Supporters of the two parallel governorship candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the November 14 Anambra State election, Senator Andy Uba and Tony Nwoye, on Saturday, clashed at the convention ground.

Mr Nwoye’s supporters initiated the fray when they attempted to yank Mr Uba’s younger brother, Chris, off his seat. The three Uba brothers, Ugochukwu, Andy and Chris were seated next to one another.

Some of the Uba supporters resisted the attempt to drag Chris away from his seat, a development that led to exchange of blows among the supporters.

Minister of Aviation, Mrs. Stella Oduah who was at the scene quietly walked away from the rowdy scene. Looking unruffled, the Uba brothers sat quietly and watched the drama that lasted for about 20 minutes before normalcy was restored.

One of the factional chairmen of the Anambra chapter of the PDP, Ejike Oguebego, sat close to the Uba brothers; while his rival, Ken Emeakayi, sat close to Nwoye.

Andy Uba emerged the PDP candidate through a congress organised by Mr Oguebego, while Mr Nwoye emerged through the Emeakayi faction.

The leadership of the PDP has given recognition to the Emeakayi faction, while the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared Oguebego as the authentic chairman of the Anambra chapter of the party.
