My petition against Uba unfinished – Ukachukwu

BY HENRY UMORU

ABUJA – Director- General of Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu campaign organisation for the April 2011 National Assembly election, Chief Ozoigbo Ukachukwu, yesterday, said contending issues surrounding the Anambra South senatorial election have not been resolved.

Speaking with newsmen in Abuja, Ukachukwu explained that the main issue in the case remained the identity of the duly-nominated candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party for the Anambra South Senatorial District in the April election.

He said that , Senator Andy Uba’s claims that the matter had been addressed were wrong, even as he stressed that there were two pre-election and post-election cases before a Federal High Court, Asaba and the Election Petition Tribunal, Awka, respectively that have not been heard by the courts.

“The matter is very simple and it is on-going. Our party, the PDP nominated Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu as its senatorial candidate for Anambra South. The PDP stated through its counsel at both the election Tribunal and the Federal High Court that Ukachukwu is its candidate for the April National Assembly election.”
