On the platform of the Labour Party (LP), the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abia State has responded to the ruling of the appellate court upholding Alex Otti’s election as the state’s legitimate governor.
The PDP described the court decision as a “eclipse of transitional sunset” in a statement signed by its vice chairman and acting publicity secretary in Abia, Abraham Amah. The statement also emphasized that the party was meeting with its candidate for governor and his running mate to discuss the verdict and determine the best course of action.
While reiterating its confidence in the judiciary as the last hope of the common man and one of the strongest pillars of our democracy, the PDP sued for calm among its party members and supporters in the face of the loss.
The PDP said Abia people have been suffering under Alex Otti’s administration and said it would never abandon them.
