Otu’s challenger and an APC governorship aspirant in the state, Owan Enoh, had after the primary in May approached the court seeking to disqualify Otu as the APC’s governorship candidate for the 2023 general elections.

Ojukwu in her ruling said, “That a candidate contesting for the position of governor must be a Nigerian, meet the stipulated age requirement, and have basic qualifications according to the constitution.”
