Loyalists of the Peoples Democratic Party-recognised governorship candidate for the November 16 governorship election in Anambra State, Mr. Tony Nwoye, and that of court-recognised candidate, Sen. Andy Uba, engaged in a fight at the convention.
The event happened at the stand
allotted to the state inside the square.
Few minutes before the arrival
of President Goodluck Jonathan, the Anambra section of the venue was
thrown into confusion when the two groups laying claim to the
governorship ticket in the state exchanged blows for about an hour over sitting
position.
The shouts and use of abusive words
by the loyalists of the two men attracted delegates and journalists to the
stand.
Andy Uba had come before the others
with his supporters and was seated with the Minister of Aviation, Princess
Stella Oduah. His brother, Chris Uba, was also seated close to him.
There was peace in the stand until
the arrival of Nwoye, who came with his group, made up mostly of young men and
women.
It was initially difficult for him to
find a seat, but when he sighted one, he was told that it was reserved for a
guest.
The youths told Andy Uba
that he was serving a suspension from the party and that he ought
not be at the event.
Andy, who is a serving senator from
the state, remained silent, but his brother asserted that the suspension
had been lifted by a court judgment.
His explanation did not appease the
already charged youths as the shouting match degenerated into a brawl when one
of the youths pushed Chris and people behind him.
Chris however stood his ground and
the exchange of punches and blows continued among their supporters.
Sensing danger, security agents
attached to Oduah tactically moved the minister out of the scene to ensure that
she was not hurt.
Efforts made by the few security men
at the stand to stop the fight were resisted as the angry youths insisted that
Andy must leave the scene before peace could reign. But Andy remained seated
and did not utter a word.
The reinforcement of security men
saved the day, while the arrival of Jonathan, who moved round the stands with
some governors eventually stopped the feuding groups.
Nwoye was later seen seated beside
the Uba brothers though a man sat in-between him and Chris
