Are you just been stupid or merely ignorant? The Governor has filed for appeal and stay of execution before INEC handed Uche Ogah a certificate of return.The Appeal court is expected to rule on the stay of execution on monday.
Listen to yourself..
"The governor filed for appeal and stay of execution BEFORE Inec handed Uche Oga a certificate of return. The appeal court is expected to rule on the stay of execution on Monday".

You're obviously being economical with the truth and that is if you have the truth.

The electoral act says once an appeal is filed,the stay o execution is automatic.Anyway the osisioma high court has already ordered a stay of execution and the appeal court will rule on the stay of execution on monday
My brother like someone replied you in another thread and I quote

No court will deprive a judgment creditor the fruits of his Labour.


Meaning that if Ikpeazu thinks he will get a stay on monday as temporary relief then he should think again.

Like T.S Ogundaini. ESQ said

Normally, no court will want to grant a stay of execution as a matter of course and that is why an applicant seeking this discretion of the court in his favour must therefore show special or exceptional circumstances why the court must deprive a successful litigant, the fruits of his success---See the following cases SPDC v. Arlio-Joe (Nig.) Ltd. (2003) 1 NWLR pt 845 pg 19, Dada v. I.T.L (2005) 11 NWLR pt.936 pg 293

The abia HC did nt decide on the merit of the case. Just an application for stay of the judgment.
If the abia HC decided on its merit, then that's an appeal.
The Abia HC CANNOT put on hold the judgement of FHC or another HC. That is judicial rascality

falana says the judgement from Abia is illegal. Did the judge who gave the judgement study his own law in another planet? Or did he not consult his books before writing his judgement? Look at conflicting judgements involving Sheriff and Makarfi. I hope the judiciary will not burn down this country..

cktheluckyman:
there is a valid court order from the Abia state high court stopping Uche Ogah's swearing in.Besides the constitution is very clear that once the notice of appeal is filed,the incumbent will retain his seat until his appeal is exhausted
Which part of your constitution says that? Is it your made in Aba constitution? Every half baked lawyer can lay hold of his imagination of law to prove the substance of a mirage. For the up tenth time: a notice of appeal doesn't mean automatic stay. Uche Ogah is governor elect by virtue of lnec's certificate of return and Ikpeazu can only regain that seat through the process of appeal.

The law must take its course. Though Ikpeazu should have approached the same court for a stay of execution pending the outcome of his appeal at the Appellate Court.

I don't think an Abia High Court can override the order of FHC Abuja.

I have to admit that Ikpeazu is on a very thin rope
Most guys commenting are naive and don't know this. The appeal at the Appellate Court and stay of execution would have restrained INEC from issuing a certificate of return to Orga. The learned colleague representing Ikpeazu erred abinitio.

The same man you quoted said he was not aware if Ikpeazu filed a stay of execution which is an injunction obtained ex parts from the same court that gave the judgement.

Ugah filled a case agaisnt ikpeazu on grounds of tax evasion, a fed high court delivered a verdict in favour of ogah be sworn in ikpeazu Appealed on that case. Now the judgement delivered by the high court in abia state is a fresh case so Ogah can appeal chikina!!

Nonsense both you and the useless APC lawyer Falana can go to hell.There is a notice of appeal and a valid court order keeping Ikpeazu in office

The Abia state CJ is also law abiding and will not disobey a valid court order.
Mr nwaIgbo does Abia State high court have more jurisdictions than FHC that gave INEC order, The Abia State that notify appeal and stay of execution is a court of " Coordinate Jurisdiction"

The Mrs CJ in Abia State is joking with her Job by putting Politicians b4 the law.

So long an igbo man comment on any political matter those view are always supporting 1. Corruption 2. GEJ past Administration 3. Biafra Seccesion 4. The fall of PMB Administration

please if you want to leave Nigeria please go.
Call for Referendum and let 5 states in South East vote.
No state from South - South is Part of Biafra remember.

sometime I wonder what you stand for.What happened to the 21 days window for appeal and stay of execution.Why the hurry for INEC to issue certificate of return to Uche ogah.Who told you an appeal can't hurt a case.All the election nullified by tribunal and subsequent appeal.Why didn't INEC hurriedly offer certificate of return to the index case.
Any constitutional analysis from Femi Falana and Agbakoba should not be taking serious cos they are APC programme lawyers.Wait for Mike Ozokheome,he has always made a valid and acceptable opinion that stand the test of time.

Ikpeazu Should Have Approach FHC Abuja that gave the earlier Rulling & Not Abia State high court .

The Abia state high Court that Rule on "Notification of Appeal & Stay of Execution " Is a Court of Coordinates Jurisdictions

Thank you my brother. You have said it all. Ikpeazu's lawyers were not sharp or smart enough.

In the eyes of the law, the order from the Abia state High court is a kangaro otder and cant over ride that of the Federal High court Abuja.

On a second thought, Ikpeazu lawyers would have approached the Federal High court Owerri, Imo state or FHC Port Harcourt to secure shsrply a stay of execution.

For the fact that his Appeal does not contain a stay of execution, i join you to say that Ikpeazu is hanging on a thin rope.

I bet you that by monday inspite of the public holiday he declared in the state, he will be forced to vacate office.

Thete are much plans to withdraw all his security details then file a suit of forgery against him. His case will go for accelerated hearing and he will be convicted thereby rendering his Appeal useless.
there was no need going to owerri or port Harcourt, there's a federal high court in umuahia, we would have just utilized that

Falana is even worse than a zombie.The man who said a governor covered with immunity can be arrested and prosecuted because they are not in good terms.

That man has lost his senses since he joined the APC.

Apc is allowing pdp to destroy itself . Allow the members to fight each other. Now 2 factions of pdd are contending for the governorship seat,apc may allow the problem to be continue until there is a breakdown of order in abia and then impose a state of emergency,or better still just watch until one faction finishes off the other

So Austin Aleghe is an authority because he's NBA president? Lolz, well, olisa agbakoba was a former NBA president as well and femi Falana is a senior advocate of Nigeria! Come to think of it, A federal high court issued a judgement, then ikpeazu went to Abia state high court to get an injunction against a judgment from the federal high court? Common, you don't need to be a law student to know that there's hierarchy in the law courts! Federal high court is clearly superior to a state high court, the normal thing was for ikpeazu to have also gone to a federal high court to get a stay of execution of the ogah judgement! Don't let your emotions derail your sense of judgement sir

Ikpeazu is just buying time but must leave dat seat for ogah.

bro, everything is wrong with your comment.
First n foremost The Electoral Act is for election tribunals.

A stay of execution is not automatic once an appeals is filed...it's only in Criminal Cases with respect to Capital punishments. See Aliyu Bello V state

The osisioma court is a kangaroo court here, there decision here is persuasive and not compelling.
