The call by the Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, for the immediate sack of Justice Okon Abang, of the Federal High Court, Abuja, has allegedly gotten a nod from the National Judicial Council, NJC, Post-Nigeria learnt.
Fayose, in his reaction to the Appeal Court judgment, which nullified Abang’s ruling of the October 14, 2016, and declared it as a fraud, said, “it is obvious that Justice Abang is representing the interests of some cabals, hence he should be booted out, to save the nation’s Judiciary.”
In a statement issued on Wednesday, and signed by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the Governor said, “In the face of these indictments by the Appellate Court, the NJC must wade in, and save the Judiciary from Abang.
“Today again, three Justices of the Appeal Court, descended on Justice Abang, describing his judgments imposing Jimoh Ibrahim, as the Peoples Democratic Party Governorship candidate, in Ondo State, and the one affirming Senator Ali Modu-Sheriff, as the PDP National Chairman, as fraudulent.“It should be recalled that in June, a five-member panel of the Court of Appeal, led by Justice Morenike Ogunwumiju, said Abang ‘raped democracy’, when he annulled the election of Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, and ordered INEC to issue a certificate of return to Mr. Uche Ogah, without evidence of forgery against Dr. Ikpeazu. The court went on to say that Abang embarked on a wild goose chase, and that he spoke from both sides of his mouth.“These are clear indictments on Justice Abang, and in a civilised society, he ought to have resigned without the prompting of anyone. Or how can a Judge that has been adjudged severally, as giving fraudulent judgments, and acting like Father Christmas, still sit in judgment over cases involving Nigerians?
In another interview, Fayose, who backed the call for the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to postpone the Ondo election, said that was the best thing to do in the circumstance.
“The judgement shouldn’t have been otherwise, because you can’t cover the truth. I have said it ab initio, that charlatans in the PDP, are colluding with INEC, and the APC, to undermine our party.”
