All may not have been heard about the APC governorship primary election that held in Anambra State ahead of the November 18, 2017 crucial poll. Despite the shocking victory of Hon.Dr.Tony Nwoye, some internal and external forces are bent on discrediting the perceived transparent process that produced Him in order to push him out through the back door.

Tony, who had earlier appeared before an appeal panel set up by the party to address grievances from the primary election still has his mandate appearing very shaky as the candidate who secured the second highest vote after him is hell-bent on clinging the ticket of the party.
Sen.Andy Uba who recently defected from the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP and contested the governorship primary election of the APC alongside over 10 other aspirants according to a source who confided in Vanguard is said to have infiltrated the ranks of the National Working Committee of the party with N150million bribe to annul the victory of Hon.Nwoye.

The source who is a member of the Gov. Kashim Shettima led panel which conducted the primary last month, described the attempt to drop the winner of the Anambra APC primary for the person who lost as the height of injustice, which would also wreck its fortunes in the state during the main election, if allowed to stand. The source said that the group rooting for the annulment of Nwoye’s victory had tried in vain to compromise Gov. Shettima, to do their bidding and impose Uba on the party as its candidate but the governor declined and opted for the conduct of a free and fair election to enable the emergence of the best candidate for the party. “The Chairman of the election panel politely told those who approached him that he could not be bought with any price and would therefore conduct a free election by providing a level-playing field for all the candidates to test their popularity,”

The source further alleged that those behind the onslaught against Hon.Nwoye are influential members of the National Assembly and PDP members who are plotting the return of Sen.Uba to the PDP if he wins the governorship election.
“I can tell you that what is happening is that some powerful politicians in the PDP and the Senate, who are more comfortable with Uba want him to contest against Governor Obiano with the hope that once he wins, he would return to the PDP, from where he crossed over to the APC early this year,” the source explained.

Suanu’s Blog recalls that Hon.Dr.Tony Nwoye scored 2,145 votes beating Senator Andy Uba who got 931 votes to second place in the APC Governorship Primary Election in Anambra State.
