Andy Uba reacts to judgment nullifying his candidature

ONITSHA, Anambra – The candidate of All Progressive Congress (APC) for November 6, Anambra governorship election  Senator Andy Uba has rejected judgment of Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court that nullified his nomination as the candidate of party.

In a statement by the Deputy Director, Senator Andy Uba Governorship Campaign Organization (SAUGCO)  Ikechukwu Emeka Onyia said Andy Uba will appeal the judgment.

One of the APC governorship  aspirants George Moghalu,  had  dragged Andy Uba and the party to court challenging the process  that threw up Uba  as the governorship candidate of APC at the just conducted election .

 The Federal High Court in Abuja had on Monday nullified Senator Andy Uba’s participation in the November 6 Anambra State governorship election. Justice Inyang Ekwo, in a judgment held that Uba was never a candidate in the election having emerged from an illegally conducted primary election by the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The judge held that the plaintiff, George Moghalu, succeeded in proving that the APC did not conduct a valid primary election from which Uba claimed to have emerged as the party’s candidate. Uba said despite every odd he is confident that  he will get justice at the court of appeal .

“While we remain law abiding in the face of the latest development, It is rather not surprising to many that the All Progressive Grand Alliance  APGA members could turn themselves as the spokespersons of the Federal High Court with their tented report about the judgment and abuse of our the party, APC with a view to blur and distort this grave miscarriage of justice because they(APGA) are to be the direct beneficiaries of  judgment.

”The APGA part in this script appears very glaring. Of course, they are aware that they have a bad case in the tribunal and are doing everything possible to take Andy Uba and APC out from the tribunal, but they will fail.

“We are not surprised that APGA members are celebrating the Justice Ekwo judgment like a child that received Christmas cloth from his father. They believe that the judgment will stop Andy Uba from proving his petition at the tribunal. The good thing is that this is not the last court in this instant. We are heading to appeal court to prove them wrong.”

He urged APGA led government of ANAMBRA State to keep herself busy with challenges facing the state than investing on ‘Operation Stop Andy Uba’ dance.
