The Supreme Court, on Tuesday, deferred till December 5, hearing of an appeal that is seeking to invalidate the years that Senator Hope Uzodinma spent in office as the Governor of Imo state.
APGA contended that there ought to have been a fresh election in the state after the apex court nullified the election of Emeka Ihedioha of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. It equally filed an application for an order, directing the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to conduct a fresh election in Imo State within 90 days.
“Indeed, this court rightly noted at page 9 of its judgment in appeal number SC/1462/2019, Uzodinma vs Ihedioha, that the issue of the 1st appellant’s nomination by the 2nd appellant did not arise. Aside from APGA, both the PDP and the Action Peoples Party, APP, equally filed fresh appeals wherein they urged the Supreme Court to give effect to its 2019 verdict that disqualified Nwosu on the ground that he was nominated by both the AA and the APC.
