A group, Movement for the Advancement of Democracy in Nigeria, has said the Supreme Court ought to have ordered a re-election in Imo State, instead of declaring Senator Hope Nzodinma as Governor.
The group said neither Emeka Ihedioha of the Peoples Democratic Party nor Senator Nzodinma met the criterion of geo-electoral spread as enshrined in the electoral law.
The group’s position was endorsed by Cadrell Advocacy Center, Youth Arise for Nigeria and Constitutional Rights Advocates Initiative.The group maintained that the two candidates did not have a spread of 25 percent of votes in two-thirds of the local governments in Imo State.
