#NigeriaDecides2023: The Anambra community hoping to produce Nigeria’s next president | TheCable thecable.ng/inside-anambra… 
The 2023 presidential election holds today and residents of Agulu community, in Anambra state, are gearing up for a poll that may seal their fate for the next decade. Agulu is the ancestral home of Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP).
Petty traders in the community were already awake to begin their daily businesses as early as 6:30 am. Farmers walked the community’s tarred roads interspersed by palm trees and cassava plantations as chirping creatures and hooting owls sang their tunes into first light.
Agulu community, which subsumes a total of 20 villages, has prominent men and women in politics, industries, academia, making it a major district to look out for when results roll in. It’s a 32-minute drive from Awka, the state capital.
“We were suffering before Obi became Anambra governor but things changed during his rule,” said Chukwudị, a motorcyclist who lives in Nwaagụ, a community located five minutes drive from Obi’s house.
For the people of Agulu, all is at stake. And it is with this in mind that these locals prep for the big election day.
