Supreme Court affirms election of Abia Governor, Ikpeazu

The Supreme Court has affirmed the August 18 ruling of the Appeal Court which upheld the election of Abi State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu.

A five-member panel of justices at the apex court led by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, gave the ruling on Friday.

Mr. Onnoghen faulted a ruling of the Federal High Court presided over by Justice Okon Abang which nullified the election of  Ikpeazu for tax evasion.
