The Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), Truth and Reconciliation Group, Anambra Chapter has insisted that Tony Nwoye remained it governorship candidate for the November 16 election in the state.
According to Daily Times NG, the group in a statement on Sunday by its spokesperson, Ikeagwuonwu Klinsmann, explained that information currently circulating that Senator Andy Uba is the new PDP candidate for the election should be jettisoned.
A Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State had in a judgement directed the Independent National Electoral Commission to identify with the Ejike-led group that produced Uba as the authentic governorship candidate of the PDP.
The statement said: “Let us get the facts right again. Last month, Uba approached a Federal High Court in Port-Harcourt, praying the court to declare him as the PDP Candidate of Anambra state and exactly seven days ago, the same court vacated its order which it has earlier given compelling INEC and the PDP to recognize Andy Uba as the candidate of the Party in Anambra state.
“The Court threw Andy Uba’s plea to the gutters and asked him to go and work with Comrade Tony Nwoye who was the authentic candidate that emerged at the congress organised by the National Working Committee of the PDP.
"In its judgment last Thursday, the court asked Ken Emekayi to maintain a status quo while recognizing Ejike Oguebego as the Chairman of the Party in Anambra State. In a deliberate action, Senator Andy Uba and his followers started raising false reports and rumours that they have been declared the candidate of the party in the state. Which court gave them such a ruling?"
