A front line governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Andy Uba, has called on his opponents in the race to stop dropping lies against him with the intent of tarnishing his image.

Uba, who spoke through his media aid, Arinze Igboeli, urged party delegates for the August governorship primaries in APC to ignore all the fabricated lies told against his person, saying that his desire is to serve the people of the state the way nobody had done before.

The statement reads: “We have been inundated on a daily basis with a number of false stories peddled against Senator Uba by several other aspirants who we will not mention here.

“Naturally, we ought to ignore these campaigns of calumny as the senator is focused on campaigning on issues as well as uniting the party in order to defeat the incumbent in the forthcoming election.

“On a number of occasions, Senator Uba has told the delegates that he has no issues with any other aspirant; he has refused to insult other aspirants even when it is obvious that such aspirants have been going about their campaigns with unhealthy antagonism towards his aspiration.

“What is important to Senator Uba is to tell the delegates what they intend to hear, how he will marshal out resources to win the election for the APC.

“What the Senator deems necessary is how to sell the development agenda of his party to the delegates and nothing more, for power belongs to God alone and only he alone can decide who will be the APC candidate and subsequently, the Governor of the state.”
