Loading ...A statement by the Director General of AUCC, Chief Paul Chukwuma on Tuesday in Awka Anambra state capital, said that Uba had never at any time made such statement promising to establish open grazing in Anambra state, If voted in as a governor.

“We have observed with concern the reports in social media purporting that Distinguished Sen. Andy Uba, governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), has made promises of introducing open grazing into Anambra State if voted into office.
“We are not in doubt as to the origin of fake news. With major opposition like the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) running from pillar to post as its November 6 expiry date approaches. It has resorted to all manner of bias tactics to unsettle APC.
“We wish to use this medium to expose lies in such report from whatever quarters it may have originated.

“Andy Uba’s well laid out Agricultural plan for Anambra, is to drive a development system in such a manner that will bring about total farming integration; where farmers and other Agro-allied resource persons partake in a prosperous economy.

Therefore, let no Anambrarian or members of the wider public pay attention to the fake report on the person about Sen. Andy Uba promising to introduce open grazing in the state, if elected the governor ” it stated.
