BREAKING: SUPREME COURT STRIKES OUT IHEDIOHA’S SUIT AGAINST UZODIMMA
Emeka Ihedioha of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo State filed a petition with the Supreme Court requesting a certificate of return as the state’s rightful governor.
Ihedioha had persuaded the Supreme Court that Governor Hope Uzodinma was not qualified to run for election in the first place, saying that the court had previously declared Uche Nwosu as the rightful candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Supreme Court denied the motion for lack of merit in a decision read by Justice Tijjani Abubakar on Tuesday, calling it superfluous and vexatious.
It awarded the cost of N40 million against Mike Ozekhome for bringing the matter before the court.
