GOV. ELECT DR. ALEX OTTI TO BE SWORN IN ANYTIME FROM NOW
A new spin to the Court of Appeal declaration of Dr. Alex Otti as Abia State Governor and the demand for his immediate swearing in is emerging now.
AFN reporter in Owerri gathered that the lawyers of Dr. Alex Otti are
right now in the Court of Appeal working towards obtaining a certified
copy of the judgement that nailed Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu on 31st December,
2015.
One of the lawyers of Dr. Alex Otti interviewed in Owerri this morning has this to say " We are here to get a copy of the judgement as you can see, once We get it, We are heading immediately to Umuahia for Dr. Alex Otti 's swearing in as Abia State Governor".
Our reporter further asked "Is the judgement not suppose to wait till after the supreme court decision?"
Response :-
"No, the Court of Appeal decision must be respected, the Court mandated he takes over immediately. Once We get this judgement now, We are heading to CJ Abia State for immediate swearing in, if he refuses, any senior judge can do that also. Moreover, Sen. T. A Orji was sworn in by a senior judge as governor and not the chief judge.
As at this moment, AFN have received above 100 calls demanding to know if Dr. Alex Otti will be sworn in today.
