The political woes of former presidential aide, Andy Uba, continues today as the Court of Appeal nullified his election into the Senate and ordered fresh election into the Anambra South senatorial district.

The candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance for the constituency in the April elections, Chuma Nzeribe, had challenged Mr. Uba's election on the grounds that the poll was marked by rigging and irregularities in some areas in the constituency.

The court agreed with the petitioner and ordered INEC to conduct fresh election into the constituency.

The same court also sacked a member of the House of Representatives representing Anocha/Njikoka/Dunukofia federal constitutuency,Uche Ekwunife, from her seat, and ordered fresh election in Aniocha local government area of the state.

Mr. Uba was elected governor of Anambra State in 2007 but was removed in a similar circumstance by the Supreme Court, which ruled that the tenure of Governor Peter Obi was yet to expire.

The former domestic assistant to President Olusegun Obasanjo gave the governorship slot another try last year but was defeated by Mr. Obi.

I put Anambra everyday in my prayers. I just hope and pray that one day leaders like Soludo and other technocrats will lead Anambra people out of bondage. Anambra and Abia is are the life line of the south-east. Why are this two states just messing up despite the massive potential that's evident in both states,

kasiem:

hold your peace, most of the bad roads in anambra state are federal roads dont castigate obi. We never knew that the governor normally dishes out money every december to all the anambra community for infrastructural development, until, my dad and his colleagues assumed the leadership of our community. Come and see the first year wonders of my dad's administration in our community (ezinifite-nnewi south). Go to nnewi and see the massive work going on there. Some guys at the grassroots are the problem of anambra state, not peter obi.

I don't want to believe you've joined the bandwagon of praise singer that include Chino etal. In as much as i would like to believe you, no indices point to the fact that Anambra is making any headway. You can shut me up by posting pictures the way[b] our Enugu people have been doing.[/b]

As "Eze Ndigbo Nairaland", I don't know whether to rejoice or cry. I don't want to offend anyone. However, I still have to say that the judiciary is the last hope for the common man; therefore , let the judgment be implemented to the last letter.   Ubochi ozo, onye obula akwusi izu oshi.
