Former Governor David Umahi Maybe Facing Criminal Charges by DellaGold: 5:54am On Jun 22, 2023
It was reviewed recently that it's been really a very difficult time for former Governor of Ebonyi State Mr. David Umahi at the ongoing election petition tribunal sitting in Abuja

It was allegedly reported that a staff of the INEC and the former Governor may be heading to prison soon for a criminal offences bordering on forgery and criminal conspiration

The story has it...

In a bid to establish his case at the Ebonyi South Senatorial Election Petition Tribunal against Mr Umahi, Hon. Linus Okorie applied for a Certified True Copy (CTC) of BVAS report from INEC Nigeria and was given one, duly signed

Surprisingly, it was allegedly reported that the former Governor Umahi was in possession of a different BVAS report for same Senate election, also duly signed by INEC

It was alleged that the intention was to use the (now discovered as forged) document to 'deceive' the court and thwart the course of Justice

Hon.Linus quickly wrote to INEC asking them to confirm between the two reports which is authentic

The INEC replied, affirming that the one issued to Hon. Linus is AUTHENTIC while the one 'purportedly' issued to former Governor Umahi is FAKE

Hon. Linus didn't stop there,

He wrote again to INEC, asking them to give him another Certified True Copy (CTC) of BVAS report for Ebonyi South Senate election

INEC quickly complied and issued him a fresh CTC of the BVAS report

It was compared, and it related COMPLETELY with the earlier issued CTC and differed COMPLETELY to the one purportedly issued to former Governor Umahi

It's now fully established, that what the former Governor is holding is a forged document, in connivance with one Nnenna Essien of INEC's ICT department, Abuja.

This is a clear case of forgery. It's a criminal offence and punishable under Nigerian laws

I learnt also, that the legal team of Hon. Linus has written to the force headquarters

Asking them to take appropriate action. It's really a serious issue

He former Governor no longer has immunity and so I learnt he's been dodging public appearances

He's been making efforts to use his contact with the Presidency to shield himself from arrest

But can Tinubu Presidency descend so low by protecting offenders, even those involved in criminal cases?. I doubt it.

The implication of these alleged offences is weighty

If found true as evidences point toward, the former governor will not only lose his temporary Senate Seat in court but also face criminal charges

Many believe and it's actually true that former Governor Umahi didn't win the Ebonyi South Senate election. He manipulated his way through

It's berserk and defile logic that in a Senatorial Zone where APC lost the two Federal House of Representatives seats that she(APC) would win the Senate Seat

By the way, Hon. Linus has 22nd of June to end his case as a petitioner in court and the defence of the respondents(Dave Umahi, APC and INEC) will also be heard in due course.

May justice prevail.

Another angle to the electoral Criminality under this criminal mandate holder government. The INEC electoral malpractice of 2023 is a watershed. They can't justify or disprove it.
