Today 30 July, 2021, the Court of Appeal sitting in Kano has granted the All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA, led by Victor Oye and closely monitored by Chukwuma Soludo the flagbearer recognized by Oye leave to Appeal against the Jigawa Judgment of 30th June, 2021.

The Jigawa High Court sitting in Dutse had ruled that Umeoji was the rightful candidate of APGA. Umeoji, the member representing Aguata Federal Constituency is the candidate pushed by the Jude Okeke-faction of the party. INEC thus published his name as APGA’s flagbearer.

On July 19th, Oye’s APGA went to court and obtained a ruling from the High Court in Awka which declared Chukwuma Soludo and Ibezim, the rightful candidates of APGA and ordered INEC to re-publish the Anambra Candidates list with Soludo’s name.

INEC complied with the ruling.

Now, both Jude Okeke and Victor Oye’s APGAs are back in court arguing the merit of their cases.
