A Federal High Court in Abuja has nullified the participation of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and its candidate, Andy Uba in the November 6 governorship election held in Anambra State.
In his ruling, the presiding judge, InyangEkwo, held that Uba was never a candidate in the election having emerged from an illegally conducted primary election by the APC.
Justice Ekwo ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC to delete his name from its record as a candidate in the election.
The Judge directed the APC to refund him the sum of N22.5 million he paid for expression of interest and nomination forms since the party failed to conduct a valid primary.
