Nigeria: INEC Drops Soludo, Ozigbo from List of Those to Contest Anambra Guber Election

The Independent National Electoral Commission INEC has published the list of candidates for the November 6 Governorship Election in Anambra state.

In the list published on Friday, the electoral umpire, in obedience to orders of a court, dropped the candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party Mr Valentine Ozigbo and that of the All, Progressives Grand Alliance APGA, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo.

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.
