Former governor of old Anambra State, Mr. Jim Nwobodo, has cautioned the All Progressives Congress (APC) not to contemplate cancelling the “transparent and credible” APC Governorship Primary. His warning came on the heels of tension that followed the submission of a report by an appeal committee set up by the APC national leadership. 

Nwobodo said : “That election was transparent, free and fair and everybody saw  it on television from start to finish and hence no one should dare to nullify that election” Nwobodo said in a telephone interview with journalists. 

The former governor’s remark re-echoed his position which he made public the day the election result was announced by Governor Shettima on live television, August 27 in Awka, Anambra State.
