A Federal High Court in Abuja has nullified Senator Andy
Uba’s and the All Progressive Congress’s participation in the last November 6
governorship election held in Anambra State on November 6 this year.
Justice Inyang Eden Ekwo, in a judgment on Monday, held that
Uba was never a candidate in the election having emerged from an illegally
conducted primary election by the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Justice Ekwo 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.
The judge ordered INEC to delete Uba from its record as a
candidate in the election.
He then ordered the APC to refund to the plaintiff the
N22,500.000 he paid for expression of interest and nomination forms since the
party failed to conduct a valid primary.
Details shortly.
