Senator Mao Ohuabunwa who represented Abia North in the eight Senate, has congratulated Gov. Alex Otti over his recent victory at the Supreme Court.
He also hailed the supreme court for the judgment which he described as a final endorsement of the people’s mandate.
In the same vein, the immediate-past Chairman of the Nigeria Medical Association, NMA, Abia State chapter, Dr Chimezie Okwuonu, has congratulated the Governor for his triumph at the court.
Sen. Ohuabunwa who was a former Leader, ECOWAS Parliament, said the affirmation of Otti’s election by the apex court would spur him to deliver more democracy gains for the people.
” Litigations over election matters have always been a huge distraction to any elective office holder. But now that the final court in the land has ruled in favour of the Governor, he can fully focus on his vision without encumbrances again”, he said.
Senator Ohuabunwa who acknowledged the dogged fight by the Appellants, however, appealed to them to accept the verdict of the apex court in good faith and the spirit of sportsmanship.
He urged them to throw their weight behind the Governor and support his bid to develop the state for the good of all.
The former Leader of the House of Representatives, also appealed to the Governor to be magnanimous in victory, and incorporate some of the lofty ideas from his opponents to move the state forward.
He sued for peace and reconciliation, arguing that Abia will witness more transformation in all frontiers under the atmosphere of peace and brotherly love.
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, stalwart, pledged his support for Otti as the Governor strives to make Abia a better state for the good of all.
Meanwhile, the former NMA boss in his own message commended Otti for his achievements so far in the health sector.
He congratulated him, saying that the victory would enable him to fully concentrate on governance.
He said:”May I join the many well wishes of Abia State to congratulate the Abia State Governor Dr Alex Otti on his victory at the Apex court.
“This victory is a testament of the fact that it is your time and your turn to lead the people of Abia State and God has sealed it.
