A plea by Emeka Ihedioha of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo State seeking a certificate of return as the state’s lawful governor has been dismissed by the Supreme Court.
Osun Defender reports that Ihedioha had told the apex court that Governor Hope Uzodinma was not qualified to run for the election in the first place.
He claimed that the court had earlier declared
Uche Nwosu as the rightful candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
In a verdict read by Justice Tijjani Abubakar on Tuesday, the Supreme Court dismissed the motion for lack of merit, calling it needless and vexatious.
It awarded the cost of N40 million against Mike Ozekhome for bringing the matter before the court.
