INEC Presents Certificate Of Return To Uche Ogah As The New Governor Of Abia, Chief Judge Absconds

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) today issued the Certificate of Return to Uche Ogah of the Peoples Democratic Party as the new Governor of Abia State.

Mr. Ogah received the certificate in Abuja from the Director of Publicity of INEC, Oluwole Osaze-Uzi.

On Monday a Federal High Court judge, Okon Abang,  ordered INEC and the Chief Judge of Abia state to ensure Ogah be made the new governor of the state after sacking the governor, Okezie Ikpeazu for presenting a forged tax clearance certificate at the PDP primaries in 2014. The judge ruled that Gov. Ikpeazu has been disqualified for willfully presenting fake documents to win the primaries.

 

Saharareporters learnt that the judge has absconded on the orders of the sacked governor.
