New Government Sets For Abia State

sources please.

Nigeria!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ Texxazpete,

According to the Leadership story posted above, the election was overturned because he didn't resign as Chief of Staff to the previous governor, Orji Kalu.

However, I've seen another report on the internet claiming the election was overturned because he failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that he is not a member of a notorious cult that operates out of the infamous Orkija shrine.

I agree with you that his membership of Orkija should not be a tangible reason to nullify the election. It is his fundamental human right to worship whatever, in any mode he chooses.  Or could it be that the decree of the Murtala/Obasanjo regime banning all public office holders from being members of a cult has been incorporated into the constitution? Nevertheless, it can still be argued that Orkija is a religion/traditional faith system and not a cult.

It would be interesting to see how the 'wayoman' Orji Kalu would react to this. If the judgement hinges on his failure to resign, there are only two options, they either produce a resignation letter and the case collapses or no letter and the judgement stands. By the way, if he didn't resign at the appropriate time (before the election), there will be no point in manufacturing a resignation letter as the world is awash with technologies that can confirm/pinpoit the date any document was written. 

Orji Kalu, couldn't have envisaged this because of his high level of illiteracy. But how come Theodore himself did not understand that he should have resigned before d elections. In any case, justice has been done though I do not trust Onyema Ugochukwu as he is OBJ's man. Onyema Ugochukwu was a dead man at NDDC, come to think of it, how did he even make his money to go into d race?

Though not given to an arrogant display of intellectualism, his acuity is immeasurably perplexing. This is manifest in the deftness and adumbration with which he has accurately forecasted major events. No wonder some believe that he became a governor by a combination of adroit diplomacy and sheer good luck. He went through his academic career diligently and was at various times at Christ the King School, Aba for his primary education, Eziama High School, Aba; Government College, Umuahia; University of Maiduguri; Harvard University Graduate Business School (AMP 153) Boston, USA and Abia State University.

He holds a B.Sc. degree in Political Science of the Abia State University, Uturu, IEA Certificate by USAID, honorary doctorate degrees in Law by the University of Port Harcourt and Abia State University, Uturu, and City State University, Los Angeles, USA




And why are some people calling him illiterate

Ho- Ha!
We cannot support a government hearded by Onyema Ugochukwu, because he did not win the election that even the tribunal agreed was free and fair and won by TA Orji. Truth remains that Orji is more popular, more decent, humane, and selfless than Onyema. Onyema was a product of OBJ's self-styled leadership which hinged on personal vendetta that saw TA Orji incarcerated for long months leading to the guber elections. shame on Onyema who is coming to reap where he did not sow. OBJ was in Abia 2ce to campaign yet his party could not win a free and fair election.

may the Appeal court upturn this verdict. Amen

Omo Ibo, Biko! Let nobody trivialise issues here, please. Face the facts, not the hear-say.

[color=#006600]Onyema Ugochukwu is a fool he will never smell abia state.I pray that the living God will touch the Appeal judges so that they will uphold the election of T.A Orji,because he is the duly elected man.
