April Polls: Chris Uba Sues Andy Uba Over Forged Certificates Posted by admin on 2007/2/15 16:08:11 (968 reads) By Nnamdi Felix/Abuja
The immediate past Special Assistant on Domestic Affairs to President Olusegun Obasanjo and PDP’s governorship candidate for Anambra State, Dr. Andy Uba, has been dragged before a Federal High Court in Abuja. The suit, filed by Greg Ikemefuna had INEC as first defendant and Uba as second defendant. However, there were unconfirmed reports that Chris, Andy’s brother, was merely using Greg as proxy to sue Andy. Ikemefuna is challenging the falsification made by Andy Uba in the INEC form CF001 and the affidavit in support of personal particulars of persons seeking election to the office of governor of Anambra State. In the form (CF001) Andy had stated under Section B (3) that he attended Concordia University, Montreal, Canada; California State University, Los Angeles; Boston University, London and that he obtained Doctor of Science degree in 1996.
Greg stated in the affidavit that Uba’s personal particulars as contained in INEC’s form CF001 relating to the tertiary institution he attended were false. He also stated that Uba’s statement that he had never been convicted or sentenced for an offence was false. The plaintiffs also declared that Uba’s claim that he obtained Doctor of Science was false. Greg also requested the court to grant an order disqualifying Uba from contesting as the governorship candidate in Anambra State during the April polls. He also wants the court to issue an order pronouncing PDP guilty of an offence by submitting a disqualified candidate as Anambra governorship candidate and imposing a fine of N500,000 in accordance with the Electoral Act. He urged the court to issue an order of perpetual injunction restraining INEC from recognising and allowing Uba to participate in the elections. Hearing of the suit begins on Monday next week.

Anambra my Anambra, what is going on that this Coal camp/ Uwani boys can run a state like you with total disregard? Where are the mighty Igbo men of Anambra extraction - the land of Zik, Okadigbo, Ojukwu, Orizu, Asika, etc? Where are those great Anambra Sons and daughters while riffrats run your once proud state down? Who will save Anambra State from the Uba boys?

(CNN) -- The dean of admissions at one of America's most prestigious schools resigned on Thursday after the university discovered she had lied about her academic credentials.
Marilee Jones, who joined the staff of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1979 to lead the recruitment of women at the university, stepped down from her post after admitting that she had "misrepresented her academic degrees to the institute," according to a statement posted on MIT's Web site.
"I misrepresented my academic degrees when I first applied to MIT 28 years ago and did not have the courage to correct my resume when I applied for my current job or at any time since," Jones said in a posting on the school's Web site.
"I am deeply sorry for this and for disappointing so many in the MIT community and beyond who supported me, believed in me, and who have given me extraordinary opportunities."
Patti Richards, spokeswoman for MIT, said the school had received information about Jones' credentials and investigated them. "At various times she claimed to have received degrees from Albany Medical College, Rensellaer Polytechnic Institute, and Union College and we confirmed that she had not graduated from any of these schools."
"This is a sad and unfortunate event," said Daniel E. Hastings, dean for undergraduate education at the Cambridge school, in a Web posting. "But the integrity of the institute is our highest priority, and we cannot tolerate this kind of behavior."
Jones was named dean of admissions at MIT in 1997 and received MIT's highest award for administrators, the "MIT Excellence Award for Leading Change." She was also the 2006 winner of the "Gordon Y Billard Award" given "for special service of outstanding merit" performed for the school.
Stuart Schmill, MIT's senior associate director of admissions, has been named the interim director of admissions.
