Defection: APC Bars Arthur Eze, Obi, Obiano by FreeGlobe(f): 9:25am On Jan 10, 2016

Confusion Over Anambra Central Senate Seat Persists

Following the mass defection of stalwarts of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), indications have emerged that the national leadership of the ruling party has ruled out the admission of billionaire oil-magnate, Prince Arthur Eze, former Governor Peter Obi and incumbent Willie Obiano, into the party.

The development comes on the heels of fresh confusion over the authentic candidates to contest the rerun election for Anambra Central Senatorial district, which was ordered by the Court of Appeal after the nullification of the election of erstwhile Senator Uche Lillian Ekwunife on December 6, 2015.

Sources close to Ekwunife, who recently defected to APC, confided in The Guardian that the former senator decided to jump ship to avoid the myriad of leadership crisis bedeviling the PDP both at national and state levels.

While declaring for APC, Ekwunife said her election “was mischievously cancelled”, stressing that the Appeal Court turned itself to a Father Christmas by granting a relief not sought for by the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) candidate, Victor Umeh, the petitioner.

She recalled how a Federal High Court Abuja had prior to the Appeal Court judgment, upheld her candidacy in a suit filed by Chief Sylvester Annie Okonkwo, challenging the validity of her nomination and wondered why the court should rule that she was not duly and legitimately nominate as the PDP candidate.

“The outcome of what we witnessed was a conspiracy between some elements in PDP and the state government”, she added; lamenting that “even if I were not the valid candidate, the right thing for the court was to declare whosoever came second in the PDP Primaries as the authentic candidate, thereby replacing me as it is purely a party matter.”

Apart from the confusion as to who, between Ekwunife and Chief Okonkwo, was the authentic PDP candidate for the Anambra Central Senatorial district, APGA is also troubled by two contending candidates between Umeh and Barrister Obi Okafor of the Maxi Okwu faction.

Last week, stakeholders in Anambra Central Senatorial district, after a meeting at Njikoka, endorsed Ekwunife for the Senate seat, even as they declared that the zone cannot toy with the idea of having “a non-ranking senator in the senate at this point in time.”

I just came from my nairaland sabbatical (thanks to seun) to post this here briefly. I want to specifically comment on Peter obi. To all those who keep pretending peter obi is not a power hungry attention seeking corrupt politician, I hope they can justify this his move. Obi will do anything albeit deceptively to be around power. I just wish Ngige accepted him into APC before disgracing him finally. Also let me make it known to obaino that any attempt by him to join APC will consign him to a one term governor. I noticed he is becoming desperate for second tenure. Like how he rescinded his ban on okada. We are watching. We shall never allow APC in igboland. Ekwunife is a non issue.

I dont know why some people will base their argument on mere APC propaganda,the same APC sent several emissary to Obiano to plead with him to join APC,which he bluntly refused.The questn is, what does he stand to gain from a party that will never and can never grant him victory in Anambra state.
Peter Obi on the other hand has proclaimed his lack of interest in continuing with politics,as it is now,he is on the board of about eighteen blue-chip companies!
Please save us Gobbel like propaganda.

FreeGlobe why can't you use your head for once? Can't you see that this is a propaganda? Obiano did not rescind anything he did it just for last xmas holiday but the restriction continues this January.

His 2nd term is already secured through his works. Even Obi cannot touch APC with long stick.

This report is nothing but propaganda.

If some people know that a day like this will come, they would have refrain from taking Peter Obi serious. We know most of them were only powerful as long as GEJ was in power. They are useless as real politicians that can't survive in opposition for 4 years.

How? With support from NW,NE,NC and SW APC will continue to win and win and win. After all the revealations you think people will be stupeed enough to vote pdp again? Look at the Bayelsa elections. Even though pdp won, it is safe to say that people are now getting wiser and APC is gaining more popularity

Authur Eze is a certified AGIP, Peter obi is unreliable and obiano is becoming too desperate for second tenure. I like obiano but if he continues this desperation, soludo should simply hijack pdp and push him out. We can't risk having a Rochas in Anambra. His rescinding the ban on okada is the most foolish thing he has ever done since becoming governor.

Don't forget Peter obi is also a major supporter of this "anything for power" woman. Anything is possible brother

It's a shame that Willie Obiano, Victor Umeh and Annie Okonkwo colluded to fight Uche Ekwunife.

Nwanne he didn't rescind the ban, it was just for the yuletide just like the way he opened Awka flyovers to ease traffic for the yuletide and has been closed again for finishing touches to continue.

I don't think Obi will move. Arthur is a typical AGIP. Ekwunife is a well known bed warmer, so no biggy on her part.
