 Resident Doctors Suspend Planned Strike The Association of Resident Doctors (ARD) has suspended its planned nationwide strike, earlier scheduled to commence today Monday 12th of January 2026, Following fresh engagements with the Federal Government, The North-Central caucus of the association announced the suspension after a series of consultations with government representatives, saying the decision was taken in the interest of patients while discussions continue. The caucus leader, Dr Fanen Dogoh, however, said the suspension does not mean the issues that prompted the strike threat have been resolved. The resident doctors had planned to embark on industrial action over the continued failure of the government to honour a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) reached with the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD).

Supreme Court Judgement: Ahiwe Appreciates God, Thanks Abians, Congratulates Otti

The Abia State PDP 2023 governorship candidate, Chief Okey Ahiwe has responded to the judgement of the Supreme Court which, in its ruling on Friday, January 12, 2024 on the appeal brought by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against the declaration of Dr. Alex Otti by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the duly elected governor of Abia State in the 2023 governorship elections, affirmed the declaration of Dr. Alex Otti as the duly elected governor of Abia State.

It would be recalled that following the said declaration by INEC, Chief Ahiwe and the PDP had approached the Abia State Elections Petition Tribunal sitting in Umuahia to challenge the declaration, and subsequently went to the Court of Appeal, Owerri Division sitting in Lagos, to challenge the verdict of the Tribunal which upheld the INEC declaration. Dissatisfied with the ruling of the Court of Appeal that upheld the Tribunal verdict, they headed to the Supreme Court as the final arbiter in the judicial process.

Reacting to the judgement of the Supreme Court, Chief Ahiwe appreciated God for sustaining him, and thanked his family, supporters, leadership and members of the Peoples Democratic Party, his able legal team led by Professor Paul Ananaba, friends, associates and Abians in general for standing by him through the challenging period of elections and protracted legal battle.

In his words, “We went to court in an objective exercise of our rights and our collective conviction, and now that the Supreme Court has delivered judgement, it is time to move ahead and embrace other prospects for the future. I therefore congratulate Dr. Alex Otti and wish him God’s guidance in the discharge of his duties.”

Chief Ahiwe while praying for the success of Abia State, called on all Abians to continue to be peaceful and law abiding, emphasizing that the future always holds greater promises and nothing can be achieved where there is no peace.
