Supreme Court verdict: Otti resolves to give Abians good governance

From Okey Sampson, Umuahia

Governor Alex Otti of Abia State has expressed his resolve to give Abia people good governance.

Governor Otti who made the resolve while speaking in Umuahia after the reaffirmation of his victory by the Supreme court, on Friday, said he was determined to restore the dignity of the Abia man.

Otti said his desire was to ensure that Abia is reckoned with positively in the league of states in Nigeria.

He thanked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for remaining firm in his resolve that the judiciary should be independent, noting that his non intervention in the judiciary has brought about positive results in the country.

“I want to thank His Excellency, the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu for remaining firm to the resolve that the judiciary should be independent.

“If he did not do that, perhaps, some of the judgements and verdicts that were given today may have been different.

“I want to encourage him to continue in that light. I believe that his non intervention in the judiciary has produced positive results in the country today.

“A few places where people were getting ready to burn down places today has sheathed their swords because the rule of law prevailed,” Governor Otti noted.

The Governor equally applauded the judiciary for remaining firm by not allowing the people’s will to be truncated by desperate politicians, maintaining that by so doing, it has proved that it is indeed the last hope of the common man.

He thanked all the Governorship Candidates especially those that did not go to court for being supportive as well as annointed men of God for their prayers.

He used the medium to invite his opponents to sheath their swords and come up with ideas that will bring about positive development to the state.
