The Supreme Court has dismissed an application filed by Emeka Ihedioha, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2019 Imo State governorship election.

In the suit, Ihedioha asked the apex court to review its judgment which sacked him as the governor of the state.

A seven-man panel of judges led by Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Muhammad presided over the majority judgment yesterday in Abuja.

Six of the judges on the panel agreed with the apex court’s verdict while Justice Chima Nweze gave a dissenting judgment, stressing that the decision ought to be reviewed.
