Recall Okezie Ikpeazu, his nemesis, publicly prohibited his party,the PDP, from going to court to challenge Otti’s election in spite of the massive rigging in some LGA’s in Otti’s favour.
But Otti’s reply on nationwide TV was that Ikpeazu had “no choice”.
Today, your guess is as good as mine… whether Otti was circumspect and mature by repudiating such a goodwill. Already there are fireworks at the tribunals.
Now back to the judicial panel “for the recovery of stolen assets”.
Take a look at the caption and you will agree with me that there is nothing more to inquire about
Stealing has taken place, and it happened ” between May 2015 to May 2023″.
All the enpanelled judges are from only one side of the Abia divide.
The prime target in the inquisition is from the other side of the Abia divide.
In 2015,I was with Otti in APGA/Abia1st. His battle cry then was to”probe TA and family”.That declaration won him a lot of support, as many believed that Ikpeazu would never do so.
The cardinal principle in discussing justice is ‘a sense of balance’.
Did Otti consider this in his quest to “jail Ikpeazu”.
Power is the ability to achieve purpose. Any action or utterrance which defeats purpose is weakness.
Otti is so goaded by his vindictive passion that he keeps scoring own goals everywhere.
If by tmorrow Otti is chased out Government House, he has nobody to blame.
The worst afflictoon that could befall a man is not leprosy:it is the gift of unteachable spirit.
