\n
Senator Andy Uba has berated the Minister of Labour and employment, Senator Chris Ngige for calling for the cancelation of the All Progressives Congress, APC, primary election in Anambra State.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
In the primary election held on Saturday, Uba was declared the winner by the Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun-led election committee.Uba was declared winner of the election on Sunday morning, with 11 other aspirants protesting his victory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Director-General of the Andy Uba campaign organization, Chief Sir Paul Chukwuma, who spoke on his behalf, praised the doggedness of APC members who remained patient all through the process.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cThe call for postponement of the primary to a later date by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige (OON) is wrong.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe fault the call and wonder why the Leader of the party in Anambra State will call for a postponement of an election that has ended successfully just because the outcome was not going in favour of his preferred candidate.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Chukwuma, the stand by Dr. Chris Ngige lends credence to the rumours going round that he is in cohort with the ruling APGA to support a weak aspirant to emerge as APC candidate in order to pave way for the APGA governorship candidate to have a smooth run.<\/p>\n

Chukwuma, also berated those aspirants that alleged irregularities in the primary election for raising false alarms.<\/p>\n

He noted that all the aspirants were given everything they needed by the Primary Election Committee but some were angry that they couldn\u2019t hijack the whole process hence the resort to blackmail and cheap propaganda.<\/p>\n

On the purported outburst of the Publicity Secretary of APC in Anambra State, Arc. Okelo Madukaife against the conduct of the primary, the campaign organization cautioned party officials against taking positions that are inimical to the party\u2019s unity.<\/p>\n

It noted that the likes of Mr. Okelo were angry because they could not hijack the work of the primary committee hence his disenchantment with the outcome of the election.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
