Ahead of the August 19 governorship primary of the All Progressives Congress in Anambra State, some members of the party protested on Tuesday at  Nzam, Anambra West Local Government Area of the state against an aspirant for allegedly placing some delegates on oath.

Led by Chief Damian Muo-Udevi, the protesters alleged that a certain aspirant was cajoling the delegates to swear to an oath that they would vote for him.

Addressing journalists, he said, “They have been going round all the 21 councils of the state with bags of money since weekend luring and manipulating delegates to swear by a deity that they would vote for the man

“How can a man who has played around in the Presidency, National Assembly and Anambra politics for the past two decades without any single achievement want to come to govern Anambra State?

“It’s clear he has nothing to offer to the people. He has never validly contested any election in his life, instead he always use cash to mesmerise and circumvent laid-down rules and processes.”

Muo-Udevi  urged the  national leadership of the party not allow people who had credibility problem to spoil  the chances of the APC in the November 18 poll.
