Kubwa Surge: Women Defy Apathy Amid Vote-Buy Whispers

By Linda Ike

Vibrant crowds defied FCT election apathy at Kubwa Primary School 2, Kubwa Secondary School 2, and Byazhin LEA, in Bwari Area Council where materials hit polling units by 8:30 a.m., sparking smooth accreditation and steady voting from late morning.

Hotspots like Kubwa’s Units 001, 008, 148, 146, 046, and 006, including Byazhin LEA Biaji’s 015, 021, and 112 buzzed with action women, especially market traders, leading the charge and outpacing men.

But there were mixed Signals as some grumbled over a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate’s withdrawal, mulling vote abstention.

Lingering groups near stations fueled vote-buying suspicions, though the process stayed orderly overall.

This grassroots push signals hope amid inducement shadows.
