The election of Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State has been affirmed by the Supreme Court in Owerri today.
Justice A.I Allagoa rulled on friday 08, June that the plantiff, Friday Nwosu was unable to prove beyond reason doubt the Tax clearance document was forged, Vanguard reports.
It was however ruled out that the Document was forged.
The case was therefore
dismissed.
Justice Okon Abang had on Monday, June 27, declared Ikpeazu unfit to
occupy the Abia state governor’s office for allegedly submitting false
information to his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, ahead of the
party’s governorship primary in December 2014.
He was ordered to vacate office as governor while the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC) was ordered to immediately issue a
certificate of return to Uche Ogah, who polled the second highest number
of votes in the primary.
However, Nwosu filed a suit, insisting that he is the only lawful
candidate of the PDP and ought to be declared governor since Ikpeazu has
been disqualified and Ogah didn’t run for the party’s primary.
Justice A.I Allagoa
ruled on Friday, July 8, that the plaintiff, Friday Nwosu, was unable to
prove that the tax documents were forged, Vanguard reports.
