Abia Poll: Otti Files Petition Against Ikpeazu by Mbkite(m): 7:56pm On May 16, 2015
SAN FRANCISCO, May 16, (THEWILL) –

All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) governorship candidate in Abia State, Dr Alex Otti, on Friday, filed a petition seeking the nullification of the election of Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, as the governor-elect.

Ikpeazu, the Peoples Democratic Party's (PDP) candidate was declared winner of the election.

The request was contained in a 411- page petition filed on Friday at the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Umuahia.

One of Otti's counsel, Mr Ken Ahia, who filed the petition, told newsmen that the plea was based on the grounds that the governorship poll was “marred by a lot of irregularities.”

The petitioner urged the tribunal to nullify the results from Obingwa, Osisioma, Isialangwa North and Ugwunagbo LGAs due to election malpractices in those areas.

The counsel said the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and PDP were also joined in the suit.

He said that the six-member legal team is headed by Chief Akin Olujunmi, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria. Apart from Chief Olujimi, the lead counsel, the legal team assembled by Otti is populated by five other Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SAN).

The whole council populated by SAsN. This man means business, and obviously has cash. Either ways, Okpeazu will be forced to perform like Nigige did to try and justify his seat in office.

Okezie will survive the tribunal, even if the election is cancelled and he is able to do some roads within the time he assumes office, then rerun will be a formality cos his party remains stronger than that of his opponent

The Ngige era is different. Then, there is no time limit for the tribunal. It took over 3 yrs before the election was annulled and so Ngige had time to work.

Today, the tribunal must decide within 180 days which have started running already. So what can Ikpeazu do within this few days.

Moreover, the death burden he inherited is quite enormous coupled with the fall in monthly allocation to states. Were is he going to get money to performe Ngige way?

I have reason to believe that T.A Orji is more dangerous than Emeka Offor and Andy Uba combined. So the yoke on Ikpeazu neck is likely much more heavy than that of Ngige.

Finally, Ikpeazu is not an intellectual like Ngige. The House of Assembly (I was told) has APGA in the majority.

I submit that both Ikpeazu and Orji will be boothed out this year.

Otti will laugh last and he who laughs last.....

You are approaching the issue as a pro otti that why you see it that way. But let me ask what makes Ngige an intellectual that ikpeazu doesn't have.
