Anambra Election 2021: Don’t Weep, I’ll Be The Governor – Andy Uba Tells Supporters
Senator Andy Uba of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has vowed to never forget the results of the just concluded governorship election in Anambra.
Uba stated that he will pursue his alleged stolen mandate through all legal channels.
This was said by the APC candidate during a meeting with party stakeholders in Awka, the capital of Anambra State, on Saturday.
NEWS DIRECT had reported that a former Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, and of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, was declared winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
But the APC candidate, Uba came third according to INEC, behind Valentine Ozigbo of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Mr. Ozigbo had since congratulated Soludo, wishing him a successful spell in office as Anambra Governor. Other leaders of Uba’s party, such as President Muhammadu Buhari, are already looking forward to working together with the Governor-elect.
INEC said that Soludo polled 112, 229 votes, Ozigbo and PDP scored 53,807 while Uba and the APC polled 43,285 votes.
But Uba told his supporters not to lose hope but believe that his mandate would be recovered during the meeting on Saturday.
He alleged there was wide spread manipulation at the poll.
“We will do everything possible to recover the mandate. Don’t lose hope; don’t weep.The election was grossly manipulated and it’s obvious to everybody,” he said.
