JUDICIAL DRAMA: Who Is The Governor Of Abia State?
…No, he remains Gov — FHC Owerri
Enough of this Conflicting Orders Judiciary! Who is the Governor of Abia State?...
Abia State governorship crisis turned dramatic yesterday as two divisions of the same court gave conflicting orders on the fate of the embattled Governor Okezie Ikpeazu.
While a Federal High Court Abuja which had on June 27 sacked the governor from office held that he remained sacked until a higher court decides otherwise, another Federal High Court sitting in Owerri, Imo state ruled that Ikpeazu was validly elected and he therefore remains the governor.
Interestingly, both courts relied on the same tax receipts presented before them by Governor Ikpeazu which was alleged to have been forged.
Abians are confused, is it Ikpeazu, the Ambode of Abia. Sprang from nowhere, chosen by the gods. The deity that decreed him can no longer summon the winds. So he has been left like a tailless cow to suffer the menace of flies. It must be harrowing. These implacable flies dancing harmlessly like butterflies but stinging like charmed bees.
OR
Uche Ogah, the quiet and unassuming dove. Now reeling out dance steps dictated by a practiced but invisible drummer. The mastery of the ability to stampede federal bureaucracy. Frightened Ikpeazu has learnt to fly frantically, without perching. Abia, a hive of determination and industry, forced into a week long sleep. Oginidi.
