Abia Guber 2015: PDP Drops Okezie Ikpeazu for Forging PDP National Chairman Signature

Abuja (NDR) - The notorious
certificate forger has done it again
in his desperate bid to continue
stealing and bastardization in Abia
state. The news available to
Newsday reporters from the PDP
national office indicated that Gov.
T.A. Orji’s Puppet Okezie Ikpeazu
has been thrown into the dustbin
for forging the PDP national
chairman’s signature to enable him
smoothen his way into INEC as an
authentic governorship candidate of
PDP Abia State. There were several
accusations against the dirty man
Okezie Ikpeazu ragging from tax
cheat, forge educational certificate,
looting of public fund meant for
sanitation.
The grievances of the above
offences plus the public outcry of
his emergences as PDP Guber
candidate through irregularities
made the party national to ask Gov.
Orji for immediate replacement of
the fraudster. There is no doubt
that the most credible and popular
aspirant, the Abia people’s number
one choice Dr. Uche Ogah should be
asked to reclaim his mandate even
though that Ikuku the son of the
governor is pressurizing his father
to anoint Ambassador Okechukwu
Nwadiuto Emuchay who came last
during the Abia PDP Guber
Primary.
Other source from the Nation
newspaper of today indicated that a
huge haze seems to be hanging
over the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) governorship candidate in
Abia State, ahead of the general
elections.
It was learnt yesterday that there
were issues surrounding Dr. Okezie
Ikpeazu’s candidature.
Ikpeazu’s form C0028, according to
findings, was already with the
Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC). This is contrary
to information available to The
Nationthat the Form C002B, as it
relates to Abia State, was
withdrawn by the PDP national
leadership, following questions
about Ikpeazu, thereby casting
doubt on the authenticity of the
signature on the form Ikpeazu
submitted to INEC.
Form CF 002B is the INEC approved
document with which chairmen and
secretaries of parties can submit the
names of their parties’ candidates
for the governorship election.
According to a copy of the Form
C002B made available to The Nation
yesterday in Abuja, only the
signature of the PDP national
chairman, alleged to have been
forged, was appended. That of the
PDP national secretary was not
appended.
It has raised questions in some
quarters on how the document
made it to INEC without the PDP
national secretary’s endorsement.
Our findings showed that the
national leadership of the party had
dropped Ikpeazu’s name.
Although the party did not name
any replacement, The Nation learnt
that it rather asked that
stakeholders should meet the
governorship aspirants and
Governor Theodore Orji to seek a
credible replacement.
The meeting is yet to hold.
A source at the commission told The
Nationt hat “it was possible the
document did not pass through the
right channel before finding its way
to INEC.”
Fingers are being pointed at a
senior worker of the commission
from Abia State in the alleged
“smuggling in” of the Form C002B,
as the PDP national chairman was
said to be out of the country when
the form was signed and submitted.

World first as mother's womb is transplanted to daughter so she can give birth

The two mothers are among nine women to have been given womb transplants – seven of which have succeeded.


Allan Pacey of the British Fertility Society said: ‘That’s a very good success rate for a new surgical procedure. If it carries on like this, it may have a massive impact on things like surrogacy.

‘Women would much prefer to have their own baby and be pregnant than watch another woman be pregnant.’

The babies – both boys – were born a month ago in Sweden and are doing well with their mothers at home.


Henrik Hagberg, a professor in foetal medicine at King’s College London, who was at the first birth, praised the grandmothers who had hysterectomies to donate wombs to their daughters.

‘It is an absolutely extraordinary gift. It is probably the best thing you can do for your daughter,’ he said.

‘The mothers were still very much doubting whether things would really go well. You don’t take anything for granted when you have experienced all of the problems they have been through.’

The first child, who weighed 5lb 8oz, was born to a 29-year-old Swede who lacked a womb at birth.


The mother of the second boy, who weighed in at 5lb 15oz, is 34 and had her womb removed when she was treated for cancer in her 20s.


Both babies were delivered by Caesarean section around a month early. They join another history-making boy, named Vincent. Born in September as part of the Gothenburg University project, he was the first in the world to be born from a womb transplant

Greatest gift a mum can give to her daughter. Two women have given birth using wombs donated by their own mothers. The pair become the first ever to have children using the very womb that brought them into the world a generation earlier.


The breakthrough brings hope to women who want children but were born without a womb or have had it removed.
