“A lot of people thought Senator Andy Uba was out and down following the adversity and betrayal he faced in the last Anambra Governorship election. But he proved the prophets of doom wrong when he sprang up and took the lead in the campaign for the APC presidency.
“He spared no resources to ensure the mobilisation of men and materials for the Tinubu campaigns."
He added while some APC leaders in the Southeast suffered the indiscretion of hiding under the cover of ethnicity and religion to undermine their party, Senator Andy Uba stood up to the occasion and campaigned for Tinubu in the region.
He stressed that because of the contribution of political stalwarts like Senator Andy Uba, the APC is now the biggest political party in the Southeast with Imo and Ebonyi states under its firm grips and a number of senators.
He said:
“Political heavyweights like Senator Andy Uba ensured and made way for APC to have inroads into the South East, which is unprecedented. Today, APC is the biggest political party in the South East winning Imo and Ebonyi States while PDP has only Enugu, APGA has Anambra and the Labour Party took Abia.
“We have to place it on record that Senator Andy Uba has earned a place in the APC Hall of Fame and we will continue to highlight his contribution in order to spur him to continue his good work for the development and unity of Nigeria."
He said the engagements of Senator Uba with the youth groups, market women, butchers, and commercial tricycle operators, among other interest groups have paid up handsomely with the declaration of Tinubu as the president-elect by INEC.
