Abia gov. Crisis: Appeal Court begins delivery of judgment

Governor Ikpeazu

The Abuja division of Court of Appeal has started delivering judgment in the appeal filed by Governor Ikpeazu Okezie of Abia State against the ruling of a Federal High Court, Abuja which sacked him from office.

Justice Okon Abang had in the judgment sacked Ikpeazu from office over allegations that he supplied false tax information as a PDP Abia gubernatorial candidate in the 2015 general elections.

The judge had ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to issue a certificate of return to Uche Ogah, the litigant in the case who came second in the PDP primary for the Abia gubernatorial election.
