Victor Uwaje Is Not Senator Andy Uba's Former Lawyer But A Blackmailer - Media Aide

Senator Andy Uba of the All Progressives Congress, APC, representing Anambra South and a governorship aspirant in the state has denied that one Victor Uwaje claiming to be his former lawyer is not but a cheap blackmailer who had severally attempted to extort money from him through blackmail,

Mr. Victor Uwaje had claimed in a publication on Premium Times, an online newspaper that he was a former lawyer to Senator Uba, who had helped him in several legal matters both home and abroad.

But Senate Uba in a Press Statement signed by his Media Consultant, Comrade Dr. Ajibade Sunday and made available to News Punch, debunked his claims in its entirety. He said at no time did Victor Uwaje was his lawyer or solicited on my behalf on any legal matter or matters either in Nigeria or abroad.

The statement further stated that Victor Uwaje is a known blackmailer who had severally attempted to extort money from him through blackmailing his reputable name.

The Statement reads:

"Our attention has been drawn to a publication on Premium Times where one Victor Uwaje claiming to be a former lawyer to Senator Emmanuel Nnamdi Uba, (APC, Anambra South); we hereby unequivocally restate that at no time did the bearer, Victor Uwaje was a lawyer or solicited on behalf of Senator Uba on any legal matter or matters either in Nigeria or abroad."

"Victor Uwaje is no person than a known blackmailer who had attempted severally to extort money from me through blackmailing. In fact,  Senator Andy Uba has written a petition against him (Victor Uwaje) bothering on blackmailing to the Inspector General of the Nigerian Police."

"The public is here urged to disregard his claims, that they are nothing but false claims aimed at blackmailing me; that very soon, appropriate legal actions shall be instituted against him."

"Thanks"

Media Consultant To Senator Emmanuel Nnamdi Uba

PDP's Minority Shrinks Again As Senator Andy Uba Officially Defects At The Senate Plenary

The minority status of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP further shrank today as Andy Uba the Senator representing Anambra South, officially defected from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC at the Senate plenary.

Reading his defection letter earlier today by the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, explained that Uba was exploiting section 68(1)(G), which had been validly tested in the Supreme Court, just as he said he had already enrolled his membership with APC in his ward.

in the letter, Senator Uba told the Senate that he had dumped his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

With Senator Uba’s defection, the number of PDP senators has now reduced to 42, while that of APC has risen to 65.

Reacting to the announcement, Senate Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio, who rose under Order 43, said his seat must be declared vacant and made to surrender his mandate.

Akpabio, who explained that the mandate belonged to the PDP, said if he failed, they would go to court.

He said: “Mr. President, distinguished colleagues, the mandate belongs to PDP, and by virtue of what has happened, he has to surrender his seat, else we will go to court to contend for it.”

The Minority Leader, however, advised the Senate President to remove him as Chairman of Public Accounts Committee to save the Senate of any confusion.

Uba currently chairs the Committee on Public Accounts, a seat that is traditionally reserved for the opposition party.

It would be recalled that Public Accounts Committee is the only committee in the Senate and House of Representatives that reflects in the constitution and is always headed by the opposition.

Senator Uba’s defection came barely a month and two days after Senator Nelson Asuquo Effiong, Akwa Ibom South, dumped the PDP for the APC.
