Reinstate Okezie Ikpeazu Or We will Make The State Ungovernable,
Abia Community Threatens.
The Supreme Council of Ukwa-Ngwa Youths from Abia State, has threatened to make the state ungovernable if the mandate of Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, is not restored.
In a statement signed by Kingsley Okadigbo, the National Co-ordinator, of the Supreme Council of Ukwa-Ngwa Youths, from Abia State, the group has threatened to make the state ungovernable if the mandate of embattled governor of the state, Okezie Ikpeazu, is not restored.
“The sack of Governor Ikpeazu by Justice Abang is a rape of the Ngwa man’s right. It is a clear case of judicial rape of democracy in Nigeria, an act we shall vehemently resist by whatever means possible.
No man is born violent or a militant. “The security and safety of oil and gas facilities and the staff of the operational joint venture companies in Ukwa-Ngwa nation can no longer be guaranteed, if issues raised here-in are not redressed in consonance with the rule of law and diligent due process.
“Our peaceful disposition should not be taken for granted, as we call on forces behind orchestrated plot to set Abia State ablaze to desist from doing that henceforth and give peace a chance.
“We will use the last blood of our bodies as youths of the nine LGAs out of 17 to defend the mandate freely given to him,” the group said. The group issued the threat following the decision of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to issue Governor Ikpeazu’s challenger in the December 2014 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), primaries, Dr. Uche Ogah with certificate of return.

Recall that an Abuja Federal High Court had last week sacked Ikpeazu as governor over tax-related matters. Justice Okon Abang-led court also ordered INEC to issue certificate of return to Ogah, which the electoral body complied with.
