No Election In Anambra State: Stop parading yourself as APGA candidate – Court tells Governor Obiano

A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has ordered Governor Willie Obiano to stop parading himself as the candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance for the November 18, 2017 governorship election in the state.


The court gave the order on Monday, according to a online media.

The online newspaper reported: “The presiding judge delivered a ruling to serve Governor Obiano through substituted means on a prayer asking him to stop parading himself as the governorship candidate of APGA in the November 18th Anambra gubernatorial election.”

Obiano, a member of the Victor Oye-led faction of APGA, emerged as the candidate of the party for the election.

The faction had its congress where Obiano emerged monitored by the Independent National Electoral Commission.

However, another faction of the party, led by Martin Agbaso, produced a different candidate.

The result of Saturday’s election is unlikely to change anything politically at the national level but proceedings are being watched closely because of what analysts have said are “unprecedented” measures to stop unrest. Nigeria’s federal police said it is sending 26,000 extra police officers, including counter-terrorism and bomb disposal specialists, sniffer and attack dogs.
