There is a new twist in the
controversial Anambra State
governorship election whose outcome
remains inconclusive and a
supplementary poll is planned for
November 30. One of the aspirants for
the ticket of the All Progressives
Grand Alliance (APGA) Hon. Uche
Ekwunife is asking that the court
declare her the authentic candidate of
the party.
Ekwunife is the runner- up to Mr.
Willie Obiano at the APGA
governorship primary, having scored
the second highest votes.
In a suit filed at the Federal High
Court, Awka, Anambra State capital,
Hon Ekwunife, a member of the
House of Representatives, prayed the
court to declare her as the rightful
candidate for APGA in the November
16, 2013 governorship election. In her
suit which has Mr. Willy Obiano, the
Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) and APGA, as the
first, second and third defendants
respectively, Ekwunife is urging the
court to disqualify Obiano as the
candidate of APGA, by virtue of his
alleged multiple registration in Lagos
and Anambra states.
In the originating summons filed by
her counsel, Chief Ugo Ugwunnadi,
she argued: “By virtue of the multiple
registration, which is a serious
electoral offence and by the combined
effect of Sections 9 (1), (2), (3), 2, 3,
12 (1), (2) and 24 (1)(e) of the 2010
Electoral Act of Nigeria, as amended,
and Section 178 (5) of the 1999
Constitution of the Federal Republic
of Nigeria, as amended, Mr. Obiano is
not a registered voter qualified to
vote and be voted for in Anambra
State and therefore, he cannot contest
an election in a state, where he is not
a legally and validly registered voter.”
In her supporting affidavit to the
originating summons, the federal
lawmaker alleged: “Mr. Obiano was
assigned with three different VIN
numbers, by virtue of the multiple
registration as follows – (1) 90F5
B12B 0129 6204 172, (2) 90F5 B15E
7D37 8200 332, and (3) 90F5 B12B
8837 7091 121 respectively, annexed
as Exhibits UE2, UE3 and UE4. All
these appeared in three different
Voters’ Register.”
Consequent upon this, Ekwunife is
also asking the court for an order
directing APGA to substitute the
name of Obiano with hers and for
INEC to deal with her as the rightful
candidate of APGA and moreso, for
the fact that elections were contested,
lost and won by political parties and
not individuals.

OK

Willy-Willy how far with AdaObi? Registering 3 times, na food? Odikwa risky.

Ekwuniefe is a pretty African lady. I love seeing Black African ladies without bleached skin. Isn't she pretty without bleaching her skin?

payless: Ekwuniefe is a pretty African lady. I love seeing Black African ladies without bleached skin. Isn't she pretty without bleaching her skin?

what are u looking for in another man's wife?

Better go marry and treat ur wife the way Ekwunife's husband is treating her.

Anambra elections, always with a new twist everyday.

Uche dnt tell me dt u r greedy.

Sharp girl. Was waiting for APGA to win the election first before going to court so she can become governor without standing for election ala Amaechi's style.

Willy Willy willy Willy oooo.....Kpa kpa kpa(clapz)....mother in d kitchen cookin ryc......kpa kpa kpa...children in d garden playn ball....#dah game was dope baq den.....
baq tu d newz,ion ave enifn tu sae tih m redi tu run for dah seat......vewi soon asin I mean vewi vewi soon

serious!

Uche nne, I di too much! You're one woman I respect so much even though your enemies have tried to taint you with scandals. If you were the APGA flagbearer,I would have given you my complete support. I bu odogwu nwanyi. Carry go nne, nothing mega!

Dereformer:

When has it become a crime to complement African woman? I only gave her a complement and nothing more..... We hardly see African women these days with their real complexion. Have you seen Stella Oduah and most of Nollywood actresses complexion lately? I hardly see a Nigerian lady in U.S who hasn't bleached her skin.

We watched d man vote after all d controversy thereby erasing d hopes of sm ppl dat he would b disqualified, wat even happened to the other frivolious suit?
I beieve dat dis suit shld b struck out pending d outcome of d oda one and if Iyom wants she can b joined in d oda suit.


But am still waiting for official denouncement by APGA.

l love dreamers!!

Ndidi Igbo kwenu ...iya...kwenu ...iya


Igbos are indeed doing well. Ngige no shaking!!!

Even if Willy enter, e go comot or Lolo Ekwunife go enter or Court of Appeal, Otu Ocha go park the election for one side or call for another election by June 2013. I sabi Anamabra with women politics, no wahala, you go come clear the whole thing. Ask Dora how market?

Onwa!!!!,

This woman is jonzing.. #period..!

What a prudent move...i won't be surprise if Prof Soludo comes back from"oxford"to claim the same mandate,everybody is desperate for power at all cost...if the double registration is really agaisnt the law,let them evict him with a"speed of light"..i don't know when nigeria will shun mediocrities/rifraffs in our political system(they re-brand their lives for getting politcal appointment while our proffesors are rotting in their respective institutes) that's why we're always backward

payless: Ekwuniefe is a pretty African lady. I love seeing Black African ladies without bleached skin. Isn't she pretty without bleaching her skin?

My friend, you have eyes. She is just like Omobola Johnson, ICT Minister.

This Anambra election is getting more interesting.

Sunny_bobo:

Not from a Yoruba man. We know their antecedents. Abiola went around impregnating other people's wives while OBJ bleeped his daughter-inlaw.

You're very funny o! See where you mind dey go.

yuzedo: I KNEW Ekwunife was up to something! This scheming b****?! Hahahaha! I predicted this shït weeks ago!!!! Kai, where are those tweets sef.. Iyom my cougar!! Anambra strong-lady!!

Is that why you call her a b**** ? Its now confirmed you Anambra men don't have respect for your women. Shame on you lots.

If Amaechi can do it then you can. I like this woman, she's strong.

On topic: so she wants to try amechi style, obi will call her to order shapaly!

birds of the same feathers... She is a greedy woman for desiring to reap the fruits of someone's labour and you are here clapping for her. Do you know how much Obiano spent psychologically, physically and financially? Grow up, girl
