The court based its decision on the grounds that Otti’s emergence and the candidacy of other affected individuals did not adhere to the provisions outlined in the 2022 Electoral Act.
In response to the court’s ruling, Hon. Ceekay Igara, the Chairman of the Labour Party in Abia State, dismissed the decision as “laughable.”
Igara asserted that the court’s pronouncement would bear no significance in the forthcoming inauguration of the Governor-elect.
He emphasised that only an election tribunal can remove a democratically elected individual from office.
In his statement, Igara expressed, “The court’s pronouncement is laughable. Everyone should continue with their regular activities. Only the tribunal can remove Alex Otti.
