We, the Supreme Council of Ukwa-Ngwa Youths after keen observation, in-depth analysis and consultations on the purported and barbaric judgment of the Federal High Court, Abuja presided by Justice Okon Abang on the Abia State Governorship categorically state as follows:
1. That the Council condemns the said judgment in its entirety and calls for immediate probe by the office of the Chief Justice of the Federation and the National Judicial Council on the judgment and person of Justice Abang.
2. That the Council also frown at the hurry issuance of Certificate of Return to Mr. Ogah by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on the 30th of June 2016, having acknowledged the receipt of motion for stay of execution and notice of appeal filed by Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu on the 28th of June 2016. This is a clear case of judicial rape on the democracy of Nigeria, an act we shall vehemently resist by whatever means possible.
3. That it is a glaring fact that Mr. Uche Ogah Abnitio did not accept the outcome of the PDP Governorship primaries hence he staged a walk out, therefore, cannot benefit from the process he discredited and by implication, did not participate.
4. That we unequivocally affirm our stance on the popular ABIA CHARTER OF EQUITY AND PDP’S ZONING FORMULA which provide that the governorship seat shall rotate among the three senatorial districts of Abia North, Abia Central and Abia South which Abia North where Uche Ogah hails from have taken slot for the governorship of the state from 1999 to 2007.
5. That the Council state in clear terms that the security and safety of oil and gas facilities, staff of the operational joint venture companies in Ukwa-Ngwa Nation can no longer be guaranteed if issues raised here-in are not redressed in consonance with the rule of law and diligent due process.

6. That it is on record that the Ukwa-Ngwa nation has been the most peaceful oil producing area in Nigeria therefore, our peaceful and diplomatic disposition should not be taken for granted as we call on forces behind orchestrated plot to set Abia the God’s Own State ablaze to desist henceforth and give peace a chance.
7. That the Aba ancient and modern commercial city and oil wells that brought Abia State into the oil map of Nigeria belong to the Ukwa-Ngwa Nation and we have been living together in peace with all, therefore, abhor rancor and bitterness hence we call on President Mohammadu Buhari to as a matter of urgency wade in and nip in the bud the brewing crisis in Abia State.
8. That the Supreme Council of Ukwa-Ngwa Youths unanimously pass a vote of confidence on Dr. Okezie Victor Ikepazu as the Abia State governor and assure him of unalloyed and unflinching support. His mandate, as freely given is one thing we are ready to defend with the last drop of our blood.
