While noting that Uba will not achieve anything by embarking on litigation against Soludo, Okoli urged the governorship candidate to drop his plans to contest the result in court.
He said:
“Doing that will instead make people hate him more. Anambra people have spoken in unison, I congratulate the winner and call for restitution, reconciliation, reconstruction and rebuilding of Anambra that everyone will be proud of.”
Meanwhile, Uba accused his political opponents of continually defaming him, adding that they are afraid of his shadows.
The APC candidate wondered why his opponents still find it fashionable to conjure all manner of falsehood in his name, Vanguard added.
He made this known through his director of media and publicity in the campaign organization, Victor Afam Ogene.
