The tribunal subsequently dismissed the petition of
Alex Otti, candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
INEC has earlier declared Ikpeazu winner of the April
11 election with Alex Otti challenging the result.
Recently, the APGA had condemned Governor Ikpeazu over what it referred to as selective
demolition of alleged illegal structures in Aba town.
The party accused the Abia state governor of malice in
view of the said destruction of structures saying that the development was
vindictive and targeted at members of the party.
APGA had also in a statement in
late September lambasted the governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha, over alleged
unguarded, caustic and disparaging utterances against the party.
The party scolded the governor
for not being grateful to it having come to political limelight through it
instead of resorting to verbal attack.
