The  five-man panel  of the Court of Appeal sitting in Owerri has unanimously struck out the appeal filed by the governorship candidate of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), Mr. Alex Otti , on the strength of the preliminary objection by counsel to Governor Ikpeazu, Mr. Wole Olanipekun and further dismissed the entire case on merit having found the appeal unmeritorious.

It will be recalled that Otti had approached the Owerri Appellate Court to challenge  the decision of the Governorship Election  Petition Tribunal sitting  in Umuahia  which refused him extension of time to present more witnesses.

But, in their ruling, the panel found all the issues raised in the appeal against the appellant and in favour of the respondents and further described the attitude of Otti’s team of lawyers in handling of the tribunal proceedings as tardy and un-serious.
