“At the end of the primary window for submission of candidates and their deputies to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) yesterday , reports are flying in the news media about APC being sued to court.

State needs to soar and will not have the limited ambition to win the November 6 election, but that through us Anambra will recover the lost years and transform to an industrial giant with a firm place in the comity of wealthy Nigerian states,” Madukaife said.
