Ihedioha vs Uzodinma: Reasons Supreme Court must review ruling on Imo Guber – HURIWA
Ihedioha as governor of Imo State and declared Hope Uzodinma winner of the last governorship election in the State.
Onwubiko also charged judges to be fearless and do away with bias or prejudice in the conduct of their responsibilities. “In his papers before the apex court seeking for setting aside of the judgment, Agabi observed that the beneficiary of the judgment, Governor Hope Uzodinma failed to plead the votes scored by all the parties in the 388 affected polling units, as it was only the votes scored by him that were pleaded – an omission he said, rendered the petition incompetent.
“What exactly is the reason for this recklessness is it corruption as alleged in certain quarters or is it lack of competence or diligence, whatever it is, it is giving the Nigerian Judiciary a very bad name, and it must be stopped. Judges must perform their judicial duties without fear or favour, bias or prejudice and ensure that their conduct both in and out of Court maintains and enhances the confidence of the public.
