APC Anambra Distances Party From Andy Uba’s Continued Litigation

The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Anambra State, has distanced itself from the purported Andy Uba’s continued litigation following the outcome of Court rulings.

In a statement signed by Okelo Madukaife, State Publicity Secretary, the party said,  “Our great party is compelled to distance itself from willful foray into avoidable Contempt of the Court, by official impersonators who are supposed to be learned men but are led by the nose by pretender candidates”. 

“We state for the avoidance of doubt that APC has not issued any statement against the considered judgment of Federal High Court 6,Abuja, presided over by Hon. Justice Inyang Ekwo.”

“While we grant anyone affected by the judgement the right to notify the public of his, her or their intention to appeal, it should be sufficient for such intention to be registered by the individual or his private assign.”

“This statement hereby strips Anambra State Chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC) of any responsibility in the needless statement dated 20th December , 2021 and endorsed in impersonation by one Chukwunonso Chinwuba.”

Our great party regrets that we are at the unfortunate point where our party can be stripped of candidature, by a court of competent jurisdiction, confirming what we have always known for a fact.” 

“However sad this may be to us and however depressing it must be to our mood and image, we are mindful that managing this adversity well, will lead to the a strong and democratic Anambra APC of the future, where results will not precede the conduct of primaries.”

“It is not in our character. We were not born as a party before 2007.”

“Furthermore, we shall continue to live above the line of responsibility and utmost respect for the judiciary.” 

“Every liability arising from the reference misadventurous statement shall personally lie with the signatory of such unauthorized statement.”
