Supreme Court affirms Okezie Ikpeazu as Abia Governor

Okezie Ikpeazu

Okezie Ikpeazu has been affirmed by Supreme Court as Abia State Governor. Two out of the three-man panel of the Supreme Court struck out the appeal of Mr Uche Ogah, challenging the nomination and election of Ikpeazu, thereby affirming the judgment of the appeal court.

Mr Ogah’s appeal was dismissed for lacking merit. The Chief Justice of Nigeria described the case as a storm in a teacup, which shouldn’t have been entertained in the first case.
