The Senator-elect for Anambra Central, Victor Umeh, has told Anambra State governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo and his All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) that they have no moral justification to seek votes for candidates in the March 18 House of Assembly election.
He alleged that Soludo and APGA sabotaged the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, in the February 25 poll.
Umeh was APGA’s National Chairman before defecting to the LP after he was denied Senate ticket by the party leadership.
He thereafter contested ad won the election on the LP platform.
Umeh pointedly asked Soludo to apologise to the people of the State, Obi, Ndigbo and Nigerians in a State broadcast before asking for their votes.
Speaking on a radio programme in Anambra State, the lawmaker said the people have got no reward for voting Soludo as governor, adding that the party does not believe in the treachery for which the new leadership of APGA was known.
He described as unnecessary, Soludo’s plea for votes, which he noted is borne of out fear of impeachment.
Umeh urged the people to ignore such last minute appeal and vote for LP candidates in the March 18 election.
