My Case Different from Bayelsa, Ihedioha Tells Supreme Court
A former Imo State Governor, Hon. Emeka Ihedioha has told the Supreme Court that the facts and circumstances of his application before the court are different and distinguishable from the one filed by the All Progressive Congress and i’s candidate, David Lyon with respect to the governorship election of Bayelsa State.
However the apex court had on February 18 adjourned hearing in the application to Monday March 2, following a request by Ihedioha’s lawyer, Chief Kanu Agabi for time to reply the respondents. It held that the applications were aimed at “desecrating the sanctity of the court”, stressing that it was an invitation for the Supreme Court to sit on appeal over its final judgment in violation of the Constitution.
He further argued that contrary to the depositions by the respondents, there is nowhere in the judgment of the apex court delivered on January 14 2020 in which the decision of the lower court striking out the petition for incompetence was set aside or upturned. That while Uzodinma and his APC claimed that “results from 388 polling units were excluded which this court ordered to be added to him, PW54, whose evidence they relied upon, testified that he came to tender results of only 366 polling units.
