APC Crisis Heightens as Court Voids APC Congress in Anambra

The crisis rocking Anambra State All Progressives Congress has degenerated as the State High Court sitting in Awka on Wednesday voided the party congresses that held last month.

About 17 former chairmen of Anambra state APC led by Lawrence Emegini had approached the court seeking a declaration that their tenures as local government chairmen of the party still subsist.

In a suit, the former Caretaker Chairmen and Ward Representatives challenged the validity of the party’s congress in January when their tenure had not ended.

In a judgment delivered on Wednesday, Justice Ike Ogu of the State High Court Four, Awka, ruled that the APC congresses contravened the initial Interlocutory Injunction given by his court.

The court ruled that the tenure of wards, local government areas and states executives elected during 2018 congresses in Anambra state have not expired.

Anambra Gubernatorial Candidates Sign Peace Accord

Candidates in the November 6 Anambra governorship election have signed a peace accord in Awka, capital of the state.

Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Mahmood Yakubu, was present at the ceremony, which was facilitated by the National Peace Committee.

Former Military head, General Abubakar Abdulsalami (retired) and Catholic Bishop of Sokoto, Matthew Kukah, also attended the signing ceremony.

Anambra, like most parts of the South-East region, has been rife with several ‘gunmen’ attacks, casting doubts on the safety of people who want to cast their ballots at the elections.

The proscribed Independent People of Biafra (IPOB) has also threatened the sanctity of the election if its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, is not released from detention.

But the Federal Government, in its quest to show that it was on top of things, has beefed up security in Anambra state, with a strong vow to ensure that the elections hold in a peaceful atmosphere, to guarantee a free and fair process.

Jubilation In Anambra As Supreme Court Affirms Soludo As APGA’s Governorship Candidate

There was jubilation today in Anambra State as the Supreme Court today affirmed Professor Charles Soludo as the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in the Anambra election scheduled to hold on November 6, 2021.

The five-man panel led by Justice Mary Odili also affirmed Mr. Victor Oye as the chairman of APGA.

In a unanimous decision by a five-man panel of justices led by Justice Mary Odili, upheld the judgement of the Kano State Division of the Court of Appeal, which validated the primary election that produced Soludo.

According to the apex court, the appellate court was right when it quashed a Jigawa State High Court judgement that recognised a parallel primary election that was conducted by the Jude Okeke-led faction of APGA.

Inspiration FM recalled that Soludo emerged from the primary election that was organised by the Chief Victor Oye-led faction of the party.
