Anambra Election: APGA recruits lawyers to face Andy Uba in Court
The All Progressives Grand Alliance has begun recruitment of election ligation lawyers to face Andy Uba, the All Progressives Congress candidate in court over the just concluded Anambra governorship election.
A former National Chairman of APGA Senator Victor Umeh, stated this at a press briefing at Aguluizigbo in the Anaocha Local Government Area of the state, adding, “Anambra State is not Imo”.
Uba had alleged that APGA did not win the election, citing alleged irregularities.
He vowed to upturn in court the declaration of Prof Chukwuma Soludo of APGA as the winner of the election by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
He said, “Investigations show that there are sufficient grounds for me and the party to challenge the declaration of the APGA candidate, Soludo as the winner of the election by INEC and that the ideal thing to do in the face of such discovery, is to approach the tribunal for redress.
“We will be heading to court with the discoveries we have, which shows that the declaration of Soludo as the governor-elect is faulty.
Describing the litigation threat as an empty one, Umeh said APGA lawyers were ready to meet Uba in court.
He urged the people of the state, especially APGA supporters not to lose sleep over such a threat.
Umeh said, “Our lawyers are fully prepared for the challenge, any time Uba is ready.
