The Abia PDP on Friday declared it's  rejection in totality of  the judgement delivered by the 3-man Abia State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal which upheld the victory of Alex Otti as the governor of Abia State following the March 18, 2023 governorship election


"We are not surprised at the judgement because all along, Alex Otti and the Labour Party carried on with all manner of subterfuge to subvert the judicial process and a few days ago, Otti and his men have been around town bragging that the petitions of the PDP and the other Party that challenged Alex Otti’s declaration as winner of the 2023 Abia governorship election would be thrown into the trash bin", the party stated in a press statement signed by it's Vice Chairman/Acting State Publicity Secretary, Hon. Elder Abraham Amah, arguing  that Alex Otti and his men already knew the outcome of the judgement, days ahead of today. 


"It is our firm belief that the justices erred in their judgement". 


 Accordingly, the Abia PDP declared that it will  appeal the judgement as a means to correct the wrongs by the election tribunal. 


"As a responsible and law abiding corporate citizen, the Abia PDP wishes to restate our democratic credentials anchored on the principles of rule of law, justice, law and order and also reaffirm our firm belief in the judiciary as one of the strongest pillars of democracy", the party stated.
