Following the announcement that the campaign train of the
president of Nigerian, Dr Ebelechukwu Goodluck Jonathan was enroute the
boisterous trade capital of Anambra State, Onitsha, all the shops in the major
markets were closed down in honour of this.
Except for a few roadside grocery shops that were opened
around the markets, the major markets looked deserted and security lines passed
round about them. People were also seen hanging around these markets discussing
the hottest topic in the country – the presidential elections and who deserves
to be voted between the two major contenders – Rtd General Mohammed Buhari and
Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.
Speaking with some of the people loitering about the MGBUKA
OBOSI used car parts market, ostareze.blogspot.com discovered that most of them
were people who had come to transact business as usual but were surprised at
the development. One of them who preferred to remain anonymous said, ‘My mobile
phone was turned off since yester night due to the power outage and I couldn’t communicate
with my contact here in MGBUKA. I had paid him for a Brainbox yesterday and was
told to come today for it. I just started charging my phone and I hope he would
come out and deliver the good to me’.
