The decision of the Federal High Court in Abuja which sacked Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia state for allegedly submitting false information to his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, ahead of the party’s governorship primary in December 2014 has generated mixed reactions from Nigerians.
Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday, June 27, asked the Independent National Electoral Commission of Nigeria to cede the certificate of return to the opponent of Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia state as he was never qualified to run for the party primaries in the People’s Democratic party as a guber candidate.
The judge also ordered the Chief Judge of the state to swear in, Uche Ogah, his opponent in the December 2014 gubernatorial election in state as the substantive governor of Abia state.
However, the verdict that sacked Ikpeazu has generated a heated debate on Nigeria ‘s political scene with some commentators suggesting the sack was orchestrated by the Buhari led administration to high-jack a PDP state through the back door.
But others were of the view that the sack of the governor was an indication that the Judiciary has been sanitized, and described it as a welcomed development. Read reactions below form Nigerians about the verdict:

Injustices anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Austino Chuks: “And the sick Buhari who has ear problem with a fake certificate and has a criminal as a wife who cannot visit USA coz of her involvement in Halibottin scandal is still the your president and your mentor Umar Haruna.”
