Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the just concluded Anambra State governorship election, Senator Andy Uba, has questioned the credibility of the poll, arguing that it is inconceivable that he lost at a Ward where the APGA chairman defected to his party.
Uba, while addressing party members on Saturday, insisted that the election was fraught with irregularities, vowing to challenge the result in court.
According to Uba, there is no how he could have genuinely lost in places where the ward chairmen of Soludo’s APGA defected to APC a week to the election.
“I am confident that APC will reclaim the mandate at the court,” he said.
Uba urged APC members not be discouraged by what happened, assuring that the party will win in court.
According to him, once he is fighting, he does not look back, noting that the party will reclaim its ‘mandate’.
He thanked God for keeping every member alive throughout the campaign and election.
He said what happened in the election is a temporary setback, stressing that the party would retrieve its mandate.
Nonetheless, Uba decried some APC chieftains whom he alleged worked against the party on the election day.
“I am not hungry, and nobody here on the high table is hungry and by the grace of God we will recover this mandate,” he said.
Uba’s his running mate in the election, Barr. Emeka Okafor, said he will not accept the outcome of the election.
According to him, there were a lot of odds against the party during the election.
For instance, he that complained that INEC did not come to his polling unit until 3pm and by 4pm election ended.
“I am confident that we will retrieve the mandate in the court. It is not you all over yet,” he said.
