The Supreme Court has fixed October 31 to hear two separate appeals seeking to nullify the eligibility of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2019 governorship election in Imo State and to remove Hope Uzodinma as governor.
The Peoples Democratic Party and Action People’s Party are asking the Supreme Court to give effect to its judgement delivered in 2019, disqualifying Uche Nwosu of the APP from the Imo governorship election on grounds of double nomination, as contained in a notice of hearing served on all parties in the appeal.
In the appeal they are arguing that APC cannot have the governorship in person of Uzodinma.
They are therefore praying the apex court to return its candidate, Emeka Ihedioha as winner of the election since APC was precluded from sponsoring two candidates in the Imo State governorship election.
