ANAMBRA GOVT HAILS COURT OF APPEAL ON APGA LEADERSHIP JUDGEMENT


 A Court of Appeal in Kano has affirmed the former Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, as the APGA candidate in the November 6 Governorship election in the state. 

The court also unanimously recognized Chief Victor Oye as APGA national Chairman.

Reacting on the court judgement, Anambra State Government commended the Court for setting aside the controversial judgment of the Jigawa State High Court at Birnin Kudu of June 30 recognizing Jude Okeke as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).

The State commissioner of Information and Public Enlightenment, Mr C. Don Adinuba, described the judgement as hope in the Nigerian judiciary as the temple of justice for all citizens has been rekindled with the sound judgment.

Adinuba noted that Anambra people have all along been expecting a unanimous judgment in favour of APGA, especially since last Wednesday when the APGA and Oye team of lawyers led by Wole Olanipekun, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), and Patrick Ikwueto, another SAN election petition expert, addressed the court.

“They had an excellent case and presented it in such an incisive manner that even laymen knew that they were bound to win decisively”, said the commissioner.

Meanwhile, Governor Willie Obiano also described the Court of Appeal judgment as “victory for the APGA family.

Chief Obiano, who is also APGA National Leader and Chairman of the party’s Board of Trustees, said, “APGA is going into the election as a people’s movement, and this will see us win all 21 local government areas of the state as we did in 2017.
