Otti Gives Directive To Supporters After Sack By Kano Court

Abia Governor-elect, Dr Alex Otti, has urged Abians not to panic over his purported sack by a Federal High Court in Kano, saying there is no cause for alarm over what he described as a kangaroo judgment.

Otti who spoke with Vanguard in Abia, said arrangements for his swearing-in on May 29 were in full gear as planned, declaring that the antics of the enemies of democracy cannot truncate the will of Abians.

Similarly, 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 added 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. In fact I am going to gear up activities for the inauguration”.

GWG.ng reports that Otti who contested the governorship election on the platform of the Labour Party vanquished the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in the state that is presently run by the PDP, a victory that the Kano Court has now sought to reverse through the sack action.
