The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) says it has begun
recruiting lawyers to defend the victory of its candidate, Prof. Chukwuma
Soludo from being stolen.
Sofa said the move was to defend its mandate from the
candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Andy Uba, who has
promised to contest the result of the just concluded election in court.
Former National Chairman of APGA, Senator Victor Umeh who
stated this at a press briefing at Aguluizigbo in the Anaocha Local Government
Area of the state, derided the APC candidate, saying that Anambra State was not
Imo.
Umeh who described the litigation threat as an empty one
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 threats.
Umeh said: “Our lawyers are fully prepared for the
challenge, any time Uba is ready. Uba has no mandate to reclaim because the
people of Anambra voted for APGA.
“The election took place in all the 21 local government
areas in the state and he didn’t win any council area, so what is he going to
court to do?”
“The outcome of the election was a true reflection of what
Anambra people want. Anambra people didn’t give Andy Uba any mandate. They
wanted Soludo, and they voted for him massively.
“We are used to such cases. I have been in politics for more
than 20 years, so, APGA is not afraid of going to court with Andy Uba. Nothing
will make Anambra people to vote for a party that has nothing to offer,” Umeh.
“The Nigeria Judiciary is not an undertaker. Please tell
him, we are waiting for him in court. Anambra is not Imo State, where a fourth
candidate in election suddenly became a governor,” Umeh stated.
