Anambra Election: APGA Ready To Confront APC In Court

Former Chairman of All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Victor Umeh has dismissed the threat coming from the candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the just concluded Anambra governorship Election Chief Andy Uba.

Allnews had earlier reported that Uba had promised to do whatever it will take to restore his 'stolen' mandate, alleging that the election was rigged against him.

But in a swift response Umeh wondered how Uba who came a distant third in the election would be threatening to go to court when the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Valentine Ozigbo who came second had since congratulated the APGA's Soludo for his resounding victory.

Umeh who said that the move is an exercise in futility also warned that what happened in neighbouring Imo where the Supreme Court granted victory to Hope Uzodimma won't happen in Anambra.

“The election took place in all the 21 local government areas in the state and he didn’t win any council area, so what is he going to court for?  

“The outcome of the election was a true reflection of what Anambra people want. Anambra people didn’t give Andy Uba any mandate. They wanted Soludo, and they voted for him massively.  

“We are used to such cases. I have been in politics for more than 20 years now, so APGA is not afraid of going to court with Andy Uba. 

“Please tell him, we are waiting for him in the court. Anambra is not Imo state, where a candidate who came fourth in election suddenly became a governor.”
