Chris Uba, the man allegedly behind the 2003 crisis in Anambra State where the then sitting governor (Dr Chris Ngige) was kidnapped, has been named a senator representing Anambra South Senatorial district. This is following a judgement of the Nigerian supreme court on 29th January, 2016 that Chris Uba is the rightful PDP candidate for the 2015 senatorial election in the zone in place of his brother, Andy Uba who eventually won the election.

In a case brought before the supreme court by a factional chairman of the state PDP, Ejike Oguebego, the apex court declared Oguebego the authentic chairman of PDP in the state. The court also ruled that the candidates' list submitted to INEC prior to the election by Oguebego is the authentic list as against the list submitted by the Emeakayi led faction which was eventually accepted by INEC for the elections.

Going by the ruling, all current Federal Legislators, both senators and house of rep members, representing Anambra state in the National Assembly has been sacked. Those affected by the ruling include; Senator Andy Uba (to be replaced by his brother, Chris Uba for Anambra South), Senator Stella Oduah (to be replaced by Jhon Emeka for Anambra North), Hon Obinna Chidoka (to be replaced by Charles Odedo for Idemili North-South), Hon Eucharia Azodo (to be replaced by Tony Offiah for Aguata), Hon Emeka Azubogu (to be replaced by Julius Ofoma for Nnewi North-South/Ekwusigo), Hon Anayo Nnebe (to be replaced by Emma Nweke for Awka North-South), Hon Chukwuka Onyema (to be replaced by Benny Obaze for Ogbaru), among others.

The ruling has thrown Anambra into a state of confusion as the new candidates, [url]360reporters.com[/url] learnt, are very unpopular for some reasons. Chris Uba, for instance, was recently fingered in Ekitigate scandal where he was said to have assisted the rigging of the 2015 Ekiti governorship election in favour of the incumbent Ayodele Fayose. It is also on record that Chris Uba is now the third person from the same family to represent Anambra South as a senator after his elder brother Andy Uba (2011 - 2015), and the eldest Senator Ugochukwu Uba (2003 - 2007).

Recall also that on 7th December 2015, an appellate court in Enugu nullified the election of Uche Ekwunife as the Senator representing Anambra Central and ordered a fresh election within 90 days. The fresh election will now be held between Chief Victor Umeh of Apga, the new PDP candidate, Sen. Annie Okonkwo, and the new APC candidate, Sharon Ikeazor replacing Sen. Chris Ngige who is now a serving minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. the Federal Republic of Nigeria.lic of Nigeria.

Lets watch as the judicial drama continue to play out

Ekiti election was not rigged

My thinking, supposed Ekwunife election was cancelled on the premises that she was not properly nominated by pdp. which the supreme Court has confirmed. Pdp actually won the election methink Annie automatically become the senator who was properly nominated. The supreme Court judgment is final.and the purported schedule rerun will become academic exercise.

All well meaning Anambrians in particular, but Ibo in general should rise up and oppose this.

I say this because the elites appear to deliberately allow for Ibos what they hate for themselves. The result is year over year every election in Iboland produces individuals who are apathy to the characteristics of leadership, competence and peerage needed for Ibo to compete in the contemporary political stage.

After their soiled image would Yorubas ever vote and give victory to Obanikoro or Kashamu or Fani Kayode? Never!

Would Hausas ever vote and put in office Dasuki after this scandal or Al Mustapha after his controversy? Never!

So why is it when men of character win elections in Iboland, the cabals in the center get upset and find all means to replace them with shady mothrfckrs?

Ibo people open eyes and reflect on this yourself. You dont need a Yoloba man to raise this flag for you.

Sensational reportage.. Concluding that the Ekiti election was rigged even when the judiciary/tribunal never make such pronouncement shows gross lack of objectivity..

The cheering news is that all our security agencies are back to life. There is no lawmaker with immunity. Those lawmakers are leeches. It is criminal for criminals to be making laws for us, yet, buffoons would not wail about this, they only wail on buhari.
The truth has spoken!
