Justice Okon Abang of a Federal
High Court in Abuja has ordered
the Governor of Abia State, Okezie
Ikpeazu, to vacate his office
immediately, after finding him
guilty of submitting false
information to his party, the PDP
during the party’s governorship
primary in December 2014.

Ikpeazu’s rival at the primary,
Uche Ogah, had petitioned the court
and provided evidence to show that
Ikpeazu had indeed provided false
information about himself to their
party. After listening to the
counsels of both politicians, the
presiding judge ordered INEC to
immediately issue a certificate of
return to Ogah.
