Anambra 2022: APC Has No Candidate, Court Declares

A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has nullified Senator Andy Uba’s participation in the Governorship Election held in Anambra State on November 6 this year.

Justice Inyang Ekwo in a judgement 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 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.

The judge further ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to delete Uba from its record as a candidate in the election.

The court therefore directed APC to refund N22.5million to Moghalu for his expression of interest and nomination form.
