Anambra Election: Uba Will Appeal Court Judgment — Campaign organisation

The campaign organization of Senator Andy Uba has said that the All Progressives Congress chieftain will appeal the Federal High Court judgment that nullified the APC's governorship primaries in Anambra State.

Justice Inyang Ekwo had on Monday nullified the APC primaries which saw the emergence of Uba as the party’s governorship candidate in the November 6 election which means that Uba’s participation in the election was void.

In his reaction, Deputy Director, Media and Publicity, Senator Andy Uba Governorship Campaign Organization (SAUGCO) Ikechukwu Onyia, said plans by the APGA against Andy Uba and APC will fail.

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

“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 judgement like a child that received Christmas clothe from his father. They believe that the judgement 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 said.

The National Chairman of the ruling party in Anambra State, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) Victor Oye, had hailed the court’s decision, saying it was the best to reach in the face of absurdities witnessed during the APC primaryes.

“The worst mistake Andy Uba made was not to have accepted defeat after the November 6, 2021 election adjudged by the whole world as free, fair and credible,” Oye said.
