Governorship Elections: Okowa, Ikpeazu, Bello, Ishaku Win At Supreme Court
The Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed an appeal filed by the candidate of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) in the 2019 governorship election in Abia State, Alex Otti, which sought to unseat Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Delivering a lead judgment, Justice Hamiru Sanusi held that Otti’s appeal lacked merit and was liable for dismissal.

The Owerri division of the Appeal Court had dismissed the appeal of Otti and declared Governor Ikpeazu as the validly elected.
The Appeal Court had upheld the judgment of the Election Petition Tribunal which had earlier declared Ikpeazu as the duly elected Governor of Abia State.
