Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance Ifeanyi Ararume; Senator Hope Uzodinma of the All Progressives Congress and Uche Nwosu of the Action Alliance on Sunday adopted their written addresses asking the court to nullify the election of Emeka Ihedioha as Imo State Governor.
According to the petitioners, Section 179 of the Constitution says a winner must have the highest number of votes and also obtain the constitutional one quarter of the votes in at least two-thirds of the 27 local government areas of the state, a condition Ihedioha failed to meet. Araraume, in challenging the outcome of the election, said the Independent National Electoral Commission declared Ihedioha winner in error because he didn’t meet the constitutional requirements.He asked for an order to void the Certificate of Return issued to Ihedioha – on the grounds that there were massive irregularities in the election. He also averred, through his lawyers – Awa Kalu , Ahmed Raji , K.C Nwufo and I.
Araraume and APGA asked the tribunal to nullify and set aside the March 9 election for being invalid and not complying with the provisions of the Electoral Act 2010 and the 1999 Constitution.
