The Supreme Court Judgement on the Imo State Governorship Election of 2019 disobeyed the Nigerian Constitution.

The Supreme Court didn't pay attention to the Section-179; Subsection-2(b) of the Nigerian Constitution Which states that “the Candidate must have ONE-QUARTER of ALL the votes cast in at least TWO-THIRDS of all the Local Government In the State”.

The Supreme Court Judges just populated the votes from the disputed 388 Polling-units without paying attention to the spread of the Polling-units in the Various Local Governments across the state.

Thus, even if the values of the votes were actually valid, the values were not established to have met the constitutional requirements.

So, let us just say that Uzodinma won the Majority of the Votes According to the court judgement, then, the Supreme Court didn't establish it without any reasonable doubts, that he met the constitutional requirements of the spread among the whole Local Government Areas.

Very soon, future judgements would be based on this very judgement which, according to you, had been put to rest.

Say what you will or call him what you want Uzodinma is THE governor of imo state today and may get a second term if he does the needful.

No.
Does that stop me from calling him whatever I want to call him??
No.

Did the Supreme Court Judgement violate the Nigerian Constitution??
YES.!!

Mind you, I am more interested in the Subject of the Topic which is the Supreme Court Judgement.
Uzodinma’s Victory happens to be the unfortunate object in the topic.
But then, that's not where my attention is.
