Abia Guber: Uwakolam urges Ogah, Otti to withdraw petitions against Ikpeazu
es Congress Uche Ogah, and that of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, , Alex Otti, to withdraw their petitions challenging the victory of Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, in the March 9 gubernatorial election conducted in the state.
Recall that DAILY POST had reported that Governor Ikpeazu of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, was declared winner of the 2019 gubernatorial election in Abia State. Ogah and Otti had since approached the Election Petition Tribunal in Umuahia, asking it to nullify the reelection of Ikpeazu as governor, on the ground that the exercise was marred by irregularities, ranging from over voting, snatching of ballot boxes and sheets, and inflation of results.
“But nevertheless, I’m saying that in the interest of Abia and its development, that the continued litigation would be a distraction that will end up in causing Abia to be less developed, just like the one we witnessed in the previous elections. In every electoral process, one person will emerge as winner. And there will be only one governor in the state.
