Justice James Abundaga of the Abia North Election Rerun Petition Tribunal sitting in Umuahia, on Thursday struck out a petition filed by the Progressive Peoples’ Alliance (PPA) and former Governor of Abia State, Dr. Orji Kalu against the declaration of Mao Ohuabunwa of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as winner of the controversial election, has caused uproar among stakeholders including students, market women, traders as they thronged the streets of Umuahia and Aba to register their displeasure over the verdict.Though it was a peaceful protest, the looks on the faces of the people were disturbing and alarming as they could not hide their unhappiness over the decision of the tribunal.As they moved from one street to the other, the protesters were seen singing and carrying placards with different inscriptions such as “Kalu is the authentic winner”, “Appeal Court return OUK”,  “We want OUK”, “Ikpeazu, T.A Orji and MAO are enemies of Abians.”According to them, the ruling is biased and against the wish of the people.
