Emeka Ihedioha has filed an application at the supreme court
for the review of the judgment that sacked him as Imo state governor.
The apex court declared Hope Uzodinma, who came fourth in
the Imo governorship election of 2019, as the duly elected governor of the
state in January.
Ihedioha had described the judgment as a subversion of the
will of Imo people.
Last Wednesday, he filed the application, which he premised
on eight grounds, for the review of the verdict.
One of the grounds is that the apex court did not take into
cognisance the appeal court judgment which dismissed Uzodinma’s appeal.
The former governor is seeking one relief which is — his
return as the duly elected governor of Imo.
His application, though not unprecedented, is the last
resort of which outcome is final.
But the supreme court is not known to reverse itself on
matters it had already dispensed with.
