Court nullifies Anambra APC primary, says Andy Uba’s emergence illegal

The All Progressives Congress governorship primary in Anambra State has been declared null and void by a Federal High Court in Abuja.

Justice Ekwo ruled on Monday that Uba was never a candidate in the election because he won an unlawfully arranged primary election.

The court ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to remove Uba's name from the list of election candidates. 

The plaintiff, George Moghalu, was successful in showing that the APC did not have a lawful primary election from which Uba claimed to have emerged as the party's candidate, according to Justice Ekwo.
