ABIA GOV TUSSLE: I WILL APPEAL TO SUPREME COURT

Sir Friday Nwosu, a PDP governorship aspirant in Abia State who filed an

appeal against the June 27th judgment of Justice Okon Abang which declared

Dr. Uche Ogah as governor; has said he will appeal to the Supreme Court

over the verdict of the Appeal Court panel which dismissed his suit

against Ogah and affirmed Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, as governor.

He lamented that the Justice Helen Ogunwumiju led five man panel ignored

the major grounds of his suit against Ogah and occasioned a miscarriage of

justice. Nwosu who further accused the Appeal court of not considering the

documents placed before them,insisted that Ogah's suit is an abuse of

court process and ought to have been dismissed as it was pursued contrary

to the rules and order of the Federal High Court. The PDP chieftain also condemned the verdict affirming Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu

as governor, stressing that the appeal court erred in ignoring the obvious

false information and discrepancies in his tax document where he lied on

oath. He said, “I have already briefed my lawyers to appeal to the Supreme

Court. The verdict of the Appeal Court can't stand judicial scrutiny. On

Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, the Appeal court ignored the obvious false information

and discrepancies in his tax document. This is not acceptable in law. The

mere fact that he is not the maker of the document does not mean that it

was not forged; he did supply false information and lied on oath.

“Uche Ogah's suit is incompetent and an abuse of court process unless the

Court of Appeal in Abuja is trying to say that they have changed the law

contrary to the position of the Supreme Court in several decided similar

cases. Ogah has no lawful claim to the governorship seat. His suit is

incompetent because it failed to comply with the rules and order of the

Federal High Court which gave him time to serve me. Even when that

happened, Ogah failed to apply for extension of time to regularize the

process which had become incompetent. He also converted the documents I

served on him as a respondent in my suit to file his own suit. I have

challenged him in court to bring the receipts and certified true copies of

his document. Up till today, he has failed to provide them. No court can

close its eyes to these obvious abuses; yet, the Appeal Court overlooked

this abnormally. How can the Court give a judgment in his favour under

this circumstance? “While appearing as a respondent in the suit I filed, Ogah secretly went

and instituted another suit in the same subject in Abuja. Ogah petitioned

the party that only people from neighbouring states voted in the primaries

while authentic PDP delegates were locked out of the venue. He abandoned

and waived his right to take any benefit of the process through his own

handwriting and signature that there was no primary held. So, is the

Appeal Court saying that any aggrieved person can be irresponsible in his

statements and conducts? The Appeal Court is wrong to have ignored these

salient facts. Nobody should be allowed to claim any right under an

abusive process from the court.” The post ABIA GOV TUSSLE: I WILL APPEAL TO SUPREME COURT appeared first on Pointblank News .
