Calabar residents are experiencing heightened anxiety as they await the judgment to be delivered by the Supreme Court. This judgment pertains to the petition filed by Senator Sady Onor, the gubernatorial candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), against Governor Prince Bassey Edet Otu of Cross River State. After a series of rigorous legal proceedings and arguments presented by both parties, the Supreme Court has officially adopted the case for judgment.
Scheduled to be delivered today, the judgment holds significant implications for the political landscape of Cross River State and is expected to bring an end to the ongoing court battle between Senator Onor and Governor Otu. The outcome of this case will determine the future political leadership of the state.
In response to the adoption of the petition, the Governor of Cross River State, represented by the Deputy Governor, expressed confidence in their position. They maintained that they have adequately demonstrated that they have no case to answer. Both the Governor and the Deputy Governor reiterated their eligibility and qualifications as supported by the arguments presented during the court proceedings. They remain hopeful that the Supreme Court will validate their claims.
The legal counsel representing the Governor argued that Senator Onor’s case is destined to fail. They highlighted that the appellant’s case differs significantly from the one presented before the tribunal, rendering it “dead on arrival.” The Governor’s legal team expressed optimism that the Supreme Court will recognize this disparity and rule in their favor.
