Anarchy Looms in Abia State as 3rd Contender to the Governorship Sit Emerges....See Details

The confusion, triggered by Dr Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah, who obtained a court order which sacked Governor Okezie Ikpeazu and affirmed him as governor-elect, expanded, at the weekend, as the third contender to the Abia governorship emerged, according to the Vanguard.


A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship aspirant in the state, Friday Nwosu, filed a suit against the judgment of the Federal High Court which declared Ogah as governor-elect.

Nwosu averred that the court, having disqualified Ikpeazu as the governorship candidate of the PDP in Abia in the 2015 polls, should have declared him as governor-elect and not Ogah.

The PDP governorship aspirant argued that the court ought not to have allowed Ogah to benefit from the primary election he condemned by refusing to sign the result while also petitioning the leadership of the party and asking it to conduct another primary election.
Justice A.I. Allagoa of the Federal High Court, Owerri has fixed tomorrow and Tuesday to hear Nwosu’s suit against Ikpeazu and Ogah. Nwosu is also said to be the first aspirant to file a tax forgery suit against Ikpeazu and joined Ogah as one of the respondents.


Meanwhile, Ogah, yesterday, described as an affront on the rule of law the refusal of the Abia State Chief Judge,Theresa Uzoukwu, to swear him in as “the only elected governor” of the state.
