Peter Obi's wife thrills women as she teaches them how to vote using different local languages

Margaret Obi, the wife of the Labour Party's 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, on Friday, February 10, took to teaching women how to cast their votes on the ballot papers.

Speaking to the women during a town hall meeting, Margaret spoke in different local languages thrilling her audience.

Formerly a native of Akwa Ibom state, Margaret first spoke to the women in the Igbo language before switching to explaining how to vote in Ibibio.

Minutes after mounting the podium after she was introduced by a Nollywood actor and politician, Hilda Dokubo, the former First Lady of Anambra state hailed the women in the famous "Igbo Kwenu" greeting.

She went ahead to explain how to use the ballot papers effectively without rendering their votes invalid.

Her words: "The time is here, on February 25, when you go to cast your vote, ensure you go alongside with your siblings, your husband or wife and people from your community who have their voters' cards.

"Head to the polling station in the morning and when you get there, they will give you the ballot paper which is like this (showing a sample to the women). When you get one, look for when LP (Labour Party) is written and beside it is our logo - father, mother and child.

Because there would not be photos of the candidates, what you'll be looking out for is the logo of the Labour Party."

Further demonstrating to the women, she advised them not to use their thumb if they think it's big but their index finger on the ink and press to the ballot paper while avoiding the lines.

Margaret also warned the women to be weary of hoodlums who might want to cause trouble at the polls and ensure they raise alarm should they notice any form of anomaly by anyone or a group of persons.
