Absence of Chief Judge Stalls Ogah's Inauguration as Abia State Governor

The inauguration of Okezie Ikpeazu, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), as the Governor of Abia State has been stalled due to the absence of the Chief Judge of the state, Theresa Uzokwe.

According to reports, the Chief Judge was supposed to administer the oath of office to Governor Ikpeazu, but she failed to show up at the inauguration ceremony, which was scheduled to hold at the Michael Okpara Square in Umuahia, the state capital.

The absence of the Chief Judge has thrown the ceremony into chaos, with officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and other stakeholders waiting for her to arrive.

The situation has also led to a delay in the swearing-in of the new governor, with sources indicating that the ceremony may be postponed to a later date.

The reason for the Chief Judge's absence is not yet clear, but it is believed that she may have been unable to attend the ceremony due to unforeseen circumstances.

The development has sparked concerns among residents of Abia State, who are eager to see the new governor take office and begin implementing his campaign promises.

The situation is being closely monitored by officials of the state government and other stakeholders, who are working to resolve the issue and ensure a smooth transition of power.
