An Appeal Court in Abuja has ordered that Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State remain on seat pending the determination of suit challenging his earlier removal from office. A five-member panel of judges, led by Morenike Ogunwumiju, said the parties in the matter must “remain as they were” before the case got to the court. A Federal High Court had on June 27 nullified Mr. Ikpeazu’s election after finding him guilty of tax offenses. The court, presided by Okon Abang, ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to issue Samson Ogah a certificate of return. He said there were conflicting judgments on the matter. #premiumtimes |
