The Senior Special Assistant to the Abia State Governor on Special and General Duties, Hon George Chidozie, has hailed the ruling of the Election Petition Tribunal, uphelding the victory of Dr Alex Otti, calling on the gubernatorial candidates of the various political parties in Abia to join forces with the Governor,so as to bring the desired change.
Speaking on the Development of the Tribunal Judgement,the Governor’s Aide, Hon George Chidozie, said the judgement is a validation of the mandate Abians freely gave to Dr Alex Otti, the Governor of the state.
Hon Chidozie said so far, the Tribunal did the right thing, adding that the judges were apt in their judgement,as they were able to strike out the petition of the PDP gubernatorial candidate,Chief Okey Ahiwe.
He stated that several of their motions were dismissed for lacking merit.
“This is the right thing to do, going by the result of the March 18 governorship election, you will agree with me that this is the first time Abians will elect a leader of their choice and anything that goes contrary to that, will be a call for anarchy, disunity and chaos in Abia state”.
He stressed that Abians are peace loving people, therefore no action should threaten the existing peace,commending the Tribunal judges for delivering judgement based on merit.
The Governor’s Aide further called on the various candidates that contested with the Labour Party candidate, who went to court to seek redress in court,to see reasons with Abians and the Tribunal Judgement to step down their anger and join forces with Dr Alex Otti to bring and birth a new Abia.
