Andy Uba fails to appear in Court

February 19, 2007
Emmanuel Andy Uba did not show up for court hearing appointment on Monday 10am before Justice Chukwukere to defend a lawsuit filed against him over his forged academic qualifications and fraudulent information given to INEC in the PDP gubernatorial application form. The plaintiffs – Barrister Ikemefuna as asked the Federal High Court to disqualify Andy Uba’s gubernatorial candidacy in Anambra State on the aforementioned grounds. The judge has scheduled the next mandatory court hearing for Thursday and Friday this week.

As reflected in his INEC form filings, Emmanuel Andy Uba writes that he has a high school certificate obtained from Awkunanu Secondary school and a "Doctorate in Sciences" obtained from Buxton University in London while tactfully avoiding the mentioning of his now debunked claims of having obtained a Bachelors degree from Concordia University in Canada and a Masters degree from California State University in Los Angeles, California. This is as Saharareporters had previously exposed Emmanuel Andy Uba’s fraudulent educational claims in December of 2006 that revealed he (Andy Uba) never obtained a Bachelors degree from Concordia University in Canada or a Masters degree from California State University. However as evident in the INEC form submitted by Emmanuel Andy Uba, he still holds on to the claim of having obtained a doctorate from Buxton University. As also revealed by Saharareporters in the December 2006 report, Buxton University has been found to be an unaccredited university supposedly based in the UK – of which has been found upon futher investigation to be based a Portugal. Buxton University was discovered to be phony university that issues doctorate degrees through “instantdegrees.com” an online program that issues doctorate degrees in three hours.

Through this end, the plaintiffs were able to provide deluge of evidence pointing to the fraud perpetrated by Andy Uba. As Saharareporters gathered, education experts have been hired from the UK to testify on the genuineness of Andy Uba’s doctorate degree from Buxton University. Sources in Abuja in talking with Saharareporters disclose that Andy Uba, in light of the recent development, have become unsettled and have began canvassing for means to subvert the unfolding process.

Authoritative sources have pointed to the young Judge handling the case as possible point of compromise – as it has been discovered that she may be in for a shock as Andy Uba concludes his plans to scuttle the case administratively. According to the source, the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court Abuja, Roseline Ukeje is an intimate family friends with Andy Uba to the extend that one of her children along with Obiora Okoli currently works for Andy Uba as his close personal assistants. It is believe that Chief Judge Ukeje will perform to aide Andy Uba via transferring the case out of Judge Anuri Chukwukere’s court. Also, it is worthy to mention that Obiora Okoli happens to be the individual which Andy Uba used to deliver the free petrol/kerosene to the people of Anambra recently, Obiora is a director of PPMC a subsidiary on the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), he believed to represent Andy Uba on the PPMC board .

As a last card should Chief Ukeje fails to deliver, Andy Uba is said to be banking on the party leaders at the PDP hierarchy to ignore the court judgment which many informed experts believe maybe unfavorable to Andy Uba.
