Professor Charles Soludo, candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has described Senator Andy Uba, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), as a kidnapper and certificate forger.
Gatekeepers News reports that Soludo made the accusation during a gubernatorial debate live on ARISE TV on Monday afternoon.
Soludo accused Andy Uba of kidnapping a sitting governor during the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo and further accused him of forging his Senior School Examination Certificate, SSCE.
Ubah was recently dragged to court over the school certificate he allegedly submitted for the election.
A suit marked no FHC/ABJ/CS/1211/2021, filled on October 8, 2021, at the Federal High Court, Abuja, says that the Form EC9 submitted by Uba to INEC was full of false information.
The Senior School Certificate Examination May/June 1974 Statement of Result purportedly issued by Union Secondary School, Awkunanaw, Enugu, Enugu State, under the Enugu State School System and allegedly bearing the name of Uba Emmanuel Nnamdi with Candidate Number 05465/089 is false.
It said that in 1974 when Uba left secondary school, the WAEC (4th respondent) did not conduct Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE).
“You don’t have a Senior School Certificate Examination result. Did you obtain a Senior School Certificate Examination result Certificate in 1974, did you? It’s forgery!
“My Co-debator[Andy Uba] by my right kidnapped a sitting governor,” Soludo said in during the Anambra governorship election debate organised by Arise TV.
In reaction to the accusation, Ubah said that Soludo did nothing as the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
He added that he was the one who made Soludo attain the position of being the CBN’s governor.
The Anambra governorship election will come up on November 6th 2021 amid serious security challenges posed by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
