The publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress APC, in Ebonyi state, Mr Ogbuatu Chidi Simbad have described the Purported Sack of Governor David Umahi and Dr Kelechi Igwe, his Deputy by Federal high court in Abuja, as a mere distraction and effort in futility. Stating that no Court of coordinate jurisdiction can over turn the judgment of the other.
This was contained in a press release sent to Ebonyi Times Newspapers in Abakaliki by the state publicity secretary of the party, this Tuesday.
Ogbuatu vowed that no amount of distraction would deter the Governor from continuing in the transformation of the state.
He urged the APC family in the state to go their lawful business, stressing that the action is just a fruitless exercise.
Here is the full text of his Press release;
"HIGH COURT EBONYI STATE AND FEDERAL HIGH COURT, ABUJA.
*No matter the back door approach, PDP can never smell Government House, Ebonyi State, abusing a court process just to get a judgement whereas a court of same power has earlier passed/delivered judgement on same matter can never work.
"On the purported claim of the Sack
"A Federal High Court in Ebonyi State which is of same and equal jurisdiction had on Monday 28th, February passed a judgement sacking the application for the sack of on the basis of lacking merit and furtherance argued that there is no provision in the constitution that provides for defection as one of the grounds for the vacation or removal of a person as Governor or as Deputy Governor.
"He cited certain judicial pronouncements on similar matters especially at Appellant Courts, leading to his victory in the Abakaliki Division of High Court on Monday 28th February, 2022.
"If not the purpose of distraction, has PDP got any other thing to gain? Absolutely NO.
Instead of wailing , they should go and appeal the earlier judgement as delivered on 28th February ,2022 by Justice Henry Njoku of Abakaliki Federal High Court.
It is no doubt that the rising profile of His Excellency, Engr Chief David Nweze Umahi Fnse, fnate is intimidating the PDP Ebonyi State, APC is Ebonyi and Ebonyi State is APC and as such we refuse to be distracted.
"I call on all members and supporters of All Progressives Congress APC, Ebonyi State to go about their normal business unperturbed as this distraction called Abuja Judgement cannot see the light of the day thus it is an abuse of court process.
"GOD BLESS ENGR DAVID NWEZE UMAHI
GOD BLESS EBONYI STATE
GOD BLESS FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA".
