| Chief Sir Victor Umeh |
Chief Umeh,
a former National Chairman of APGA, beat 13 other candidates, including current
Labour and Employment Minister, Dr.
Chris Ngige of the All Progressives
Congress, with a wide margin to emerge the senator representing Anambra
Central.
The
rerun was conducted in seven local government areas, which are Njikoka, Awka
North, Idemili South, Dunukofia, Awka South, Anaocha and Idemili North. The
APGA candidate won in all the seven areas.

Review
gathered that voters’ turnout was abysmally poor, with only 9.1 percent of
voters accredited to vote. But the conduct was generally peaceful. The court
had earlier on excluded a major party, the Peoples Democratic Party which had
won the election in March 2015 from fielding a candidate in the rerun. The
election of its candidate, Senator Uche
Ekwunife, was annulled by the Court of Appeal on the grounds that she was
not properly nominated by her party. Her effort to revalidate her candidacy was
rebuffed by various courts, including the supreme court.
Declaring
the result of the rerun, the Returning Officer, Professor Charles Esimone, said Chief Umeh scored the highest
number of votes cast with 64, 878 (95.6 percent of the votes cast) and
therefore was returned elected.
Professor
Esimone, who is Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, said the total number of
registered voters in the seven local government areas was 745, 828 out of which
only 67, 872 (9.1 percent) were accredited.
Dr. Chris
Ngige, APC the candidate was second with 975 votes while Progressive Peoples
Alliance came third with 116 votes. Other parties that got votes were the Mega
Progressive Peoples Party (MPPP), 111 votes; Labour Party (LP), 95; National
Conscience Party (NCP), 72; Alliance for Democratic Congress (ADC), 57; United
Progressives Party (UPP), 55; Green Party of Nigeria (GPN), 48 and Action

Have you heard this? Many
Nigerian exporters have been defrauded of huge amount of money in the process
of exporting commodities to foreign countries. Do you know why? They were not
trained on export operations, management, documentations and the best methods
of payment in export trade. This is terrible!!! Nigerians cannot continue to
lose money to foreigners in the course of export business. Exporters, why don’t
you get a practical manual that teaches the stages of export trade from
processing and packaging of commodities to receipt of payment by the foreign
buyers. It teaches export operations, export management, export documentations
and methods of payment in export trade? It is a contemporary step-by-step guide
to export trade. It tells all the contemporary dynamics in export trade. To get
