The Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Umuahia, Abia State, on Friday dismissed the petition of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against Governor Alex Otti and the Labour Party (LP).
The tribunal, presided over by Hon. Justice H. T. D. Gwadah said that the petitioners, the PDP and others, “failed in their three grounds and their petitions dismissed for lack of merit.”
The three grounds included non-qualification of Otti to contest the governorship election, non-membership of the LP and provision of authentic National Youth Service Corps certificate and inability to prove corrupt practices.
