The full text of the supreme court judgment which sacked former governor Emeka Ihedioha of Imo state has now been made available days after the controversial ruling.
The apex court upheld the petition of Hope Uzodinma and affirmed him as the elected governor of Imo.
The controversies generated by the verdict led to protests in different parts of the country, to threats and ultimatums; and different reactions from the party which lost as well as those favoured by the judgment.
The judgement was delivered on January 14 but the full text was not made public, prompting different questions.
Uzodinma had argued that his votes from 388 polling units were excluded at the collation stage. He tendered some election materials including documents said to be duplicate of the original election result.
On his part, Ihedioha asked the court to dismiss his opponent’s appeal and affirm his election.
