A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the Governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu, to vacate office immediately for submitting false information to his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, for the party’s governorship primary in December 2014.

Justice Okon Abang in a judgment on Monday ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to immediately issue a certificate of return to the plaintiff, Uche Ogah, who polled the second highest number of votes in the primary.

Uchechukwu S. Ogah is a Nigerian oil magnate, entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist. Ogah is the President of Master Energy Group, a conglomerate with over 15 subsidiaries and interests across a variety of industries.


In 2014, Dr. Uche Ogah, rejected the outcome of the Abia State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship primary held in Umuahia.

Ogah, who came second in the contest with 103 votes, claimed that the exercise was fraught with fraud.

Ogah said there was no credible and proper accreditiation of the delegates who participated in the primary, giving way to admission of non-delegates to vote in the exercise.

“I know there was no formal accreditation and people were given tags just to go and vote. Everything in Abia is fraud; why? Everything, from beginning to the end,” he said.

Obago...




Sadly though, the old guy was putting in a lot of Work..

But if he fraudulently conspired his way into office, then he must leave.

Na so power change hands one time.


My father my father!!! Its time to remember me for good too.

This guy will not go anywhere near Abia State govt house. Don't u guys get? It's a high Court judgement. There's still appeal court and supreme Court. At least another 2 years

Nigerian politicians are so backward. They will hound the opposition in power. throughout his tenure instead of allow them to rule so that the country can progress. They will threaten to impeach a sitting president in the final month of his tenure. That's how. Stuupid they can be.

brown loofers whats ur say on this!

Well lets wait and see

Congrats to this man. Thank God the high court didn't give the governorship seat to Abia APC we for no hear word again on nairaland.

Zombies are like are

Victory for democracy and the rule of law.
Mr new governor Sir, pls continue the good works of Ikpeazu.

This is how the court would also throw out Buhari for not having a basic O'level qualification.

The man looks like an achiever to me but let's get something straight, he's not moving to the government house anytime soon. There should be appeal and counter appeal by both parties till no one can appeal no more.

I dont know him

if it's true.... then it's good news..... uncompleted projects everywhere

Blame Bihari as usual.

But wait o.......

Omo nigeria and boju boju eh... ikpeazu dey him house dey rest jeje next thing he wake up for morning see say him Na ordinary Shia citizen. Wonders shall never end oh. Why Na only pdp governors this things dey happen to Na? I smell foul nyash
