Dr. Sampson Uchechukwu Ogah whose Certificate of Return as the Governor of Abia State, issued by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), was nullified by the Appeal Court sitting in Abuja, on Thursday has vowed to challenge the verdict at the Supreme Court.
Ogah, through his organisation said that it still has confidence in the judiciary and believes that the Supreme Court will look into the judgment judiciously and correct the anomalies.
But, the Traditional Prime Minster of Umudiawa Kingdom, Chief Okezie Ezigbo in his reaction, said that the judiciary has proven that they are transparent.
He said; “Now that the legal battle is over, all hands must be on deck to move Abia forward, as the governor is out to deliver dividends of democracy to Abians.”
Ezigbo, who doubles as the chairman of Umuhia North LGA, said that now that the battle is over, the governor will double his efforts to ensure that he arrives at a very good result in serving Abians at very good record time”.
Meanwhile, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Enyinnaya Apollos said that Ogah has the right to appeal and that the governor is ready to meet him at Supreme Court.
“The court gave a thorough examination of the matter before delivering the judgment, the five justices unanimously agreed on that judgment. Majority of Abians are happy and rejoicing over the judgment, that is the reason why the governor said that he is reinvigorated to serve them more”, the governor’s spokesman said.
