The Supreme Court has slated October 31 to hear an application the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, filed to remove Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo state from office.
The hearing is coming three years after the motion was filed and less than a month to the scheduled governorship election in the state.
The apex court had held that Nwosu allowed himself to be nominated by both the All Progressives Congress, APC, and Action Alliance, AA. According to the party, a fresh election was necessary since in the eyes of the law, Imo State has no duly and validly elected governor, going by two judgments of the apex court in appeals number SC/1384/2019 and SC/1462/2019.
It however voided his nomination on the premise that he “knowingly allowed himself to be nominated as the gubernatorial candidate of two political parties.”Therefore, APGA, through its legal team, pointed out that the apex court, in its judgment in the second appeal number SC/1462/2019, wherein the then governor, Emeka Ihedioha of the PDP was sacked, did not establish that Senator Uzodinma was duly nominated by the APC.
