Abia: Tension As Supreme Court Set To Hear Ikpeazu’s Appeal by zuma4k(m): 7:35am On Feb 03, 2016
There is palpable fear in the camps of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressives Grand
Alliance (APGA) in Abia State as the Supreme Court
begins hearing on the appeal of Dr. Okezie Victor
Ikpeazu. Recall that Ikpeazu had approached the country’s apex
court challenging the judgment of the Appeal Court
sitting in Owerri, Imo State which sacked him and
declared Alex Otti of the APGA the governor of the
state.
The Nation gathered that while some members of the
two parties were optimistic that the Supreme Court
would rule in their favour, others were skeptical of
whether the judgment was going to be in their favour.
Information also have it that supporters of the two
parties across the 17 local government areas of the
state have equally been mobilized to leave for Abuja
ahead of Wednesday’s sitting of the Supreme Court.
Supporters of both parties it was gathered have booked
for assorted kinds of drinks at respective drinking joints
to celebrate the victory of their candidates should the
Supreme Court decides to rule on the matter before it
the same day.
Some of them who spoke anonymously expressed
fears that the judgment and stated that they were
willing to accept whatever would be the decision of
Supreme Court.
One of the supporters said “you know what happened
in Rivers and Ebonyi state matters respectively when
they came up for hearing at the Supreme Court. Such a
thing may happen in Abia’s case and as I speak with
you now, we are on our way to Abuja ahead of
tomorrow’s court sitting. Supreme Court like you know
is the apex court of the land and whatever their
decision is, we will abide by it. But I am sure that our
candidate will get a fair hearing.”
It was also gathered that security agencies have
beefed-up their units in the state to avoid being caught
unawares should any person or group of persons
decide to cause breakdown of law and order in the
state.
