Supreme Court Affirms Hope Uzodinma’s Reelection

The Supreme Court has affirmed the reelection of Governor Hope Uzodinma of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as governor of Imo State.

In a judgment on Friday, August 23, a five-member panel of the court dismissed the appeal by the Labour Party (LP) and its candidate, Athan Achonu for being unmeritorious.

Justice Mohammed Baba Idris, who authored and read the lead judgment, resolved the three issues identified for determination against the appellants.

Justice Idris found that the appellants as petitioners at the election tribunal, failed to prove their case as required.
