A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the Governor of Abia State,
Okezie Ikpeazu, to vacate office immediately for submitting false
information to his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, for the party’s
governorship primary in December 2014.
Justice Okon Abang in a judgment on Monday ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to immediately issue a certificate of return to the plaintiff, Uche Ogah, who polled the second highest number of votes during the primary in 2014.
The judge said that Ikpeazu was guilty of tax evasion, and therefore, was not qualified to contest in the 2015 governorship elections.
