Anambra State APC governorship candidate Andy Uba is so disappointed about his loss that he has refused to pick the calls of President Buhari. A source close to Andy Uba told YeyeNews.com that the APC candidate is angry because he believes the president did nothing to ensure his victory in the polls.
“Andy said the president could have instructed security forces to do everything possible to assist him in rigging the election. That is what Obasanjo would have done if he was president. What is the use of sending over thirty four thousand security operatives to the State if they can’t create the conducive atmosphere for your party to win. We now believe what people say that President Buhari doesn’t use his powers except in the aid of herdsmen. His power is only useful for protecting herdsmen”, the source said.
Another source confirmed to YeyeNews.com reporter that the APC candidate has refused to speak with the president despite continuous pleadings by Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State. The source alleged that the Imo State governor spent the weekend at Awka trying to convince Andy Uba to speak with President Buhari but failed.
“The Imo State governor has left angrily. Governor Uzodinma wondered how Andy Uba hoped to get a favorable judgment in the supreme court without the help of the president. But Andy Uba doesn’t seem to care. He boasted that some powerful forces in the presidency have assured him of his legal victory. He said the president may enjoy the loyalty of the security forces but the judiciary takes instructions from a powerful Minister who has assured him of support”.
Meanwhile sources within the APC in Anambra State said the party chairman single-handedly sacked the Publicity Secretary for advising Andy Uba to concede defeat. “The party officials in the state are very angry with anybody who tries to convince Andy Uba not to challenge the election result in court. They view such person as an enemy that wants to take away their source of food. They want the case to continue so that they can continue milking Andy Uba. He is their reliable ATM. So the party chairman is constantly feeding him with false hope that a powerful minister will influence the supreme court to rule in his favor. All this is just so that they can be collecting money from him. By the time Andy Uba will realize the scam, it may be too late. Maybe he will take them to Okija Shrine as he did with others”.
