The Supreme Court, again, on Monday adjourned till Tuesday the hearing of the application seeking the review of its judgment which upturned the outcome of the last governorship election in Imo State.

The Peoples Democratic Party’s Emeka Ihedioha, is by his application filed on February 5, 2020, seeking the review of the apex court’s February 13, 2020 judgment which removed him from office after about seven months of being inaugurated as the Imo State governor.

The apex court, in the disputed verdict which Ihedioha alleged was obtained by fraud, installed the All Progressives Congress’ Hope Uzodinma, as Ihedioha’s replacement.But a seven-man panel of the court led by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Muhammad, however, further adjourned the application till Tuesday, following a request by Ihedioha’s lawyer, Chief Kanu Agabi .

Agabi said, “The matter was adjourned till today for hearing. But incidentally, we were served a process by the respondents in court this morning, which we must look at in order to respond. “If it is convenient to you my lords, permit us to come back tomorrow so that we can look at the issues that may arise.”

Responding, Uzodinma’s lawyer, Damien Dodo , said applicants were served Monday morning because they only filed and served their papers last Friday.The Independent National Electoral Commission’s lawyer, Taminu Inuwa , too said he was ready to proceed with the hearing.Members of the panel were, the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Muhammad, and Justices Sylvester Ngwuta, Olukayode Ariwoola, Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, Amina Augie, and Uwani Abba-Aji.

Ndioshi adjournment upon adjournment to allow the hopeless Ozodimgba time to loot huunm Supreme Fraud of Zoo

We still kept our fingers across waiting for the judgement

No way to escape the world”s eye is beam on them . Sanction dey lurk for corner

Hope Uzodinma is returning to his seat as executive governor of Imo State.

😁😁😁😂😂🤣 everyday na drama for naija.

They are confused on how to handle this particular case

They are fine tuning stuff, I guess. Yeye Judges, Yeye country

And so

What is happening again? Are these justices scared to either sustain or reverse the judgement?

As the saying goes,Justice delays is Justice denial.This IMO case is a test of justice integrity and future interpretations of what Supreme Court means.

This is Nigeria. Stupid country

Technicality

Nigerians read b4 u comment , stop disgracing others

Supreme court is nothing but SCAM!!!!!

Return Ihedioha to his position period,you like adjoin to tomorrow, next tomorrow or even next year, that's the verdict we all expect Tanko and Co.

They are waiting for Odili

Thieves, they should keep adjoining

Obviously, Imo supreme gubernatorial judgement is like a big bone lodged in the esophagus of the supreme court hence recurrent unusual adjournments! We can all feel their pulse but they brought it upon themselves, quute unfortunate!!

They must review that useless judgment.

Justice must surely be done. EmekaIhedioha is the elected governor of Imo State. The world is watching.......

Those criminals want to use delaying tactics to cool the temper of the masses down But it would not be accepted

Reading details can't be overemphasized. Emotion could make u stupid. Come tomorrow with more facts to beat, remove and jail Hope Uzodinma for deceiving the Supreme Court and Nigerians. God bless Hon EmekaIhedioha God bless PDP Imo State. God bless Imo State. God bless Nigeria

Smh

People should learn the habit of reading before commenting. It was actually Emeka's who move for adjournment.

Headline sensationalism.. They won't read before commenting. Educated illiterates everywhere..

People should learn to read before commenting. The adjournment was requested by Ihedioha's lawyers.

Again 🙄

What are they scare of

Pressure everywhere

Its obvious tbey are up to something! The supreme court is just a shadow of itself now. Very sad

They will definitely be tired with adjournment one day. However, Uzodinma should ensure that his luggages are by the door with all those touts he smuggled into the heart land of BIAFRA (Owerri)

Lol no justice for this nation

Suprem court just de use this once play 😂😂😂

Do we still follow constitutional in Nigeria?

If care is not taking, this will rise to possible conflicts and may lead to difficulties in the smooth working of the various organs of government.

Yoruba will say Ejo ni owo ninu, snake has hands inside.

Again?

They can’t find a way to defend their manipulation? I don choke them for neck

Otùrùgbèkè. Overtake dòn overtake overtake. oh what a tangled web we weave when we first set out to do injustice

Formr. Gov Ihedioha should forget jare

Anxiety as Supreme Court reviews verdict on Imo todayThere is anxiety in Imo State as the Supreme Court begins hearing today in the application for the review of its January 14 judgment that removed Ihedioha He is a stooge that can carry out the evil plans of the arewa caliphate. The reason they took him from fourth to first. The East will always shy away from truth but take only to divisive tendencies. When you say Usodinma is a stooge of the caliphate, you are apparently setting the East against the norh. Just like Boko Haram now kill Christians to set us against ourselves. gua
