Barring any last minute changes, the Supreme Court will
finally rule on the application filed by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and
its governorship candidate in Imo State Emeka Ihedioha, against the Governor
Hope Uzodinma and his party, the All Progressives Congress, APC.
The apex court shifted hearing on the application from
Monday to Tuesday following a request by the Ihedioha’s lawyer.
Ihedioha and the PDP are seeking to reverse the Supreme
Court’s earlier judgment that sacked him (Ihedioha) as governor of Imo State
and installed Senator Uzodinma.
The Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN Tanko Muhammad-led
seven-man panel of justices of the court adjourned the case at the instance of
the lawyer to Ihedioha, Chief Kanu Agabi (SAN).
Agabi asked for time to respond to court processes that were
served on him by Damian Dodo (SAN), lawyer to Uzodinma and the APC in the
courtroom.
In the order hand, Dodo told the court that his clients,
Uzodinma and the APC were ready for the hearing to proceed.
Lawyer to the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) Taminu Inuwa (SAN), also told the court that the electoral umpire was
also ready.
However, CJN Muhammad, in a short ruling adjourned the
matter till Tuesday for hearing.
