– Governoe Ikpeazu hassaid that Ogah has
some skeleton in his cupboard
– Ikpeazu said Ogah is desperate to become
governor so he can hide under the immunity
clause
– The embattled Abia state governor says
democracy is under attack
Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia state has said
that Uche Ogah is desperate to become
governor so as to get immunity against
subsisting criminal charges against him.
Governor Ikpeazu says Uche Oga has crimes to
answer for.
Punch reports that Ikpeazu made the statement
in reaction to the issuance of Certificate of
Return to Uche Ogah by the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC).
“We are baffled by the urgency and the
desperation to bounce into the government and
when put side by side with the various criminal
charges which border on different kinds of things
which are subsisting in various courts in Lagos
State against this same person, it becomes a little
bit clearer why the desperation in the first place;
(it’s) probably just to get a veil of immunity just to
run away from the certainty of the court’s decision
for or against him as it were.
What is on trial is our democracy; it is not about
me as a person, but it is about the will of the
people of Abia State. And why it is very difficult for
the Abia people to accept it is that everyone
knows that I have been working for the
government in this enironment.
My last duty post was (in) the Abia State
Environmental Protection agency and for anybody
to say that I have problems with my tax, it will be
strange to our people because they know I was
working for the government and the government
was paying me.
The Board of Internal Revenue (BIR), whose duty it
is to assess and levy tax has come out with the
document and said it was issued by them and if
there is any question to be asked, the BIR is the
one to answer the question.
I want to assure the people that this illegality will
not stand but I will test it through the Court of
Appeal and the Supreme Court.
I want to dissuade the rumours that are making
the round that some people are sponsoring this
injustice against our state because we understand
the current position of the government at the
federal level against corruption and it cannot
support somebody battling to wear the veil of
immunity just because the person wants to run
away from the certainty of justice.
Even if it was a death sentence that was passed
on me, I don’t think I deserved to be executed
without my right of appeal and that right is
undeniable and fundamental,” he said.
Meanwhile, Barrister Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, a
prominent lawyer based in Lagos has revealed
an alleged grand plan and agreement between
governor-elect of Abia state, Uche Ogah, and the
All Progressives Congress (APC).
He alleged that the ruling party and President
Muhammadu Buhari are creating a dangerous
precedence with their alleged pressure on the
Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) to issue certificate of return to Ogah.
The sitting governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, had
appealed the ruling of a court which removed
him from office and ordered that Ogah be
immediately given a certificate of return.
Ogah was to be sworn–in as governor on
Thursday but a court in Abia stopped the
exercise with an injunction. Ikpeazu also
maintained that he remained the governor. But
Adegboruwa, in a statement reported by
Vanguard, wondered why the rush to get Ogah
sworn-in when there was an appeal against the
court ruling . |

This is very cheap from the govt. How long will the immunity last? It can't last for ever. So coming out with this is very cheap. 1 Like |

I don't understand why some people should be asking for Ikpeazu to vacate office when he as appealed the recent court judgement! |
