The PDP said its candidate is
Tony Nwoye.
The Peoples Democratic Party has
announced that its candidate for the
November 16 Anambra governorship
election is Tony Nwoye and not Andy
Uba.
Messrs Nwoye and Uba emerged as
candidates at parallel congresses of the
party on Saturday in Awka, the
Anambra State capital.
The PDP national chairman, Bamanga
Tukur, stated the party’s position in
Abuja on Monday while receiving the
report of the party’s electoral panel
chaired by Governor Ibrahim Shema of
Katsina. The panel conducted the
primary won by Mr. Nwoye.
The other primary, won by Mr. Uba, a
serving senator, was conducted by the
parallel chairman of the Anambra
chapter of the PDP, Ejike Oguebeo.
Another person, Ken Emeakayi, is the
factional chairman of Anambra PDP
recognised by the national secretariat.
Mr. Oguebeo is, however, recognised
by the Independent National Electoral
Commission as the Anambra PDP
chairman.
