The Supreme Court has affirmed the election of Alex Otti as the duly Governor of Abia State.
This was following the lead judgement delivered by Justice Uwani Abba-Aji of the apex court.
In the judgement, the court ruled that the nomination of Alex Otti by the Labour Party (LP) as its candidate was purely a political party affair, therefore, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) did not have the right to question such decision.
