Following the political logjam currently
ravaging Abia State, the senate has thrown its
weight behind the embattled Governor, Okezie
Ipkeazu.
Recall that Uche Ogah, a fellow contender in
PDP Governorship primary in the State had in
a suit he filed before an Abuja Federal High
Court, challenged the emergence of Ikpeazu as
the party’s flag bearer in the 2014
governorship election.
He accused the embattled governor of
submitting false tax document to the party
during the said election.
The Justice Okon Abang-led court had on June
27, 2016 invalidated Ikpeazu’s election while
ordering the Independent Electoral
Commission, INEC, to issue Ogah with
certificate of return, which was done.
Ikpeazu, however, filed for stay of execution in
a bid to stop INEC from going ahead with the
court order but Justice Abang refused to
entertain the suit.
But speaking during a condolence visit to
Ikpeazu at the Government House in Umuahia,
the state capital, senator representing Ekiti
South, Senator Biodun Olujimi expressed
support for the embattled governor over the
political logjam in the state, stressing that the
senate was solidly behind him.
The senator was in the state on behalf of the
senate to commensurate with the governor
over the death of former Foreign Affairs
Minister, Chief Ojo Maduekwe and Senator
Onyeka Okoroafo.
Olujimi said, “The authentic and indomitable
Governor of Abia State, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, we
are here with the consent of the Senate
President and Chairman of the National
Assembly, Distinguished Senator, Dr Bukola
Saraki, and on behalf of the Senate of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria, to condole with
you and the entire people of Abia State in
these trying times.
“First, over the political situation in Abia, and
over the death of your illustrious sons, Chief
Ojo Maduekwe and Senator Onyeka Okoroafo.
“The Senate is solidly behind you in these
trying times. You have our support as the
governor of the state, we are elected to make
laws as lawmakers and it is our duty to ensure
that our laws are not abused. We are aware of
the political situation in Abia, rest assured that
the Senate is with you.” http://dailypost.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e5451bceb04107d8523f8edac&id=30bba7bc2a&e=420b4d828c

Na so......no amount of intimidation wil change D status quo.

Has Nigerian senate become the court of the land?
why not wait for count of appeal to address that, better still the supreme court ?
Or was it not the same court that declared him winner when he was taken to court after the election.?
Senate leave judicial job for court to do pls.
