Channels Television sparked controversy on social media when they posted a statement on their official Twitter handle, expressing the dissatisfaction of prominent legal practitioner Monday Ubani regarding a recent court judgment in Kano. The judgment in question pertained to the case involving Abia State governor-elect, Alex Otti. According to Ubani, the judgment rendered by the Kano court was a cause for concern, and he expressed his disapproval.
Ubani, a well-respected figure in the legal community, criticized the court’s decision, specifically addressing the widespread jubilation that erupted in Abia State following Otti’s victory. He described the level of celebration as unprecedented, suggesting that it reflected the immense popularity and support Otti had garnered from the people of Abia.
The statement by Channels Television quickly gained attention and sparked a heated debate among social media users. Supporters of Alex Otti lauded Ubani’s remarks, viewing them as an endorsement of the governor-elect’s legitimacy and the people’s overwhelming support. Conversely, critics argued that Ubani’s remarks were premature and questioned the impartiality of the court’s decision.
