Umeadi, a professor of law at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), once served as Chief Judge (CJ) of Anambra State for seven years.
The nomination of Koli as running mate was contained in a statement by Umeadi’s campaign organisation issued on Sunday in Awka, the Anambra State capital.
According to the statement, Comrade Koli was chosen because of his discipline and commitment to the welfare of the masses over the years.
The statement reads in part: “Muhammed Koli is a frontline labour union activist and social crusader who has led many struggles for the welfare of Nigerian workers in his capacity as Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in Bauchi State from 1999 to 2002.”
