Alex also warned the lawyer to keep his mouth shut and let the courts decide the outcome of the governorship tussle.

The group issued a statement saying ”The recent vexatious antics and vituperations of one Barrister Festus Keyamo, who asked for the swearing-in of Dr. Uche Ogar as Abia State Governor is a slap on the legal profession.

“It is nothing but a verbal diarrhoea. Is Keyamo not aware that the Governor of Abia State, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, is in the Appeal Court to challenge the decision of the Federal High Court in Abuja?

“Why do all manner of people make unguarded statements on the Abia issue just to be noticed, rewarded or just talk for talking sake?

“Festus Keyamo should keep his mouth shut and allow the Court of Appeal at Abuja to do its job. There should be no trial on the pages of the newspaper.

“Even the AGF has made it clear that the case should be unfettered even up to the Supreme Court, if necessary.”

Mr Darlington Ozurumba, a lawyer, has filed a suit at the Federal High Court, Abuja, asking the court to stop the release of monthly Federal Allocation to Abia state until a valid Governor is recognised.
