The Court of Appeal sitting in Owerri, has struck out the case filed by Chief Emeka Ihedioha, the gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo State, challenging the dismissal of his petition by the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal.

Ihedioha was challenging the declaration of Chief Rochas Okorocha of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as governor of Imo State.

In his ruling yesterday, chairman of the Appeal Panel, Justice Jimmy Bada, said the case was dismissed on grounds of improper service of summons on the respondents, whose addresses were not properly listed.

But Ihedioha, in his reaction sent by his media assistant, Chibuike Onyeukwu, said he would approach the Supreme Court for redress.

Similarly, Okorocha, in a statement signed by his chief press secretary, Mr. Sam Onwuemeodo, said the judgement had upheld justice and respected the popular and lawful actions of the people over who would govern them at any given time.

He also commended Ihedioha for exercising his rights, adding that the legal actions were designed “to strengthen our democracy.”

Time for lawyers to have more money, from tribunal to appeal court finally to supreme Court.

instead of them to accept their fate, they would still press forward to re-appeal...

Supreme court is next. I trust lawyers who want to milk dis politicians as much as possible. Dy wud advice him to head for the supreme court. As far as am concerned dis case is DOA(Dead On Arrival). Even dou am nt a fan of Rochas I believe he won the election fair and square.

lets just say he won. buh he is a selfish idiot, no ofence

Ihedioha is just hell bent on squandering his last shishi on this elephant project of his!!

PDP failed instantly when they made a "rookie" Ihedioha their candidate... Tho he's financially capable but doesn't have the grassroot loyalty...Ararume would have given Rochas a good fight or might have won that election...

Congratulations Rochas. A true Igbo son!

Ihedioha had a good chance of winning a seat at the senate than being the governor of Imo state
