A member of the House of Representatives and a governorship aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Tony Nwoye, has raised the alarm of a plot by some highly placed people within the state chapter of the party to prevent him from contesting.

The claim follows a court action taken at an Abuja High Court to stop Nwoye from participating in the primary election. The ex parte motion was rejected on Wednesday by the court.

One Mr. Okechukwu Ogbonnaya, who filed the motion had made several prayers including a prayer to restrain the APC “from clearing the 1st defendant (Nwoye) to contest or stand for its primary elections for the purposes of selecting the party’s governorship candidate for the forthcoming Anambra State governorship election pending the determination of the motion on notice.”

The vacation judge, Justice Yusuf Halilu, however, refused to hear the case on Wednesday and by that paving the path for Nwoye’s imminent participation in the primaries.

A source in the Nwoye camp said that they have been able to trace the court case to a fellow aspirant who wants him out of the contest for fear that he the aspirant sees him as the most formidable obstacle.

“We have been told who is doing this and their objective is to stop Nwoye from the primaries so that the race can be clear for their man. We are shocked that someone who has been desperate to stop the courts from interrogating his secondary school certificates would have the boldness to approach the courts on irrelevant issues as this,” Nwoye’s source said.

Dear Comrade Tony, Congratulations once again for making yourself available, but as one of your lieutenants who pushed through thick and thin to make sure you won the then NANS president in 2004, permit me to tell you that you choose the wrong party to ride to government house. APC can win "cubicle " elective positions like the legislature in Anambra state, but they cant smell the sit of power, not now or in future. PDP would have been a preferred choice if not that its bigwigs turned it into a place that can be likened to "a market filled with ranting and errant kids", each one of them jostling to be heard.

I expected a total revamp of the party , instead was met with cross-carpeting and decamping which your good self was guilty of.
You have left me with no other choice than to throw my weight behind the incumbent Obiano, as i would rather starve than let APC get my vote.

Long live Anambra state.
