Nigeria Apex Law Court has dismissed an application filed by Emeka Ihedioha of the Peoples Democratic Party seeking to remove Hope Uzodinma from office as Imo state governor.
The applicant was praying to the court to give a consequential order to the Independent National Electoral Commission to issue a certificate of return to Ihedioha as the validly elected governor of Imo state in the 2019 election.
Presiding on the case on Tuesday, Justice Tijjani Abubakar, held that the application lacked merit, and was dizzy and exasperating.
He added that the court lacked jurisdiction to determine the matter, adding that the 60 days stipulated to hear the election matter had since elapsed.
The presiding officer, consequently fined Counsel for the PDP, Mike Ozekhome, SAN, N40m for bringing the matter before the court.
