The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Adams Oshiomhole, and the Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodinma, have dismissed the petition of Emeka Ihedioha of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the Supreme Court, describing it as false hope.
Fielding questions from State House correspondents after formally introducing the new Governor of Imo State to President Muhammadu Buhari, the APC National Chairman insisted that Ihedioha should not have been declared Governor in the first instance by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
Oshiomhole maintained that there are lots of issues the electoral umpire cannot defend in the Imo governorship election.

He said that since assuming office as Governor of the state, he immediately commenced consultations across party lines in a bid to reconcile those that are aggrieved.
The Governor said the focus of his administration would be anchored on rehabilitation, reconstruction, and recovery adding that he had designed an implementation plan that would bring development to the state.
