I trekked about 2km to vote candidate of my choice – 80-yr-old man

An octogenarian in the Giri Area of Gwagwalada Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), says he trekked about two kilometres from Anagada to his polling unit to cast his vote. 

The voter, who identified himself simply as Chief Agasha, told Daily Trust at the Gwarko Ward of the Gwagwalada council in Giri that even though some leaders forgot those who voted them after they assumed office, he would not stop voting.

He said he had voted for the candidate of his choice and commended the process so far for being credible and violence-free.

He said: “I came from Sabon Anagada, that is about two kilometers from here. I am over eighty years old now, from what I have witnessed so far, I love what I am seeing, it is a good process so far.

“We suffered for the candidates and at times when they get into office they forget us, but we will still vote the person that we want.

“We are here to select our leader. As you can see there is no problem anywhere and everything is peaceful.”
