The Labour Party has reacted to the pronouncement of a
Federal High Court sitting in Kano nullifying the election of the Abia State
Governor-elect, Dr Alex Otti.
The court presided over by Justice M N Yunusa, nullified the
elections of Otti and all the candidates of the Labour Party in Abia State.
According to the court, the emergence of Otti and other
affected candidates was not in compliance with the provisions of the 2022
Electoral Act.
However, when contacted, the Labour Party Chairman in Abia
State, Hon. Ceekay Igara, said the court’s “pronouncement is laughable”.
According to him, the decision of the court would have no
significance in the coming inauguration of the governor-elect.
Igara told correspondent that only the election tribunal is
bequeathed the power to sack a democratically elected person.
He said, “That court pronouncement is laughable. Everybody
should go about their normal activities. It is only the tribunal that can
remove Alex Otti.
“It is not just a court that will remove someone who was
duly elected. Infact I am going to gear up activities for the inauguration”.
