The Court of Appeal in Lagos has dismissed the appeals brought by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) and their governorship candidates against the election of Governor Alex Otti of Abia State.

In a unanimous decision on Saturday, the three-man Appeal Court panel upheld the victory of Otti at the polls, saying that it conformed with the provisions of the Electoral Act.

The appellate court ruled that petitions brought by the appellants lacked in merit, as they were like “a comedy skit brought to a democratic setting”.

The court said issues of political party membership is a pre-election matter, which also falls within the jurisdiction of the political party.

It further said since Otti joined the Labour Party, won its primary election and submitted his name to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), he was qualified to contest.

On the issues of Bimodial Voter Accreditation System, BVAS, brought by the PDP and its candidate, the appeal court said the appellants failed to demonstrate or link their documentary evidence to the specific parts of the case.

The judgement has sparked celebration among the supporters of Governor Otti in some parts of the State.

Yeye dey smell.

Abia is not originally an APC state. I don't know what those criminals saw in Imo State and decided never to let light prevail in that state.

APC will do anything to keep Imo State in their kitty! Those people have decided never to allow that state experience good governance.

Ikpeazu told them not to go to court but they refused to hear. Ikpeazu is from Obingwa LGA, the largest LGA used for PDP rigging. But obidient movement foiled their plans this time and they gave up. Yet some people wants to waste time in the Court

Trash. You should be ashamed of the nonsense you wrote. Alex has bribed the judges. Otti must go.
