BREAKING| Ihedioha vs Uzodinma: Eminent Leaders of thoughts fault Supreme Court Judgement
…Urges Supreme Court To Reverse Itself And Restore the people’s Mandate
A group, Eminent National Leaders of thoughts in the Nigerian Civil Society and Third Force Movement has faulted the Supreme Court ruling that annulled the electoral victory of former governor of Imo state , Rt Hon Emeka Ihedioha.
In a joint statement issued following Consultative meetings held in Abuja, Imo and Lagos respectively, and signed by their Spokesperson, Dr. Olusegun Awe Obe on behalf of the group, the Leaders said the errors of the lordships at the apex court was capable of throwing the state into major political upheaval and anarchy, capable of derailing the peace hitherto enjoyed in the state and the entire south east region.
The group said the contradictions inherent in the judgment was very glaring making it clearly erroneous and faulty in foisting a candidate that came forth in an election on the people of the state.
The Eminent Civil Society Leaders argued that the apex court jettisoned the precedence it set in Abubakar Atiku vs Muhammadu Buhari that the petitioner ought to call witnesses in all the polling units he claimed he was rigged out to prove his case.
