Abia State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said it will challenge the recently held governorship election in the state which produced Labour Party candidate, Alex Otti as the winner, ABN TV reports.

This comes days after the state governor appealed to candidates who lost in the governorship contest to the incoming governor and avoid going to court.

According to him, as someone who spent over three years in court defending his mandate in court in the past, he will advise losing candidates to instead the governor-elect.

This may have however fell on deaf ears as the State Working Committee, SWC and the enlarged State Executive Committee, SEC met on Tuesday and reviewed the results after collecting all the materials used in the conduct of the governorship and House of Assembly elections and decided to go to court to challenge the results.

The party in a release by Hon. Elder Abraham Amah, the state Vice Chairman/Acting State Publicity Secretary said of particular interest to them is the six local government areas where the BVAS machines were allegedly not used.

The statement read in part, "This decision is coming on the heels of of the Labour Party taking its own candidates that won elections to court despite the honest and wise advise and appeal of the Abia State governor Dr. Okezie Victor Ikpeazu that the winners of the election including the governor-elect, Alex Otti should be spared the burden of litigation which only serves to distract public officers from performing their duties and responsibilities.

"Abia PDP is shocked to note that at a time when it is making arrangements for a seamless and peaceful transition for the new government, it is the same Labour Party that was declared the winner that is trying to torpedo the process.

I trust Abians, any PDP chieftains involve will be attack. Abians have been liberated and there is absolutely nothing anyone can do to upturned it not even the judge. By the time all Abians youths, elderly and children filled the court premises the day of hearing, fear no go allow the judge do the wrong thing because he/she might not come out of the courtroom alive no matter the security presence.

They will all die and their dead bodies will be all buried in court

Nonsense people

They are wasting their time, labour party have come to stay.

In fact, they may end up being arrested for falsifying figures in the first place.

No way Abians will let this fly!.. This move is dead on arrival..

The reaction of voters and the people when the result was declared, already shows who actually won the election.
