Anambra gov: Ubah heads for court, lambasts Wike, others(punch)


Olusola Fabiyi, Abuja

The Chairman of Capital Oil, Mr. Ifeanyi Ubah, has said only the court will determine the authentic candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the November 18 governorship election in Anambra State.

Ubah, at a press briefing in Abuja on Tuesday, insisted that Mr. Oseloka Obaze did not emerge through a transparent, free and fair primary.

He alleged that the primary was a fraudulent exercise, adding that he would not allow himself to be rubbished by the outcome of the exercise.
Ubah described the outcome of the PDP primary as a sham.

He added, “I will be approaching the court to determine the legality or otherwise of the PDP primary in the state.

“The election is fraudulent and it is illegal. However, we will allow the court to determine whether the party has the right to trample on its own constitution and the Electoral Act.

“The list of delegates used for the election was different from the list of delegates given to the Independent National Electoral Commission.

“The commission supervised delegates’ election and the party submitted the names of the delegates. But my party manufactured new names and list a day to the primary.”

Ubah said as a loyal member of the PDP and one who stood by the party through thick and thin, his love for the party could not be questioned.

He described the Anambra governorship primary as “a show of shame as it was marred by obvious irregularities, leaving little to be desired and more questions than answers from the relevant authorities and party officials."

The Corriere Della Sera also published a selfie taken by a young fan standing next to Sarri who was holding a packet of cigarettes in his hand. According to the Italian news agency ANSA, this left the club’s leadership “disappointed”.
