The Supreme Court has upheld the victory of Imo state Governor, Rochas Okorocha at the April 2015 elections in the state.

The seven-man panel of the Supreme Court presided over by Justice John Fabiyi also dismissed the appeal by PDP governorship candidate in Imo State, Emeka Ihedioha who challenged the victory of Governor Okorocha.

According to the court which gave its ruling on Thursday, Ihedioha’s appeal lacked merit.

The Apex Court affirmed the judgment of the Court of Appeal in Owerri to the effect that Ihedioha’s failure to properly serve Okorocha his party, the All Progressives Congress, and other parties in the suit had robbed the Appeal Court’s jurisdiction to hear the case.

The Supreme Court also held that failure to indicate the addresses of other respondents on the processes of the appeal was injurious to the case.

The immediate past Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, had appealed against the ruling of the Imo State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal which dismissed his petition ‎on the grounds that it was incompetence and contravenes the electoral act.

He appealed to the Court of Appeal, which also on September 3, 2015 dismissed the appeal against the ruling of the tribunal.

The judgment of the Supreme Court lays to rest contention about the April 11, 2015 governorship election in the state.
