shachris02: You are the one saying what you don't know, not the guy. Where on earth have you heard that 3 LGA results are cancelled ( with approximately 150,000 votes, 100% more than the winning margin ) to declare another contestant winner. The funniest thing is that one of those LGA is that of Okezie Ikpeazu ( the incumbent Abia governor ) and all the 3 LGAs are core Ngwa. . 2 Likes |

In fact, as it stand now Alex Otti shouldn't ( doesn't ) have any case against Okezie Ikpeazu because there was already a re-run on those LGA based on Otti's faction concerns. The LGA affected would vote 99% for Okezie Ikpeazu any time ( any day ) because they're 100% Ngwa, and no level of propaganda or false accusation would change that. For somebody to be pushing for those 3 LGA results to be cancelled is unthinkable and will never happen. . 2 Likes |

Emperor007:This is because there is no rule that everybody must participate in an election. Even if the election did not hold in those areas, results will still be declared. Otti’s lawyers referred to precedents, such as the case of Aregbesola vs Oyinlola, in which 10 LGAs where over-voting occurred were cancelled and Rauf Aregbesola was returned after more than 300,000 votes were invalidated; as well as the case of Agagu vs Mimiko, in which the result for wards in Ese Odo, Okitipupa and Akoko Northeast were nullified and Olusegun Mimiko was declared the winner. Other precedents include Fayemi vs Oni, in which results were also invalidated and Kayode Fayemi was returned as having scored the majority of lawful votes, and INEC vs Oshiomole, in which results for Etsako Central, Akoko Edo LGA and several wards were cancelled yet Oshiomole was declared governor. Otti’s lawyers argued that it is only when there is no winner of majority votes and with the constitutional spread that rerun can be ordered. 2 Likes |
