The supreme court has today dismissed the application of Emeka Ihedioha, former governor of Imo state, seeking a review of the judgement which led to his removal from office.
On January 14, 2020, the apex court had nullified Ihedioha’s victory in the March 9, 2019, election and declared Hope Uzodinma, his All Progressives Congress (APC) rival, winner of the election.

Ihedioha had approached the court, demanding that the judgement should be reviewed.
On Tuesday, a panel of judges led by Ibrahim Muhammad, chief justice of Nigeria (CJN), dismissed the application, saying the ruling of the court is final.
However, Chima Chiweze, one of the judges out of the seven-man panel, disagreed with the judgement.
