The Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate in the last governorship election in Abia State, Okechukwu Ahiwe seeking to sack Labour Party’s Alex Otti as the Governor of Abia State.
In a judgment a moment ago, the apex court held that the appeal was unmeritorious and proceeded to dismiss it.
Justice Uwani Abba-Aji, who read the lead judgment held that the appellants (Ahiwe and the PDP) failed to prove their case that Otti was not qualified to contest the election and that the election was marred by substantial non-complaint.
The court is currently delivering its judgment another appeal filed by the APC and its candidate, Ikechi Emenike against Otti’s election.
