Ikpeazu still governor abia court says otherwise oyc warns igbo elders
It seems like there's a developing story here!
From what I gather, the Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, has been embroiled in a controversy surrounding his eligibility to continue as governor. The controversy stems from a court ruling that has declared him unfit to hold public office due to alleged certificate forgery.
However, it appears that Ikpeazu is not taking the court's decision lying down. According to reports, he has filed an appeal against the ruling, seeking to overturn the decision.
Meanwhile, the Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC), a youth wing of the Igbo apex socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has waded into the controversy. The OYC has warned Igbo elders to desist from supporting Ikpeazu's bid to remain in office, citing the court's ruling as a clear indication that he is no longer fit to govern.
The OYC's warning is likely a response to reports that some Igbo elders are secretly backing Ikpeazu's appeal, despite the court's ruling. The OYC is urging these elders to respect the rule of law and not undermine the judiciary's authority.
It's worth noting that the controversy surrounding Ikpeazu's eligibility has sparked heated debates and protests in Abia State, with many calling for his immediate removal from office. The situation remains fluid, and it will be interesting to see how it unfolds in the coming days.
What's your take on this controversy? Do you think Ikpeazu should be allowed to continue as governor, or should he step down in accordance with the court's ruling?
