President Muhammadu Buhari is awaiting legal advice from the Attorney General of the Federation, Mallam Abubakar Malami (SAN) on the Governorship tussle in Abia State. Malami is cutting short his trip to Saudi Arabia for lesser Hajj and may return to the country tomorrow in connection with the development.
In the meantime, the President has ordered security agencies to ensure that there is no breakdown of law and order with three persons now laying claim to the Governorship seat.
Dr. Uche Ogah who was issued a certificate of return by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on the order of a Federal High Court, Abuja for the purpose of assuming office as governor has described the refusal of Chief Judge Theresa Uzoukwu to swear him in as an affront on the rule of law.
