Anambra PDP candidate, Nwoye, heads to tribunal

The  governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the November 16 election in Anambra State, Mr.  Tony Nwoye, has filed a petition at the election petition tribunal to challenge the election of Chief Willie Obiano of the All Progressives Grand Alliance.

Nwoye, who disclosed this in Awka on Monday during an interactive session with some stakeholders of the party in the state, said he was challenging the election because it was fraudulent.

According to him, the  party heirarchies at the national, zonal and state levels are in support of the decision to challenge the election result, contrary to widely-held notion that PDP will not go to court over the governorship election.

Nwoye said the party would turn out victorious at the tribunal.

He commended the party loyalists for supporting the PDP to come second in the election not minding the conspiracy and distractions as a result of which the party was only able to campaign for just two weeks before the election.
