Court nullifies Anambra APC primary, declares Andy Uba’s emergence illegal

A Federal High Court in Abuja has nullified the All Progressives Congress governorship primary in Anambra State, insisting that Andy Uba’s emergence as the winner was illegal.

Justice Inyang Ekwo, therefore, stated that Uba’s participation in the November 6 governorship election was void. Justice Ekwo added 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.

In a judgment on Monday, Justice Ekwo held that Uba was never a candidate in the election having emerged from an illegally conducted primary election. The court ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to delete Uba from its record as a candidate in the election and ordered the APC to refund to Moghalu, the sum of N22.5m which is the amount he paid for expression of interest and nomination forms since the party failed to conduct a valid primary.

Accountability before cleansing this is the right way to go

I love this, nice moves by who ever made this move. I guess this will put a nail to his stinking political coffin in Anambra and his evil intention to emerge governor thru the back door. The same Anambra he pillaged, fought and destroyed in the past. The evil that men do......

😂😂😂😂😂😂

God really save Anambra people from this man otherwise this man for sell Anambra and collect change join na.

This is the result of direct primary election they want to impose on political parties. OfficialAPCNg haven't conducted a credible direct primary election since its inception as a political party. Uba cannot win his town Union president election under free and fair election....

🤣😂🤣

Anambra state people don't care either legal or illegal, if they conduct the election more than 10 times he will still lose.

So what is d implication of this. APC did not win the elections so what exactly is d reason for this late virdict? jimidisu ClassicFM973

The next step, take the case to the Supreme Court , Tanko will reinstate Uba as the rightful candidate but no matter what Tanko can not overturn the election this time around.

This is like crying over spilled milk. Election that have been done and concluded that APC didn't even make the first runner up. Issokay this is Nigeria where anything can happen. Thank God that its christmas, George Moghalu should collect his 22.5M and do some merriment.

Abi he lost already ?

It's of no use... Anamberians don't even care to know if they are legal.
