A five-justice panel of the Court of Appeal, Enugu, today failed to agree on a verdict in a case filed by Emmanuel Nnamdi (Andy) Uba pleading to be declared Anambra State’s governor-in-waiting. Instead, the court, led by Justice J. S.  Ngwuta, has set a new date of November 13 for its ruling.

A source close to one of the justices told Saharareporters that the court’s inability to hand down a ruling today was largely dictated by our detailed expose on the intrigues and scandals involved in the gubernatorial elections petition appeal case brought by Mr. Uba. Our reports had disclosed that Mr. Uba, who amassed a huge wealth during the eight years he worked as former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s aide on domestic matters, had arranged to furnish some of the justices with millions of dollars in cash in exchange for a ruling that he must assume the governorship next March.

Another source told Saharareporters that the five-person panel could not arrive at an acceptable judgment due to the tension generated by the information that they were about to give a favorable verdict to Mr. Uba against popular expectation. A relative of Justice Ngwuta’s, a captain of the plot to smuggle Mr. Uba back to Government House, Awka, told our correspondent that members of the justice’s community had received numerous threats of mayhem “to Justice Ngwuta and his relatives if our son should take part in any deal to bring Chief Uba back to office.” The man said members of the community had conveyed the threats to Justice Ngwuta.

Why the judges chickened out for now

"Saharareporters investigations have revealed that the fear of mass uprising and breakdown of law and order in Anambra and neighboring states led the five-judge panel of the Enugu Division of the Court of Appeal to cancel its plan to sell the governorship of Anambra State to Emmanuel Nnamdi (Andy) Uba in exchange for millions of dollars in bribe"

Where are all those calling for Ojukwu's head?

Some of the things at stake. Listen to the tune and rhythm of the flute when the whole thing peaks!
Some people are determined to steal these from us and turn Igboland into a strange land imposed and modelled after the lands of the oppressors.
But, we no go gree!
