In a statement issued on Saturday, June 29. the party’s Publicity Secretary, Dr. Valentine Iyke-Oliobi, clarified that the APC has never participated in any zoning arrangement with any political party in the state.
Iyke-Oliobi stressed that the party gives every member an equal chance to compete for its ticket, irrespective of their zone, as reported by Vanguard.
He said:
The statement also disassociated the party from Mr. Pope Amaefuna, who claimed to be an APC chieftain in Anambra State.
Iyke-Oliobi mentioned that Amaefuna is unknown to the party and might be a ‘fifth columnist’ aiming to create confusion, Guardian reported.
Iyke-Oliobi stated:
He reaffirmed the party’s dedication to democratic principles and equal opportunities for all members.
According to him, the party’s candidate for the 2025 governorship election will be chosen through a popular mandate.
He said:
In another report, Justice Okechukwu Onunkwo of the Anambra State High Court in Otuocha, Anambra East Local Government Area, has sentenced Obinna Oraezue to 90 days in prison for falsely representing himself as a lawyer.
Oraezue was sent to the Onitsha Correctional Centre with hard labor for contempt of court after being apprehended at the Otuocha High Court a few weeks earlier.
TimesNow.com.ng reported that a widely circulated video on social media captured the judge questioning him during proceedings before he was handed over to security personnel.
