According to her, the security situation in Anambra is already tensed and politicians should not exacerbate it further through action or utterances that could ignite mayhem.

“We, therefore, enjoin the contestants to be prepared to congratulate whoever emerges winner, while the winner reciprocates the gesture by being magnanimous in victory.

“As people who have vested interests in the peace, political progress and social development of Anambra State, we want contestants to trust the process that produced the winner,” she said.

Ezeilo noted that in any election, there must be winners and those that failed would wait for next time to try again.

She, however, congratulated Anambra people for brazing the initial security challenges that precluded the election for coming out to exercise their franchise.

“This goes to show that Anambra remains one of the trailblazing states in the country.

“We are particularly gladdened by the maturity exhibited by citizens of the state, both young and old, for rejecting vote buying and opting for good governance.
