Life na vanity. I don't know him in person but from the little information I gathered about from Abians, he was one time VC and Rector of ABSU and Abia Poly respectively. And under his watch, the two establishments performed abysmally. Nevertheless, may his soul rest in peace, Amen.

but same bitter Igbos are castigating tinubu as to old to be president and sick meanwhile they selected an old guy to run for gorvenor and he was even sick... See am now na...

You can't jettison Abia chatter of Equity because of clanish reason and survive .

Bible says " do not remove the ancient landmark "

The man allowed himself killed because of greed

You are really from abia state.

An agreement the founding fathers of the state made many years ago,. This man allowed himself to be wasted just like that

Sermwell:

Do you even know the meaning of runner-up? How does it apply here?

A runner-up is the second person in the party primary, oga!

shuttox:

He decamped to another party

No he didn’t. The runner up is Lucky Igbokwe & he didn’t decamp. All d bigwigs decamped wen they found out d Governor already had an anointed candidate. PDP should just forget it in Abia State when it’s comes to the Governorship election.

That's right
But ikpeazu is planning of a rerun

Freshtruth:
Who finish second in the primaries has the edge if he runs to Court he might just be favour remembered what happen in kogi. Yaya bello finished second in the primaries.

We have a new electoral law bro. Calm down

Shut up oga!! If it were so, all of candidates would have been dead. The man was sick and died! Stop quoting nonsense!

No matter who becomes, PDP will refuse woefully this time in Abia state

SmartPolician:
He added, “Provided that in the case of such withdrawal or death of a candidate, the political party affected shall, within 14 days of the occurrence of the event, hold a fresh primary to produce and submit a fresh candidate to the commission for the election concerned.

Who wrote this yeye law?

Why do you have to conduct another primary when you have a runner-up?

The second person should replace the deceased immediately!

They said 14 days to conduct a fresh primary, what if the Candidate died 3 days to the election (less than 14 days)?

shuttox:

That's right
But ikpeazu is planning of a rerun

Yes, because that is the new electoral law. So there must be a rerun. Nothing like the runners-up taking over or going to court.

kinharold:

Probably, the election for that state would be suspended

Mynd44:

In Kogi, there was no law guiding such events.

Now, the law has been made and signed, there is nothing the supreme court can/will do

supreme court that is still using 1993 ellectoral act to deliver its judgement...

fykes:

Lol. It's the pdp that made it. Nothing like founding fathers or maybe you are referring to pdp fathers ....

We like to complicate matters for Naija.

If the new signed law is not effective, Senate President Armed Lawan name could have been on the ballot

Oga, there are new laws now. And there was a lacuna in the law during that Faleke - Yahaya Bello matter

Now that is something

Lawan's name will be on the ballot soon...


Once supreme decide the case.

Akpabio won at supreme court even with the new electoral law.

You can't jettison Abia's chatter of Equity because of clannish reason and survive.

Bible says " do not remove the ancient landmark "

The man allowed himself killed because of greed

Abia Charter of Equity was between the Afoikpo zone, Old Aba and Old Bende zones.

Afikpo took the first when Dr Ogbonnaya Onu was elected the first executive governor of the State in the Third Republic. However, before the fourth Republic, the Afikpo Senatorial zone is gone by the creation of Ebonyi State leaving only two zones in the Abia Charter of Equity.

When Orji Uzor Kanu of Old Bende zone with 8 LGAs completed his 8 years, two terms of administration, he was supposed to handover to old Aba zone with 9 LGAs but reneged and handed over to another candidate from same Old Bende, T. A. Orji, making it a 16 years administration of Old Bende with their 8 LGAs while Old Aba has 9 LGAs.

It will be unwise for a zone with 8 LGAs to do 16 years while a zone with 9 LGAs will do 8 years. This is not Equity, it's fraud.

Moreover, Umunneato is Abia Central Zone from where Ikonne emerged and not the same Zone as Dr Ikpeazu's Abia South.

This is what I was telling them yesterday and they were arguing nonsense. Ignorant teenagers are too many here.

the issue of kogi state where i come from is a different case, election was conducted before the dead of prince abubarkar audu

There is no need for fresh primary election. The person who came second in the first primary election should be given the ticket.

Okay

Having a runner up wouldn't have worked in Abia case.Even the runner up was against the primaries, even he is still in Court.The election was Kangaroo selectionHaving a runner up wouldn't have worked in Abia case.Even the runner up was against the primaries, even he is still in Court.The election was Kangaroo selection...

And in all honesty Ikpeazu decided to choose Ikonne because his son is married to his daughter?
That your Argument is dead on arrival.
The Senatorial zones are created, chatter of Equity reverses to the effect.
It's NORTH, CENTRAL AND SOUTH....now it's back to North, nobody can stop it

Maybe you go and shut your papa up!

Racoon:
Abia needs deliverance from the misrule of the PDP just as Lagos needs from the APC.Imagine this state have suffered the unfortunate misrule of Orji Uzor Kalu, to Theodore Orji and now the absent Okezie Ikpeazu who compounded his misery upon the state with his time wasting senseless charade pursuing G5 cause of egocentric Wike.

The runner up is a very young independent candidate
