Mr
Uche Ogah described his success at the Federal High Court, Abuja, as a further
vindication of the confidence reposed in the nation’s judiciary as the last
hope of the common man.
Speaking
with newsmen on arrival at the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport, Owerri,
from Abuja, where he was issued a Certificate of Return on Thursday, Ogah
stated that by his eventual success, the people of Abia State would not only enjoy
more democratic dividends, but would be accorded equal opportunities in all
facets of his government.
Ogah
added, “This is a new dawn in Abia, a fresh air has come to the people. There
is joy all over the land. I assure the people of Abia State that this is the
beginning of good things for them.”
A
few hours later, however, there were reports that some suspected hoodlums had
invaded Umuahia, the Abia State capital, following information that Ogah had
arrived at the state capital and headed straight for the office of the
Department of State Services.
The
suspected thugs, who were said to be carrying sticks, were allegedly seen with
some security agencies along the Akanu Ibiam Road, leading to the Government
House.
Unconfirmed
reports, however, said Ogah might be sworn in by a Chief Judge from a
neighbouring state following the order of the Abia State High Court, stopping
the Chief Judge of Abia State from swearing in Ogah.
