Abia Disarray, the fact.

The current Abia disarray

The Fact:
There were so many lies on his (ikpeazu) tax papers. One of the issues on hand  was that he started paying tax when he was not yet in the employment of the Abia State Government.
Further more, the serial numbers on his tax receipts shows deception. The 2013 serial number recorded the beginning of the tax payment, wherein,  the 2011 receipt showed as if it was the last payment.
The serial numbers were conflicting. The conflict showed that Ikpeazu had not paid his tax as at when due in obedience to the law.
Another problem was the issue of figures. Let us assume he was supposed to earn between N400,000 to N500,000 per annum, and on his tax papers, it was showing above N1million.
He said his tax was being deducted at source.

But the question now  is.
If that was so, why the discrepancies in his  taxable income? Is it not what he was earning, he should be taxed on? One would also wonder why the case was delayed since the law in Section 31 of the 2010 Electoral Act as amended gives a co-aspirant the opportunity to examine the documents of an opponent to validate whether he was qualified to contest for the primary election in the first place, because it is a pre-election matter. And if you find out in his disclosures and declarations that he has given a false or misleading information, the section guarantees you the right to apply to a Federal or State High Court for a redress. You also have the right to ask that that candidate be disqualified because he was not qualified in the first place to run for primaries.
Section 31(6) says if such a candidate was found to have declared false information, he is liable to be disqualified by the court.

The answers.

(1) Ikpeazu's Team and their incompetence:
Just like in the election, the fact upon which Otti has based his appeals for canceling out Ikpeazu's governorship title, in certain zones the number of accredited voters do not tally with the number of voters. The ikpeazu team has always played down on certain important issues, perhaps they have come to believe they are unbeatable.

(2) The battle over which court has jurisdiction to try the case:
Ikpeazu’s legal team came up with the issue that the court has no jurisdiction. So, it has to handled by the Supreme Court.
So, when the Supreme Court ruled that the lower court has jurisdiction to hear the case, the case was then brought to the Federal High Court again and everything started all over again.

Meanwhile Otti on the other hand, has insisted he should be given mandate as the first runner u p by election, while Uche says nothing can stop him. As the men battle for the Abia government house, the house itself is under key.
In aba a saying has been circulating "na ikpeazu, Uchechukwu ga eme " meaning that God's will at last take place. This is in connection with meanings in Uche Ugah's name and Ikpeazu's name.
