Sir Friday Nwosu, a PDP governorship aspirant in Abia State who filed an
\nappeal against the June 27th judgment of Justice Okon Abang which declared
\nDr. Uche Ogah as governor; has said he will appeal to the Supreme Court
\nover the verdict of the Appeal Court panel which dismissed his suit
\nagainst Ogah and affirmed Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, as governor.<\/p>\n
He lamented that the Justice Helen Ogunwumiju led five man panel ignored
\nthe major grounds of his suit against Ogah and occasioned a miscarriage of
\njustice.<\/p>\n
Nwosu who further accused the Appeal court of not considering the
\ndocuments placed before them,insisted that Ogah\u2019s suit is an abuse of
\ncourt process and ought to have been dismissed as it was pursued contrary
\nto the rules and order of the Federal High Court.<\/p>\n
The PDP chieftain also condemned the verdict affirming Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu
\nas governor, stressing that the appeal court erred in ignoring the obvious
\nfalse information and discrepancies in his tax document where he lied on
\noath.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cI have already briefed my lawyers to appeal to the Supreme
\nCourt. The verdict of the Appeal Court can\u2019t stand judicial scrutiny. On
\nDr. Okezie Ikpeazu, the Appeal court ignored the obvious false information
\nand discrepancies in his tax document. This is not acceptable in law. The
\nmere fact that he is not the maker of the document does not mean that it
\nwas not forged; he did supply false information and lied on oath.<\/p>\n
“Uche Ogah\u2019s suit is incompetent and an abuse of court process unless the
\nCourt of Appeal in Abuja is trying to say that they have changed the law
\ncontrary to the position of the Supreme Court in several decided similar
\ncases. Ogah has no lawful claim to the governorship seat. His suit is
\nincompetent because it failed to comply with the rules and order of the
\nFederal High Court which gave him time to serve me. Even when that
\nhappened, Ogah failed to apply for extension of time to regularize the
\nprocess which had become incompetent. He also converted the documents I
\nserved on him as a respondent in my suit to file his own suit. I have
\nchallenged him in court to bring the receipts and certified true copies of
\nhis document. Up till today, he has failed to provide them. No court can
\nclose its eyes to these obvious abuses; yet, the Appeal Court overlooked
\nthis abnormally. How can the Court give a judgment in his favour under
\nthis circumstance?<\/p>\n
“While appearing as a respondent in the suit I filed, Ogah secretly went
\nand instituted another suit in the same subject in Abuja. Ogah petitioned
\nthe party that only people from neighbouring states voted in the primaries
\nwhile authentic PDP delegates were locked out of the venue. He abandoned
\nand waived his right to take any benefit of the process through his own
\nhandwriting and signature that there was no primary held. So, is the
\nAppeal Court saying that any aggrieved person can be irresponsible in his
\nstatements and conducts? The Appeal Court is wrong to have ignored these
\nsalient facts. Nobody should be allowed to claim any right under an
\nabusive process from the court.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
