Ripples Nigeria
The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) on Tuesday counselled the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Anambra, Andy Uba, and his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) counterpart, Valentine Ozigbo, against challenging the outcome of the November 6 election won by Prof. Charles Soludo of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA).
In a statement made available to Ripples Nigeria on Tuesday and signed by its National Director of Information, Edeson Samuel, MASSOB said Soludo’s success in the election was a victory for the Anambra people and Biafrans in general.
He group added that any attempt by the defeated candidates to challenge the outcome on court would take the state back to the dark days.
MASSOB urged Ubah, Ozigbo and other aggrieved parties to join hands with the governor-elect to empower the youths and reduce unemployment in the state.
Uba had in a statement a few days ago rejected the outcome of the election.
He alleged that the exercise was marred by irregularities.
However, Ozigbo and the Young Progressives Party (YPP) candidate, Ifeanyi Ubah, had accepted the outcome of the election and congratulated Soludo on his success in the exercise.
The statement read: “Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, congratulates Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, the Anambra State Governor-elect for his victory at the just concluded poll.
