The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected the judgement by the Abia State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal which affirmed the election of Alex Otti as the governor of the state.
PREMIUM TIMES reported that a three-member panel of judges headed by Justice H.T.D Gwadah, on Friday, dismissed a petition by the governorship candidate of the PDP, Okey Ahiwe, for lack of merit.
The tribunal held that the contention by Mr Ahiwe and the PDP over the qualification of Mr Otti to contest in the governorship poll in the state was a pre-election matter and that the court lacked jurisdiction to entertain it.
