Acting National Chairman of the party, Chief Jude Okeke and the governorship candidate of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) in the forthcoming gubernatorial election in Anambra State, Hon. Chukwuma Umeoji on Tuesday rejected the judgment of the Court of Appeal sitting in Kano which set aside the judgment of the Jigawa High Court.
The Jigawa High Court had earlier declared the duo as chairman of the party and the only candidate that emerged from the party’s gubernatorial election primary in the state.
This was contained in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja on Tuesday by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Comrade Ikechukwu Chukwunyere.
The statement disclosed that Okeke and Umeoji have already briefed their counsels to take all necessary steps to appeal the judgment at the Supreme Court, saying that the judgment was just a mere temporary setback which would be set aside by the nation’s Apex Court accordingly.
According to the statement, “the Hon Chukwuma Umeoji campaign will therefore continue unhindered pending the judgment of the Supreme Court where victory is assured.
“All supporters and party members are therefore urged to remain peaceful and law-abiding, our confidence level of being victorious at the Apex Court is very sure, there is nothing that can stop an idea whose time has come.”
