The Supreme Court on Monday, again, adjourned the hearing of the application seeking the review of its judgment which upturned the result of the 2019 Imo State governorship election.
A seven-man panel of the court, led by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Muhammad, adjourned the application till Tuesday, following a request by Ihedioha’s lawyer, Chief Kanu Agabi (SAN).
Agabi said, “The matter was adjourned till today for hearing. But incidentally, we were served a process by the respondents in court this morning, which we must look at in order to respond.
“If it is convenient for you, my lords, permit us to come back tomorrow (Tuesday) so that we can look at the issues that may arise.”
Uzodinma’s lawyer, Damien Dodo (SAN), agreed that the applicants were served Monday morning, explaining that it was so because they only filed and served their papers last Friday.
Mr. Idehioha of the Peoples Democratic Party had on February 5, 2020, asked the apex court to review its Imo governorship decision of January 14, 200, which sacked him as governor and and affirmed Uzodinma, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), as governor of the state.
Ihedioha says that the judgement was obtained by fraud, among other things.
