supreme-court-imo

The Supreme Court on Tuesday adjourned the much anticipated hearing of Emeka Ihedioha’s application for the review of the January 14, 2020 judgment which sacked him as Imo State governor and installed Hope Uzodinma as his replacement.

The seven-man panel of the apex court, led by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Muhammad, adjourned the matter following the application of Ihedioha’s lawyer, Mr. Kanu Agabi (SAN), who told the court that processes were still being filed.

The lawyer representing Uzodinma and his party, the All Progressives Congress, Damian Dodo (SAN), and that of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Taminu Inuwa (SAN), did not oppose the application for adjournment.

The CJN-led panel therefore adjourned till March 2 for hearing.
