There are so many conflicting judgements being churned out and spewed about the whole place.
Federal High Court Abuja differing from the conclusion of Federal High Court Owerri!

And the Abia State High Court forming a far different opinion that is divergent from Federal Courts in Abuja and Owerri

What exactly is going on? One expects the litigants to have approached the Appeal Court rather than engaging the High Courts' pronouncements (Federal and State) to be adding more to the confusion

CACAWA:
this judgment is dead on arrival because tge man, Ikpeazu no longer has a certificate of return, it is what lawyers call an academic judgement... Only for the records. LOL

and d reason is too shalow for a learned judge to give, he said because ogah reject d primary result,

Op u got it wrong the judgement of today was between nwosu Vs Ikpeazu and not in any way in connection with Ogah and the court can't leave the matter before him and rule on Ogah cause he Ogah was not a party to this. as it stands the ruling of Justice Okon stands pending the determine of appeal. don't get it twisted.

CJERRYEMILEX:
ok
Nigerians and the world could now see
You pronounced a certificate forged without inviting the issuers of the certificate to verify the authenticity of the certificate.

on top that you rule against the provisions of the constitution and violate the fundamental human right of fair hearing and fair trail provided in section 36 of the 1999 constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria which you are quoting

on top that Inec rushed, signed and issued a certificate of return sharp sharp
And somebody wants to tell me that their is nothing fishy behind it.

well what ever they want let them do in this country the truth must stand out no matter who is standing on the way, darkness will never rule over LIGHT

You are right on point. I knew that they were just making noise and that the judge who started this was just after the money of the applicant and not the truth.

Okezie Ikepazu has been elected and nothing can change this. I cannot understand why people keep deceiving themselves over this issue. I don't blame the lawyers who take advantage of their ignorance of the law by the applicants and be smiling to the bank. How can the judge not invite the body that issued the said forged certificate to verify if it was forged before going ahead to pronounce his judgement and instruct that INEC issue a certificate to the applicant.People making mockery of our legal system.Nonsense

all things being equal,Dr Ikpeazu will surely remain Abia Governor and complete his 4yrs tenure...QED

Ponponkon:
Bro lalasticlala and Mynd44 every Dick Tom and Harry including the boy Tonyebarcanista knew that Ikpeazu's tax papers are original. God will continue to put our enemies to shame.

You just dey run around Nairaland dey twist facts. Ogar did not say the certificate was forged, his case was based on ikpeazu's acknowledgement that all documents submitted to INEC was authentic and verified by him. There's always a clause in INEC form for that. This is where the abuja high court based it's judgement and that is why Abia Board of internal revenue was not invited to witness, because ikpeazu's legal team had already acknowledged that their was error in the tax document. Ogah'd legal team is far intelligent, they didn't sue for forgery.

We all know that Owerri high court judgement was staged. Ogah has been on this case since Dec 2014, a year and 7 months was taken b4 judgement was delivered. Nwosu's case was all a script, written, filed and delivered within 2 working days; the fastest in the history of this country.

Anyway, it is only an appellate court that can over-rule the federal high court's decision.

Wetin concern me self, make una carry una wahala dey go make me find wetin I go chop.

[quote author=phemflex90 post=47340013]federal High court at Abuja has absolute power over state high court, Ogah is qualified according to Law ]



If I read correctly, today's judgment was passed by another federal high Court in owerri. Both the federal high Court Abuja and the federal high Court owerri have concurrent jurisdiction so none of their judgment precede the other. Only the court of appeal can confirm or overturn both decisions. But in law, Ogah really cannot be declared governor for a primary whose results he rejected and an election he never contested . It amounts to reaping where he did sow. Even the almost similar issue in Kogi State after Audu's death can be distinguished from this one.

Rubbish Ghana must go judgement obtained at Ariaria market Aba. Tell the Legal fools that Oga's rejection of the Primary result did not invalidate the result and as such he is the governor of the state by law.

Ponponkon:
Don't mind the criminals, they are going back to their caves soon. Ikpeazu for President 2023

lol ikpeazu for president? hahahaha
*falls from bitter leaf tree*
you should also laugh at yourself

After corrupt politicians in this country, the judiciary is the most corrupt. Where does that leave us as a country

In my opinion, I see this whole ish as a ploy to destroy the unity of Abia state PDP. If I were Ogah, I will back off knowing that Okezie Ikpeazu is not just my party member but also my brother. In the end, if victory goes to Okezie, what will become of Ogah? Will he still enjoy peace with Okezie? The whole thing will just look like they used him to make news headlines. And if Okezie loses, what will be the fate of Abia people? Especially the Aba people.

This INEC then deserve to be probe... They have collected some token from ogah as bribe... Why issuing a certificate of return to him when the issue has not been appealed to and finally settled


Sai baba, I suspect kwaruptn there... INEC don collect bribe...


EFCC!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do your job

in electoral matters, you cannot reject the outcome of an election and still ask that you be declared winner. choose one.

But this case don dey get as e be sha. I only hope the final outcome won't cause unrest in Abia state.

kcnwaigbo:
How many courts judgement are we going to see in this matter!! Chai!

From any legal angle, Allagoa with this new judgement is the more meticulous and unbiased judge than the earlier judge whose judgement and pronouncements stink, smell and are most mischievous.

That's Bubu's government for us.

That judgement that sacked Ikpeazu was a calculated attempt at the highest quarters to sink Abia state by making Abia people engage in inter clan war for the duration of the tenure.

Most of Abia state'a revenues would have gone to hiring SANS as well as on attempts to use the state's allocations to influence the judiciary so that Ogah can occupy the government highest office in Umuahia for four years.

I think it's safe to say even the court and it's judges are confused. One issued judgement in one's favor the other issued judgement in the others favor. I won't be surprised if a third candidate is also declared governor after ikpeazu and ogah. The judiciary is rigged

Foolish nigerians with No single drop of brain, no thinking faculty, confused set of people...with dead moral values... How can a man who has committed tax fraud.... Even With my little pay I still pay tax to My Govt, yet a Tax fraudster, wants to Govern and use tax payers money to enrich Himself and family... Yet foolish ppl see nothing wrong About that,because you support Crime, you make criminals hero...and that's why pliticians will continue to loot nigeria dry and you All will continue to suffer in this country.. All that plenty judgement in favour of ikpeazu...... Means he is actually guilty, why has he not gotten a federal high judgement He is guilty of tax fraud and thus, he is not fit To even be a local govt chairman... By law.

Judges in Nigeria are now more confused than ordinary citizens,they do not have total control of their mind and decisions being controlled by the executives.The irony is that from bar they call themselves "Learned" but one wonders how LLB and BL can make one learned,let judges be holders of doctorate degree in Law and all this madness will stop,NBA,NJC,etc should call these judges to order,people are now ridiculing a noble profession because of these greedy judges.

Abeg play me Home and over 5.5, I bet 2000naira

This judgment is clear and straight forward. It further indicates that justice Okon Abang of Abuja high court needs to be checked. That man seems to have derailed.

fergie001:
Big lies.Op,,try better next time.The judgement in Owerri never mentioned Ogah but Nwosu,u are 2 old for this nah

Shaarrrrraaaaap there, why call me a liar, have you clicked the source?

They want to destroy Abia with useless politics .. If Oga through Jungle justice find himself into seat of governorship, Abia state will be haywire till normalcy is returned.. this just the first step.

Hush! No let person hear u talk ds kind thing! Go and read up d Constitution and practice rules, they are courts of concurrent jurisdiction! The FHC has no 'superior' or any other power over a State High Court.

phemflex90:

It is very embarrassing to see you displaying your ignorance and emptiness in this forum. Both federal and state high court cannot override each other. Federal high court does have power to set aside the judgment of the state high court.

Anguish of nations not knowing the way out.

Very sound, clear and unbiased judgment. Well done Mr justice.
