OUR MANDATE
Otti Rejects Abia Governorship Results, Heads to
Tribunal
All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA)
Governorship Candidate in the just concluded
election in Abia, Dr Alex Otti has rejected the
governorship result announced by the
Independent National Electoral Commission,
INEC, , describing it as a rape on democracy.
He made this rejection while addressing the
press in his Campaign Office along Bank road
Umuahia, Abia state capital.
He called on the people of Abia , whom he said
that the result has thrown into mourning to
mourn no more, adding that weeping may endure
for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
He advised Abians not to resort to brigandage,
thuggery, or do the wrong thing as he believes
that two wrongs can make a right.
“I am calling on my people to remain calm and
steadfast, they should ensure that they maintain
the peace, the election has come , but is has not
gone, the battle has just started”, Otti asserted.
He assured Abians that he will stop at nothing in
ensuring that the mandate they have freely given
to him , “not as an individual, but as agent of
change, will never be stolen,adding that “evil can
never triumph over good. And if it seems that it
is triumphing, it is only momentry because good
must prevail”, Otti stated.
“We are going to challenge this charade at the
tribunal, and we are very confident that with the
wind of change in the entire country, that
Change will not be obstructed in Abia state. We
are standing on the part of justice because in
this whole process, we have remained on the
part of truth and refused to be lured into
anything wrong and because we are standing on
the part of justice, we must get justice.
I know a lot of my supporters in Abia state are
angry, if you go round the state today, it is like a
dark cloud covering the whole state. There may
be pockets of rejoicing, but those are pockets.
Ninety percent of Abians are mourning. They are
morning , not because somebody died, but
because their will had been truncated, the
mandate they had freely given, seem to have
been stolen”, Otti said.
He called on Abians to remain prayerful because
with God , all things are possible. “We are going
to be victorious and our people will be liberated.
I thank my people for coming out to express
their wishes and I am assuring them that those
wishes must be fulfilled, Otti said.
He said further that he thank God forgiving him
the opportunity to know the level of rot in the
state called Abia state, adding, “In addition to
liberating Abia people, I have also added one
more thing in my laundering lists of things to do
in Abia state, as eradicating the rot that is in this
state.
He explained that Abia people came out en mass
on the two occasions to perform their civic
responsibilities of electing their leader and their
leaders.
“You have spoken with one voice, came out to
say that you want a change which you
demonstrated in your massive votes to us , but
unfortunately, those who have held the state
down, those who have put the state in the
darkness that it has found itself today resorted
to their usual tactics of truncating the will of the
people .The reality is that you can fool some
people sometimes, but you can not fool all the
people all the time”, Otti said.
He regretted a situation , where the governor of
the state with other PDP big wigs barged into a
collation center to put undue pressure on the
REC and RO. To make them reverse an already
cancelled result of three Local Government
areas, emphasizing that the party stands on the
fact that those three local government areas still
remain cancelled.
He wondered the type of pressure that would
have been given to a professor of Medicine that
made him to change hi mind 45 minutes after
pronouncing cancellation, stating that everything
will be made open with time.
Earlier, the National Chairman of the party, Chief
Victor Umeh urged INEC to stick to its first
decision of cancelling the three local government
areas of Obingwa, Osisioma and Isialangwa
North.
He said that APGA, having won 11 , out of 24
members of the House of Assembly has the
weight if justice learning on its side.
He said that APGA has rejected the result as
announced by INEC and assured Abians that
their mandate must be retrieved from PDP.

Tribunal.
