Anambra Youths and Elders Storm NASS in Solidarity to End Blackmail Against Andy Uba

  By J. Alagenyi A group of young and old alike, including women from Anambra State and the Southern senatorial district today staged a peaceful demonstration at the National Assembly Complex to express their distaste for the recent protest by some unscrupulous elements posing as Anambra youths which was aimed at blackmailing one of their amiable representative in the person of Senator Dr. Emmanuel Andy Uba, they termed the recent deliberate campaign of calumny against the Senator as evil and a campaign that is aimed at smearing the image of their performing Senator.  The group trooped out in their numbers bearing different placards with messages to express their dissatisfaction and in solidarity for Senator Dr. Emmanuel Andy Uba. Speaking with Comrade Engr. Chidi Orji, who led the group of Anambrarians to the National Assembly, he said that their sole mission was to speak against the incessant hiring of hoodlums to protest against Senator Andy Uba, and spread false news that the Distinguished Senator had no School Certificate. “We’re proud that Andy Uba is representing us, his certificates are there with INEC, at the Code of Conduct Bureau and also where he attended his Secondary School in Okunmagbo High School Enugu.” Engr. Orji stated. He stated further that WAEC head office is in Abuja and anyone who wanted to verify facts can go there and check rather than engage in false propaganda.  Engr. Orji further stated that “ The proud people of Anambra State want Andy Uba to come and salvage the people in the forth coming governorship election, we know vividly well that it is those who wants to contest the governorship election with him are behind the blackmail, but we’ll not relent”  Also speaking at the protest ground, Raymond Ejike notes that Senator Andy Uba has been running for office and conducting elections previously, asking that why is it now they are peddling the fake certificate rumour? “Andy Uba has done marvelously well in Anambra State and in his South Senatorial Constituency” Ejke said. He added that Andy Uba has his constituency project sighted in every community and in every ward, he urged the National Assembly to stop entertaining hired hoodlums who are paid to gang up, malign and soil the good names of Senator Andy Uba
