The candidate of All Progressive Congress APC at the just concluded Anambra state governorship election senator Andy Uba has urged Senator Joy Emordi to tell Nigerians who discussed with her that the party had conclude plans to write election results.
Andy Uba who spoke through the Director, Media and Publicity, Senator Andy Uba Governorship Campaign Organisation, SAUGCO Hon. Victor Afam Ogene said it was ludicrous for Emordi to make such a claim.
”The attention of the Senator Andy Uba Governorship Campaign Organisation, SAUGCO has been drawn to a video, wherein Senator Joy Emordi alleged, without any iota of evidence, that she was told that the All Progressives Congress, APC would write the results of the recently held gubernatorial election in Anambra state”.
Ludicrous as the claim sounds, the ‘revelation’ may just as well open a leeway into unearthing the diverse roles which several impostors played in the run up to the elections.
“We, therefore, challenge Senator Emordi to, as a matter of patriotic obligation, disclose the person or persons – complete with video or documentary evidence – who assured her that the results of a yet-to-be-conducted election would be written.
“We further urge the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, the National Headquarters of the APC, and the nation’s security agencies to take more than a cursory interest in the claims of Senator Emordi” Uba said
According him, Uba campaigned in all the 21 LGAs of Anambra State with emphasis on the need for free and fair processes. He said that due to the substantial non-compliance of election procedure he decided to seek judicial redress in the tribunal.
Uba said for Senator Emordi, it would take quite sometime for Nollywood divas to come to terms with how she has been able to snatch the tag, ‘Drama Queen of the Year.’
“In deed, ndi Anambra and Nigerians in general would recall that this year alone, our Distinguished Senator has starred in about three videos, supporting three different candidates across two political parties.
“In March, 2021 in the lead up to the People’s Democratic Party, PDP primaries, Senator Emordi was seen in a viral video endorsing the aspiration of Senator Uche Ekwunife, with a promise to stick with her.
“Barely one month afterwards the same woman made another video, proclaiming a fidelity to Val Ozigbo’s candidature in the same party, PDP. Two months later, in June, 2021 she was back to the beat, singing the praise of Senator Andy Uba of the APC on national television.
“Although she claimed to have formally joined the ÀPC, Senator Emordi was not seen anywhere near Anambra while the electioneering lasted; not even the Onitsha North and Onitsha South legs of the Party’s local government campaigns.”
“Perhaps desirous of yet another acting role, Senator Emordi elected to join the receding tribe of followers of Senator Chris Ngige, in his desperate bid to remain Leader of the Anambra State Chapter of the APC” he added .
According to him, it is the right of Emordi to choose any role for herself, ignoble or self-serving.
“We hearken to remind her of the age-old maxim which demands that, anyone who alleges must prove” he said. Senator Emordi was spotted in a video claiming that ,some chieftains of APC told her that Anambra election would be written.
