Theodore Orji
Appeal Court in Port Harcourt has declared Theodore Orji of the Progressive Peoples Alliance (PPA) as the bona fide Governor of Abia State.
The court dismissed the petitions filed by Onyema Ugochukwu, of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and other contenders who challenged the inauguration of Orji on May 29, 2007, because of the cases of electoral fraud reported during the gubernatorial elections of April 14, 2007.
Orji who returned to Umuahia on Tuesday after a three-day working visit to Abuja said he knew that he would win the court case. Most people in Abia State hailed the verdict.
