The Supreme Court has rejected a request from Emeka Ihedioha of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo State for a certificate of return as the legitimate governor of the state. Ihedioha argued before the apex court that Governor Hope Uzodinma was ineligible to contest the election, asserting that the court had previously declared Uche Nwosu as the rightful candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a judgment delivered by Justice Tijjani Abubakar on Tuesday, the Supreme Court dismissed the motion, deeming it lacking in merit and unnecessary. The court imposed a cost of N40 million against Mike Ozekhome for bringing the matter before the court.
