“Ndi Anambra will defend the mandate they gave to Soludo and will not allow Andy Uba to steal their mandate through the court.
“He claimed that Anambra electorate voted for him and at the same time alleged that the election witnessed widespread manipulation. Uba is the only one that holds this strange opinion about the concluded Anambra election.
“Majority of his party members led by Senator Chris Ngige, George Moghalu, and many others are of the opinion that the election was peaceful, free, fair, credible and devoid of manipulation hence the reason they congratulated Soludo.
“Andy Uba should wake up from his slumber so that he will realise that he was duped by those that defected to APC during the electioneering for the November 6 election.
“None of them joined APC to help him win the election rather they joined APC to get their own share of the money he was sharing.”
