Ebonyi: Issue Certificates of Return to Igariwe, Udogwu Now, PDP Charges INEC

Published

on

 

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) charges the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to immediately and without any further delay, issue Certificates of Return to Hon. Iduma Igariwe and Fred Udogwu as Governor and Deputy Governor of Ebonyi State respectively.

This is in furtherance of the Order of the Federal High Court issued in Abuja today, Monday, March 21, 2022 refusing to grant Stay of Execution to the former Governor of Ebonyi State, Engr. David Nweze Umahi and his Deputy, Kelechi Igwe over their removal from office by the Court.

I Will Start Fighting Corruption From The Presidential Villa If I Become President-Moghalu

INEC, pursuant to the provision of Section 287(3) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) which provides that “the decisions of the Federal High Court, National Industrial Court, a High Court and of all other courts established by this Constitution shall be enforced in any part of the Federation by all authorities and persons, and by other courts of law with subordinate jurisdiction to that of the Federal High Court, National Industrial Court, a High Court and those other courts, respectively” is bound to issue Certificates of Return immediately to Hon. Iduma Igariwe and Fred Udogwu as Governor and Deputy Governor of Ebonyi State respectively.

In this regard, the PDP also demands that the Chief Judge of Ebonyi State, upon the issuance of Certificates of Return by INEC proceed to swear in Hon. Iduma Igariwe and Fred Udogwu as Governor and Deputy Governor of Ebonyi State respectively.

This is absolutely necessary to prevent the existence of vacuum in the government and governance of Ebonyi State as Messers Umahi and Igwe can no longer exercise the functions of the office of Governor and Deputy Governor of Ebonyi State pursuant to the Order of the Federal High Court which removed them from office on March 8, 2022 and the subsequent Order of the Federal High Court today, which refused their application for Stay of Execution.

The PDP commends the judiciary for its courage in defending the Constitution as well as the will of the people of Ebonyi State as expressed in their votes for the PDP in the 2019 governorship election.

Our Party also congratulates the people of Ebonyi State for the restoration of their mandate and urged them to remain united under the PDP as we forge ahead in our mission to Rescue and Rebuild our country from the rudderless APC administration.

On Saturday, the Kabir Abubakar Bichi Foundation, under the chairmanship of Dr. Habibu Usman Abdu, inaugurated the support of a 20 thousand Naira stipend each to students who are indigenes of Bichi. The event was held at FCE T Bichi.

It’s a tradition maintained by Rep Abubakar Kabir Abubakar to support indigent students from Bichi when they return to boarding school during every term and after vacation.

In his remarks during the occasion, Rep Abubakar Kabir Abubakar urged the students to dedicate themselves to their studies and pledged to continue helping them.

Abubakar Kabir Abubakar said very soon he will renovate 8 secondary schools in his constituency and pledged to sponsor indigenes of the area, mostly women, to Egypt and Saudi Arabia for their tertiary education.

“Our aim is to ensure we get more engineers and doctors, and the renovation of the schools is to make sure students and pupils are not sitting on the floor. We don’t want to see any roof wiped out from classes, and the hostels renovated because the dignity of students is to make sure they sleep comfortably,” said Rep Bichi.

Rep Bichi said the federal government has also allocated over 1.5 billion for the renovation of Dawakin Tofa Science College and GSS Bichi will also be renovated. He noted that Dan Cin Cin Secondary School is also included.

Rep Bichi added that Hagagawa Primary School will be reconstructed in such a way that it will compete with all the private schools where sons of politicians are attending. He noted that six more primary schools will also be renovated, including Chiranchi and Sabonlayi. “We don’t want to play politics with education; that is why we are inviting all and sundry to come and help us in uplifting education in the state,” he said.

According to him, apart from 106 teachers manning schools in the area, they have employed 200 more teachers in Bichi, and their screening will soon start. “We are doing this because we have a scarcity of teachers,” he added.

He also thanked members of the committee for the disbursement of scholarships and their dedication to education.

The conglomeration of students, which included both male and female, thanked Rep Abubakar Kabir Abubakar for the gesture.
