The speaker therefore expressed displeasure at the level of preparedness of INEC in the conduct of the 2015 elections even as she described the turn out of voters in the area as very impressive .
On the other hand former commissioner for Local Government and Chieftancy Matters and APGA candidate Anambra-North senatorial zone Hon.Dubem Obaze equally complained about the late commencement of accreditation of voters .
Hon.Obaze stated that as at 8 am there was no sign of accreditation at CPS 406 ward Ochu-Uche Umuodu Ogbaru where he was supposed to be accreditted .
Though he was hopeful that nobody would be disenfranchised as a result of the logistic issues following the commencement of accreditation of voters at 1 pm . He said he was not suspecting any foul play but expressed optimism that he would win the senatorial election in his zone .
At polling unit 001 central school Akili-Ozizor Ogbaru , accreditation ended successfully at 3 :30 pm according to the information made available
