ALL PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS REJECTS ANAMBRA STATE GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION, CALLS IT MONUMENTAL FRAUD.

The All Progressives Congress (APC), Anambra State, has described the recently concluded governorship election as a monumental fraud.

The State Chairman of the Party, Basil Ejidike, said this during a press conference in Awka, the State Capital, on Sunday while reacting to a statement credited to the erstwhile State Publicity Secretary, Okelo Mmadukaife, that the APC in the State has congratulated the Governor-elect and candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Charles Soludu.

According to him, the party is law abiding and will never identify with illegality, brazen impunity and fraud and so will not congratulate the declared winner.

Ejidike, therefore, urged that such information should be totally disregarded.

Meanwhile, the Anambra State Chapter of the APC has sacked its Publicity Secretary, Okelo Madukaife.

The State Chairman of the Party, announced this at a press conference in Awka, the Anambra capital on Sunday.

SUPER EAGLES’ COACH, GERNOT ROHR SEEKS OPEN PLAY GOALS AGAINST CAPE VERDE.

Super Eagles Coach, Gernot Rohr, says he would love his players to score from open play in their next game against Cape Verde instead of scoring from the Penalty spot as was done against the Lone Stars of Liberia in Saturday’s game.

Speaking after the game, the German-born tactician admitted the Liberian defence was very tight which made it difficult for his players to penetrate through.

Rohr said the team will do their best to score from open play in their next game on Tuesday in Lagos.

Two goals from the penalty spot from Victor Osimehn and Captain Ahmed Musa in both halves of the game ensured victory for the Nigerian side against Liberia.

The win keeps Nigeria at the top of Group C of the Qualifiers with 10 Points, while Cape Verde who they play next, are second with 8 Points.
