Uzodinma Admitted At The Election Tribunal That He Hijacked Result Sheets by Kingspin(m): 8:11pm On Mar 03, 2020 |
A Supreme Court Justice Nweze noted on Tuesday that the Supreme Court is permitted by law to overrule itself. “The reasoning in the judgment will sooner or later haunt our electoral jurisprudence,” Nweze said. Noting the statement is just an opinion, Nweze said his argument is “an appeal to the brooding spirit of the law.” Buttressing his argument, the lawyer said Uzodinma misled the apex court with the presented election results of the 388 polling units without indicating the votes polled by opposition parties. A Supreme Court Justice, Chima Nweze who on Tuesday gave a dissenting judgement stated the Supreme Court should review its January 14, 2020 ruling that sacked the Imo governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Emeka Ihedioha from office.

Justice Nweze also recalled how Uzodinma admitted at the election tribunal that he hijacked the result sheets from the Independent National Electoral Commission’s officials and completed the result sheets by himself. A seven-man panel of the Supreme Court on Tuesday decided on the application by Ihedioha’s lawyer, Chief Kanu Agabi (SAN) that the Court should review its judgement. The panel led by the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Tanko Muhammad voted six-to-one, with the majority agreeing to dismiss the application. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2020/03/imo-courts-verdict-will-haunt-nigerias-electoral-jurisprudence-―supreme-court/?fbclid=IwAR0HXOIQzyqRMV66_5knpWiN-LgS4cyqVlfHEl8nDeDuHS7oPc16HZ2uhfY |

What is the essence of this write up now after His Apex court victory. The Supreme Court verdict that brought the emergency of DIRI and UZODINMA from IMO state and Bayelsa state respectively, has given us the hope that we shouldn't give up when we are still breathing. Congratulations to the winners!
