Contempt of Court - Ex-APGA Bosses, Umeh, Shinkafi May Be Jailed

Former chairman of the All Progressive Grand
Alliance, APGA, Chief Victor Umeh, and his former
national secretary, Alhaji Sani Shinkafi, may be
jailed for contempt of court as the national
chairman of the party, Chief Maxi Okwu, had this
week served the duo with Form 48.
Addressing newsmen, yesterday, in his Nkpokolo
town, Achi, in Oji Local Government Area, Enugu
State, Okwu said Form 49 would be served on
them next week should they continue to parade
themselves as national leaders against the
January 15, 2014 judgement of the Federal High
court, Abuja, that enthroned his executive as the
authentic national leadership.
Besides, Okwu hinted that Chief Willie Obiano, who
was declared as governor- elect by the
Independent National Electoral Commission in the
last governorship election in Anambra State might
not be sworn-in on March 17 following a court
order that would this week be served on the state
chief judge till the determination of a substantive
suit on "who is the real governorship candidate"
still pending in court, was dispensed with.
"We are in a law-abiding society, we are not in a
jungle. Before the tenure interpretation of
Governor Peter Obi people assumed that it would
go the other way, so let us see what happens and
I will not prejudge it.
"The matter is squarely and squarely before the
court and the court will determine it based on its
merit. If there is a court order obtained by
Obidigbo which the Chief Judge of Anambra State
is a party in the suit along with Obiano himself,
myself and the APGA, the Chief Judge and all the
parties in the suit will obey.
