BEVERLY HILLS, January 27, (THEWILL) – The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is set to file for a review of the Supreme Court judgment that nullified the election of its candidate, Emeka Ihedioha, as the governor of Imo State, before the end of this week.
THEWILL recalls that the Supreme Court had Tuesday, January 14, sacked Ihedioha as governor of Imo State and ordered the swearing-in of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Senator Hope Uzodinma.
But the decision to formally seek a review of the case received the approval of the National Executive Committee (NEC) of PDP at its meeting last week.
Supreme Court Sacks Ihedioha, Declares Uzodinma Governor Of Imo State
The party has assembled a group of lawyers across the country, that are considered the brightest in constitutional issues, to break down the verdict of the Supreme Court and exposed its failings.
To that extent, some of the constitutional lawyers engaged by the PDP to formally present the party’s request for a review of the Supreme Court judgment had been putting final touches to the petition.
One of the directives of the NEC to the lawyers is that all constitutional means must be taken to seek a review and ensure justice for the sake of posterity.
