The Supreme Afirms Hope Uzodinma As Governor as the winner of the march 9th elections.
In the lead judgement which was read by Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, the apex court ordered that the certificate of return issued to Ihedioha be immediately withdrawn and a fresh certificate of return should be issued to Uzodinma.The court also directed that Uzodinma must be immediately sworn in as Governor.
The Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) has since reacted to the Supreme Court judgement which ousted Emeka Ihedioa as Imo state governor and declared the All Progressive Congress(APC) candidate, Hope Uzodinma as the duly elected governor of the state.
A photo making rounds online, captured moment Governor Emeka Ihedioha allegedly cried after the Supreme Court declared Hope Uzodinma of the All Progressives Congress (APC) winner of the 2019 governorship election.
Recall that the Supreme Court in its judgement said records presented to the court proved that election results from 388 polling units during the election, were unlawfully excluded from the overall collated results that declared Ihedioha winner of the state governorship election.
The apex court which stated that results from the cancelled polling units amounted to 213,295 votes, added that Ihedi
oha was returned elected based on wrong computation of results
