Andy Uba’s participation in the Anambra governorship election has been declared null and void by the court.

The participation of Andy Uba of the All Progressives Congress in the governorship election in Anambra last month was declared null and void by a Federal High Court in Abuja.

 

Justice Inyang Ekwo ruled that Uba’s participation in the election was nullified because he won an illegally conducted primary election by the All Progressives Congress (APC).

 

The plaintiff, George Moghalu, succeeded in proving that the APC did not hold a valid primary election from which Uba claimed to have emerged as the party’s candidate, according to Justice Ekwo’s ruling on Monday, December 20.

 

The judge who ordered INEC to remove Uba’s name from the election’s candidate list also ordered the APC to refund the plaintiff the N22,500.000 he paid for nomination and expression of interest forms because the party failed to hold a valid primary a.
