Anambra PDP members jubilate over Supreme Court judgment

Uba

The mood in Anambra state is that of joy and sadness Friday, following the Supreme Court judgment that removed senators Andy Uba, and Stella Oduah from the National Assembly.

But the Chief Chris Uba camp who benefited from the judgment is bubbling with the members of the party pumping champagnes in the state in celebration.

Members of the party in the state Friday, described the judgment as the handiwork of God, having suffered in PDP in the hands of those they described as cabals, being engineered by a member of the national body.

Some of the roads including adjourning streets were blocked by the PDP faithful loyal to Chief Chris Uba’s camp Friday.

The implication of the judgment, according to a Chieftain of the party, Chief Nnamdi Okoye, was that Ejike Oguebego would take over the leadership of the party as chairman in the state, while Chris Uba and his line up during the primaries would take over their seats at the National Assembly.

Also, the five members in the Anambra state House of Assembly who were not in the lineup of Chris Uba would equally vacate their seats for former Assembly member, Hon. Rebecca Udorji and others.

The members of the PDP especially those at the Oguebego lineup were seen in virtually all the joints Friday in Awka purchasing assorted drinks and foods to passers bye and friends.

The chairman of the party in the state, Chief Ejike Oguebego, described the verdict as the will of God, while thanking members of the party for their patience all the while.

Also, he commended the Supreme Court judges for painstakingly going through the Anambra PDP scenario before arriving at their verdict, adding that it showed that God would never abandon his people.

But those in the camps of senators and Uba and Stella Oduah were speechless, as none of them agreed to speak to The Nation on the judgment.
