“No intimidation or coercion will dissuade us because we are resolved on this protest and we will continue to protest until justice is obtained.”
Consequently, efforts by a group of youths loyal Governor Hope Uzodinma, to truncate the protest failed following the timely intervention of security officers.
Charlie Boy, who is son of the late Supreme Court Justice, Chukwudifu Oputa, described the judgment as a miscarriage of justice and mistake on the part of the Supreme Court justices. Citing his late father’s stance on issues of justice in the country, he urged the apex court to revisit and reverse the judgment, saying, “There is so much injustice going on in Nigeria.
We will stand together to fight this injustice. This protest is not about a person but for the good of Imo. So, we are appealing that the Supreme Court should review the judgment and reverse it in the overall interest of the Imo people, the judiciary and the nation at large. The protesters, numbering over 2000 marched through Mbaise Road, Owerri, carrying placards with inscriptions as, Imo People Want Ihedioha Back, We Voted For Ihedioha, Ihedioha Is The Imo Governor We Know and Supreme Court, Please Give Us Justice, among others.
