Former
People's Democratic Party chieftain, Andy Uba has been accused of
lobbying the highest decision-making body within the APC to cancel the
Anambra primaries.

Two members of the Anambra State chapter of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) have accused Senator Andy Uba of working through Senator
Lawali Shuaibu, the Deputy National Chairman of the APC (North), to
annul the party’s primaries that produced Tony Nwoye as the party’s flag
bearer in the November 18, 2017 governorship election in Anambra
State.
Mr. Nwoye, an ex-student union leader, who is currently a member of
the House of Representatives, had defeated Senator in the primaries
which took place in late August. Mr. Nwoye scored 2154 votes against Mr.
Uba, who placed a distant second with 931 votes.
While most of the other APC aspirants have embraced Mr. Nwoye and
pledged to work with him, Mr. Uba and his supporters have continued to
warn the party against ratifying the former student leader’s primary
victory, claiming that a Nwoye-led ticket would be easily routed in the
governorship election.
An insider within the Tony Nwoye campaign told SaharaReporters
today that Senator Uba was using Mr. Shuaibu to compromise influential
members of the APC’s National Working Committee to cancel the
primaries.
“The only kind of political game that Andy Uba knows is rigging
every election and using his money to buy any office he desires,” said the insider. He added,
“Senator Uba lost in one of the freest and fairest primary elections in
the history of the APC, but he is still looking for a way to steal
victory," he said.
A member of the APC in Anambra State, who said he backed a Port
Harcourt-based businessman, Bart Nwibe, told SaharaReporters that the
news had filtered to members that Mr. Uba had compromised Hassan Lawal, a
former Minister of Works and Housing who chairs the party’s appeal
panel, in order to overturn the primaries.
“Dr. Lawal was present throughout the primary election and he
witnessed the absolute fairness of the contest. If he comes back now to
order another primary, then he will be destroying the spirit of the
party members who are energized to go into the election and unseat the
incumbent governor,” said the source.
“I can assure you that the APC will be finished in Anambra if
the NWC [National Working Committee] allows the appeal panel to rubbish
our primary last month that everybody knew that it was conducted freely
and fairly,” he added.
In February of 2017, Senator Uba had defected from the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC in order to contest the governorship
election in Anambra on the platform of the ruling party. Mr. Uba came to
political prominence when he served as an influential domestic aide to
former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
During the eight years he worked with President Obasanjo, Mr. Uba
accumulated stupendous and questionable wealth. In 2006, he paid a fine
of $26,000 to settle a case in the US where authorities accused him of
smuggling $170,000 into the US aboard a Nigerian presidential that
brought then President Obasanjo to New York City to attend a UN General
Assembly.
In 2007, Nigeria’s Supreme Court removed Mr. Uba from the
governorship of Anambra State, ruling that then Governor Peter Obi had
not served out his tenure.
A source to Senator Uba’s younger and estranged brother, Chris Uba,
said the former presidential aide was desperate to become the governor
because he had lost a significant part of his “wealth” to several fronts
to whom he entrusted the funds he accumulated during the Obasanjo
Presidency.
The brothers use to be close but have long been on a war path owing to political differences.
