Supreme Court dismisses Ihedioha’s review application for lack of jurisdiction

The Supreme Court has dismissed an application filed by Mr Emeka Ihedioha and Peoples Democratic Party.

Mr Ihedioha had asked the apex court to review its judgement which sacked him as the governor of Imo State.

A seven-man panel of judges led by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Muhammad, dismissed the suit on Monday for lack of merit and that the court had no jurisdiction over the matter.

Recall that the Supreme Court had sacked Ihedioha as the Governor of Imo State on January 14, 2020.

In response, Ihedioha and the PDP in their application sought the review and reverse of the Supreme Court Judgment.

After two adjournments at the requests of Ihedioha’s lead counsel, KANU Agabi (SAN) and the verdict was finally given today.
