Hmmmmmmm! What a relief that headline -ALEX OTTI DECLARED GOVERNOR- will bring to some people. Some will say justice would have been served should that ever come to pass. Come to think of it with the current debacle in Abia state and also considering the Electoral Act 2010 as amended which expunged the Amaechi vs Omehia scenario and affirmed a candidate cannot be said to have won an election unless he or she participated in all stages of election don't you think there is hope for Dr. Alex Otti?

Note the Act said candidate and not party. So if either Uche Ogah or Mr Nwosu is sworn in Alex Otti may have a chance since neither of them participated in stages of the election.

The Kogi state governorship comes to mind sInce the current governor Yahaya Bello did not participate in all stages of the election but we should note that case is still in court.

APGA as a party is already toeing this line. See statement from APGA:

Declare Alex Otti gov —APGA In another development, the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, Abia State chapter, has faulted the judgment of the Federal High Court which ordered that Ogah be sworn in as the state governor.

A statement signed by APGA state chairman, Augustine Ehiemere, decried the judgment as untenable as the Electoral Act 2010, as amended, forbade any person who did not take part in all stages of the election to be sworn in and insisted that its governorship candidate in the 2015 election, Dr. Alex Otti, remained the lawful candidate who ought to be declared governor. “APGA considers Uche Ogah’s declaration as a huge error, unacceptable to the party, untenable in Nigeria’s 2010 Electoral Act as amended, which forbids any person that did not take part in all the stages of an election from being declared winner.

Since there is no record anywhere to show that Dr. Uche Ogah won the primaries of his party, the PDP, let alone take part in all the stages of the last governorship election in Abia, his declaration as the governor by the court is strange and alien to the law. “Hence, we humbly demand that the appellate court, while upholding Ikpeazu guilty verdict, corrects this huge error by issuing the right order which is to declare the candidate who scored the highest lawful votes, the APGA candidate, Dr. Alex Otti, governor, as he did not only meet all the constitutional requirements and vote spread across the state, but even won more local governments than the sacked Okezie Ikpeazu; this is an incontrovertible fact.”

That law that made it possible for Amaechi to become governor has been amended.

Op is right, this Uche Ogah of a person may only have Sacking Of Ikpeazu as only achievement.
I prefer oti to that fraudsters called ogah.

The op has valid points and this is a front page material only if he will amend that deceptive topic/headline.
