The governorship ‘candidate’ on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2023 election in Ebonyi State, Ifeanyi Odii, has accused the factional governorship ‘candidate’ of the party and Senator representing Ebonyi Central Senatorial zone, Obinna Ogba, of flouting sacred orders of the Court of competent jurisdiction.
Odii stated this in a statement signed by the Director of Media and Publicity, Anyichucks (Odii) Campaign Organisation, Chief Abia Onyike, on Friday, in Abakaliki.
Odii wondered why Ogba had allegedly refused to show some restraint and maturity by respecting the democratic processes and stop taking laws into his own hands.
Ogba and Odii had been enmeshed in a tussle over who was the authentic governorship flagbearer of the PDP in Ebonyi State for the 2023 general election. But a Federal High Court sitting in Abakaliki, on June 7, 2022, declared Odii as the authentic governorship candidate of the PDP in Ebonyi State and directed the party to submit his name to the Independent National Electoral Commission. Ogba has appealed the judgement.

But Odii, in the statement, on Friday, noted that Ogba’s conduct despite the Federal High Court order, was not only sacrilegious but also an act of contemptuous effrontery against the judicial authorities.
According to him, Ogba has continued to parade himself as the PDP governorship candidate for Ebonyi State, advertising his Certificate of Return which the Court had nullified.
