Abia State governorship crisis turned dramatic yesterday as two divisions of the same court gave conflicting orders on the fate of the embattled Governor Okezie Ikpeazu. While a Federal High Court Abuja which had on June 27 sacked the governor from office held that he remained sacked until a higher court decides otherwise, another Federal High Court sitting in Owerri, Imo state ruled that Ikpeazu was validly elected and he therefore remains the governor. Interestingly, both courts relied on the same tax receipts presented before them by Governor Ikpeazu which was alleged to have been forged.
