Ousted Imo Governor Emeka Ihedioha has explained why he sough review of the Supreme Court judgement that declared Senator Hope Uzodinma
He said that apart from wanting to defend the mandate freely given to him by the people of the state, the major reason he sought the review of the Supreme Court judgement was to ensure the future implications were not too dire.
But, in his first official reaction to that judgement, Ihedioha described the judgement as a ‘tragic episode that thwarted the wishes of the people in a cynical manner’. “Even though justice was not served at the end, the well articulated dissenting judgement delivered by His Lordship, Justice Centus Nweze, has vindicated our stand. I am sure that history and posterity will be kind to him”.
He said the outcome of the judgement review was certainly not what the people of the state wanted or worked so hard for. “In particular, my special thanks go to all Imo citizens for their uncommon support, solidarity, and collective outrage. Never have a people been so united and committed to a cause. You prayed, fasted, marched, protested and even cried. You sacrificed your time, resources, and endeavour for this just cause.
