Dr. Alex Otti
The Appeal Court declared winner
of the April 11, 2015 governorship election in Abia State, Alex Otti, of
the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), has condemned the spate of
violence in Aba, the state’s commercial city, describing it as
unfortunate, “particularly for a state in dire need of liberation”.
Otti alleged, in a statement, that the violence was perpetrated by
PDP supporters in protest against the Appeal Court ruling which
declared him winner of the governorship election and urged all APGA
supporters to remain calm even in the face of extreme provocation,
denial and injustice.
Also, well-meaning individuals in the state have appealed to
security operatives in the state to dismantle few road blocks
allegedly mounted by tugs.
“We totally condemn any form violence in the state . It is barbaric
and a sad development especially now that the will of the people has
triumphed after more than seven months of tortuous and needless legal
tussle against the principalities of thuggery, barefaced robbery and
high-handed impunity.”
Abia election verdict: Be calm, Otti tells supporters
