Uju Anya: I’m Not Involved In Nigerian Politics

Nigerian-born American professor, Uju Anya says she does not belong to or affiliated to any Nigerian political party.

Uju Anya Refutes Being A Member Of Any Political Party In Nigeria

She made the refutal in a terse post on her official twitter handle on Friday.

According to her, anyone claiming she is in any way involved in Nigerian politics was lying, adding that her interest is in people and not in parties.

The university teacher further noted that even in the United States of America, where she presently works and resides, she is a registered independent.

“Gentle reminder, once again, that I am not involved or affiliated with any political party or movement in Nigeria. Even here in the US, I am a registered independent. Anybody who says I have anything to do with Nigerian politics is lying. My concern is people, not parties,” she wrote.

Kanyi Daily had reported that Anya had cried out that her life was under threat because of her comment on the late Queen of England, Queen Elizabeth II.

She said some blogs were linking her as a financier to the Independent People of Biafra (IPOB) and she could be tagged a terrorist.

Recall that in the now deleted tweet, Anya had wished the Queen excruciating pain, when it was announced that her health was in dire state on September 7, 2022, before her passing on the 8th.

As a result, she had received a lot of backlash on the social media platform including one from the Amazon Founder, Jeff Bezos.
