Ihedioha vs Uzodinma: PDP tells CJN Tanko Muhammad, 6 others to recuse themselves from Tuesday’s judgement
recuse himself from the hearing of the review application on the Imo State governorship election petition.
The party made the demands on the grounds of likelihood of bias and the need to ensure fair hearing, adding that it was to ensure that fairness and justice is not only done, but also seen to have been done. “Consequently, we feel it as our patriotic duty to hereby humbly request that your Lordship constitute a different panel of this great court for the purpose of hearing this application.
“At the heat of the moment, the Party addressed a Press Conference and expressed its displeasure and disagreement with the judgement, and called on the Justices that heard the case to recuse themselves during any possible future review of the case that may come before the Court, the Party even went further to ask the President of the Court to even resign.
“Allegation of bias or likelihood of bias goes to the root of fair hearing. Denial of right to fair hearing is a logical consequence of bias in any proceeding before a Court or a tribunal.
