THE lingering governorship crisis in Abia State took another dimension with a lawsuit asking the Federal High Court to stop the monthly revenue allocation to the state from the federation account pending the time a valid and lawfully recognised governor assumes office.

The suit filed by an Abuja-based legal practitio­ner, Darlington Ozurumba and marked FHC/ABJ/ CS/483/2016 listed the Honourable Minister of Finance, Accountant –General of the Federation, Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Com­mission and the Attorney-General of the Federation as the defendants.

The plaintiff who posed four questions for de­termination by the court is also seeking an order restraining the defendants either by themselves, officials, agents, servants or by whatsoever name called, from making further releases of the month­ly allocation from the federation accounts to Abia State pending the time a valid and lawful recog­nized governor takes charge in the state.

In addition, the plaintiff asked the court for an order of injunction restraining any person from pre­senting himself for the release of funds or revenue from the federation accounts to Abia State pending the time a valid and lawfully recognized governor is the Sate.

In an 18-paragraph affidavit in support of the originating summon, the plaintiff averred that there is a valid judgment of the Federal High Court Abuja that sacked Governor Ikpeazu from office.
