The Andy Uba faction of the Anambra State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) finally held its Caucus meeting in Abuja passing a vote of confidence in Andy Uba.

Prime Business Africa learnt that the Chris Ngige faction’s could not hold as planned because the APC national leadership gave tacit support to the Andy Uba faction.

Both Senator Chris Ngige and Andy Uba had planned to hold separate Caucus meeting at 10 am in Abuja today (Friday) in what would have been a public show of the divisive tendencies within the ruling political party.
