Friday- 16th July, 2021: The names of Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, candidate of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Mr Valentine Ozigbo are conspicuously missing as the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, released the list of candidates for the November 6 governorship poll in Anambra State.
INEC, in a statement by Festus Okoye, its National Commissioner and Chairman Information and Voter Education Committee, cited Court Order for the exclusion of Ozigbo.
Recall that Soludo had emerged the winner of the APGA faction loyal to Governor Willie Obiano.
However, INEC cleared the candidate of the other APGA faction, Chukwuma Micheal Umeoji, for the governorship election, leaving the fate of Soludo hanging.
