Supreme Court affirms Uzodinma’s reelection

THE NATION

The Supreme Court has affirmed the reelection of Governor Hope Uzodinma of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as governor of Imo State.

In a judgment on Friday, August 23, a five-member panel of the court dismissed the appeal by the Labour Party (LP) and its candidate, Athan Achonu for being unmeritorious.

Justice Mohammed Baba Idris, who authored and read the lead judgment, resolved the three issues identified for determination against the appellants.

Justice Idris found that the appellants as petitioners at the election tribunal, failed to prove their case as required.

He proceeded to affirm the judgment of the Court of Appeal, which upheld the decision of the election tribunal, dismissing the appellants’ petition.

The court is now delivering judgment in the appeal by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Samuel Anyawu.
