Uzodinma To Supporters: We Have Other Routes To Remove Ihedioha

By Ayodele Oluwafemi

Senator Hope Uzodinma has urged his supporters in the All Progressive Congress, APC to be confident of victory saying that other legal routes to removing Governor Emeka Ihedioha as governor of Imo State were being explored.

In his words, “Our supporters should not despair but should be confident that Justice will be served at the end of the day.

“I know that the tunnel that leads to Justice can sometimes be tortuous and daunting but I am confident that there is light at the end of the tunnel. So do not despair but look up to the future with the assurance of victory.

“We are sure that there was a miscarriage of Justice by the tribunal and necessary steps will be taken to address the same.

“My team of lawyers are studying the judgement and will soon advise me on the next line of action. The tribunal in its wisdom may have ruled against our petition but the good news is that there are other avenues to pursue the course of Justice.

“The tribunal in giving its judgement against our petition had argued, among other things, that because of the results from the 388 polling units where we won but omitted by INEC were not tendered by the polling unit agents that they were therefore of no probative value and were mere hearsay evidence.

“But all the parties, including INEC, agreed at the tribunal that elections were held in the 388 units and were free and fair. The issue was that INEC excluded the same results at the LGA collation centres. So the question of unit agents tendering the results could not have arisen when there was no dispute about elections in the units.”
