My victory triumph of rule of law – Ogah

Mr Uche Ogah yesterday said his declaration as Abia governor by a Federal High Court is a testimony of the supremacy of the rule of law.
Speaking in Abuja, Ogah’s Special Adviser on Public Communications, Monday Onyekachi, said the court acted within its powers.
He urged the people of the state to support Ogah’s development agenda, saying he would do his best to ensure peaceful coexistence in the state.
He also dismissed the injunction granted Governor Ikpeazu stopping Ogah’s swearing in, saying the failure or delay to swear him in as governor of Abia State is an affront to the rule of law and constitutional governance in a true democracy, and an act that is capable of undermining the peace and stability of the state.
He said Ikpeazu has been “duly removed as Abia State governor by the court and no amount of legal shenanigans and illegal public holidays will derail the law”.
“Ogah will be sworn-in in due course so as to avoid the dangerous power vacuum that currently exists in Abia State, and for him to begin the urgent task of empowering Abians with his laudable developmental programmes already lined up,” he said.
