The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has dropped the name of ex-CBN governor and All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) factional candidate for the Anambra governorship poll, Professor Chukwuma Soludo from the list of cleared candidates for the November 6 Anambra governorship election, Crimefacts.news can report.
The Commission, in a statement by its National Commissioner and Chairman Information and Voter Education Committee, Festus Okoye, cited Court Order for the exclusion of Soludo.
Also missing on the list is the People’s Democratic Party (PDP)
Soludo emerged winner of the APGA faction loyal to Governor Willie Obiano.
However the Commission cleared the candidate of the other APGA faction Chukwuma Micheal Umeoji for the poll, leaving the fate of Soludo, a former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, hanging in the balance.
Crimefacts.news had exclusively reported how the Chief Magistrate Court sitting in Abuja on Thursday issued a direct criminal summons against factional APGA Governorship candidate and former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo over serial abuse of office and breach of the Code of Conduct for Public Officers.
Crimefacts.news gathered that in a Direct Criminal Complaint brought pursuant to Sections 88 and 89 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015 by one Oliver Bitrus complaining that between the period Prof Soludo held office as a Public Officer he flagrantly breached the Code of Conduct for Public Officer by buying or acquiring interest in a property known and described as No. 50 Brondesbury Park, London, NW6 7AT, United Kingdom. The property is covered by File Plan of Tile No. MX362301.
