Onyia said:
“We are not surprised that APGA members are celebrating the Justice Ekwo judgment like a child that received Christmas clothes from his father. They believe that the judgment will stop Andy Uba from proving his petition at the tribunal. The good thing is that this is not the last court in this instance. We are heading to the Appeal Court to prove them wrong.”
“We, therefore, urge the APGA-led government of Anambra State to keep herself busy with challenges facing the state rather than investing in ‘Operation Stop Andy Uba’ dance.”
However, he urged the APC supporters to remain calm.
Meanwhile, there was heavy security around the premises of the Abia state high court in Umuahia on Friday morning, December 10 as hearing resumed on the suit filed by the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu against the federal government.
Kanu had through his counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, filed a N5 billion suit against his repatriation from Kenya, while contesting the legality of his prosecution by the federal government.
The IPOB leader, among other things, demanded that the court should declare his trial illegal and that he be taken back to Kenya from where he was repatriated.
Kanu also demanded that the Nigerian Army, Nigeria Police Force, and the Department of State Services be stopped from harassing or arresting him.
