PDP Loses Imo As Supreme Court Declares APC Uzodinma Governo

 

The Supreme Court on Tuesday declared the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hope Uzodinma, as the winner of the March 9, 2019, governorship election in Imo state.

A seven-man panel of the apex court led by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Tanko Muhammad, in a unanimous decision, voided the election of Emeka Ihedioha of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the governor.

Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, who read the lead judgment, ordered that the certificate of return issued to Ihedioha be withdrawn immediately.

She directed that a fresh certificate of return should be issued to Uzodinma.

The Supreme Court also directed that Uzodinma must be immediately sworn in as the Governor of Imo State.
