THE WHISTLER reported that the apex court had sacked the PDP candidate, and had declared Hope Uzodinma of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the validly elected governor of the state.

The court subsequently upheld it’s ruling by describing Ihedioha’s application for a review of the judgment as “lacking in merit.

But Ihedioha, said that the dissenting judgement of the Supreme Court by Justice Centus Nweze in the matter was proof that the motion he filed was founded on facts.

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 that although his governorship mandate had been taken from him, he would still play active role in ensuring that Imo state progresses.

He also reminded those laughing at him due to his political ordeal that God was the ultimate judge.

To those who are rejoicing about their successful political fraud at the expense of Imo people, as well as their collaborators,
