My purported sack by Kano court doesn’t hold water – Otti

Abia Governor-elect, Dr Alex Otti, has dismissed his purported sack by a Federal High Court sitting in Kano, as baseless and of no moment.

Otti in a swift reaction, urged Abians not to panic over the said judgment, which according to him, is a “mere waste of time.”

The former banker who said arrangements for his swearing-in on May 29 were moving as planned, said enemies of the state would not be allowed to subvert the people’s will.

Speaking through his Media Aide, Ferdinand Ekeoma, the Governor-Elect said the he was not losing any sleep over the said judgment.

“It has no basis, and nobody should bother about it. If they had a case why didn’t they file it in Abia?

“Even the one they filed in Kano, they intentionally did not want to join us. The judge knows that, and did not pass any verdict on us because Otti was not joined.”

The Governor-Elect explained that similar cases had already been filed against two Labour Party House of Representatives candidates in Abia but were all dismissed even by the Supreme Court.

“The court had ruled on similar suit before the election and dismissed it. Similar suit was filled against two of our House of Representatives candidates – Obi Aguocha, and Ginger Onwusibe which was adjudicated up to the Supreme Court.

“So, when they could not file this suit again in Abia, they sneaked to Kano, and somebody may have deceived or defrauded them.

“It’s just a waste of time.”
