The Abia State Election Petition Tribunal, sitting in Umuahia, the state capital, has fixed October 6, 2023, to deliver judgment on the petition challenging the victory of the state governor, Alex Otti, as the winner of the March 18 gubernatorial election in the state.
Recall that the governorship candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Ikechi Emenike, had approached the Court to seek the sack of Otti over allegations of non-resignation of his membership before joining the Labour Party (LP).
He also alleged that Otti’s name was not in the LP register before he was nominated as the party’s governorship candidate.
Candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Okey Ahaiwe, the Young Progressives Party (YPP), Nana Nwafor and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) also joined in the petition against Otti.
This online medium reports that Otti’s led counsel, Abiodun Owolekoko (SAN), on Tuesday, said his team was optimistic that the tribunal judgment would favour his client.
