EKO HOT BLOG reports that the governor of Abia State, Dr. Alex Otti, has denied allegations by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) that the state government is planning to embark on a protest over the expected decision of the governorship election petition tribunal sitting in the state.
In a statement issued by his Senior Special Adviser on Media, Mr. Ferdinand Ekeoma, Otti accused the PDP of fabricating the reports in an attempt to mislead the public.
He said the state government is focused on governance and has been conducting itself with decency and decorum, while the PDP has been the one constituting nuisance through its actions and utterances.
Ekeoma also accused the PDP of going around the country looking for ways to bribe judges to sway the outcome of the case.
He called on security agents to be on alert and prevent the PDP from carrying out its alleged plan to cause mayhem in the state.
Otti urged Abia residents to ignore the PDP and its agents of destruction, and to continue to go about their normal activities.
He assured them that his government is committed to ensuring the safety and security of all Abians.
