He had also said he would challenge the outcome at the tribunal.<\/p>\n<p>But ruling on Monday, Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Abuja court ruled that Uba was never a candidate in the election having emerged from an illegally conducted primary election.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Ekwo added that the plaintiff, George Moghalu, succeeded in proving that the APC did not conduct a valid primary election from which Uba claimed to have emerged as the party\u2019s candidate.<\/p>\n<p>The court also ordered INEC to delete Uba from its record as a candidate in the election and ordered the APC to refund to Moghalu, the sum of N22.5m which is the amount he paid for expression of interest and nomination forms since the party failed to conduct a valid primary.<\/p>\n<p>At the direct primary which has now been annulled, Uba scored 230,000 votes but only managed to garner some 43,000 votes at the main election which was won APGA\u2019s Soludo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has ridiculed Andy Uba of the All Progressives Congress as a Federal High Court in Abuja\u00a0nullified the ruling party\u2019s governorship primary in Anambra State, ruling that Uba\u2019s emergence as the winner was illegal.
