Those who claim that the #SitAtHome strikes in the South East are affecting only the economy of the South East are fibbing.
They are either doing so out of sheer ignorance of the interconnected ways the Nigerian economy works, or they are trying to hide the serious impact or toll

which this very strategic action is having on the national economy.
The South East is an economic powerhouse in so many respects.

It has to buy power, not so much because of its internally generated capacity, but because of other factors, including the pouring into the South East, of money from international remittances by the Igbo abroad, who have to support their relations at home.
I think Chukwuma Soludo of APGA seems to be the best candidate of the lot in the Anambra elections. Unfortunately that election may not hold as can be seen from the strict observance of IPOB's #SitAtHome calls in the state. As it is, 3 scenerios may emerge in it's aftermath.
The first scenerio is that INEC may likely go ahead and declare a grossly controversial result from the very few voters that may likely defy the order amidst the voter apathy. This as expected will be highly flawed due to inadequate monitoring of the polls for obvious reasons.
Scenerio two is that Anambra will get the Imo State treatment which is basically, declaration of results without due consideration to the trajectory of candidate/party popularity. In this case, the APC candidate, though highly unpopular, will be declared winner of the polls.
