Abia State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said on Wednesday that it received intelligence that the Abia State Government headed by Governor Alex Otti and the Labour Party are mobilising unsuspecting Abians to embark on a protest in the coming days to intimidate the members of the Abia Election Petition Tribunal and influence the outcome of the petition in their favour.
Abia PDP Vice Chairman/Acting State Publicity Secretary, Abraham Amah, made this known in a press release.
He said, “Our intelligence also reveals that the group has been mobilised on the alternative to cause mayhem should the judgement of the Tribunal go against the Labour Party and its candidates.
“The Abia PDP uses this medium to raise the alert levels with our vibrant and responsive security agencies in Abia State to take note of this heinous and destructive plan and advise the sponsors of the planned protest to shelve it and avoid anything that would breach the peace in Abia State.

“Abia PDP gives this forewarning because it would not fold its arms and watch anti-democratic forces intimidate the Tribunal to a predetermined outcome of the petition before it.”
The Abia PDP said in the case that security forces do not stop the alleged planned protest by agents of the Labour Party, it would be forced to mobilise its members to counter the protest.
“We call on the members of the PDP, the good people of Abia and all men of goodwill to remain vigilant in the coming days and avoid any protest that is meant to obstruct the delivery of justice not only in the Abia Election Petition Tribunal but justice in general,” the statement added.
