IMO state house has zero APC representatives .
PDP is majority. I see impeachment looming.

Aside, IMO state votes along party lines, remember Okorocha was Voted as PDP. His second term was just power of incumbent. So who were those that voted APC in IMO state for Hope to have come up with such figured?

Oga go and read some more about the impeachment process of a governor. The state HOA cannot on it's own impeach a sitting governor without input from the judiciary. The state Chief judge appoints a panel to investigate into the allegations against the governor, and then the panel now recommends to the chief judge wether or not the allegations hold any water. The judge can be influenced to appoint members sympathetic to the governor to that panel.

Do you know what happened in Imo State? If you did you will be commending the Supreme Court. But these bunch and their army of unbaked Internet lawyers are out of their depths completely!
Ihedioha never won the gubernatorial election in Imo State. Prof. Ezeonu who was the REC in Imo State should be arrested after this Judgment if we were serious about electoral reform! From the figures from INEC, Ihedioha scored about 270,000 votes. 130,000 of those votes came from the 3 LGAs in his Mbaise area. Imposicant!!!!
Furthermore, he totally failed to score 25% in 2/3 of the LGAs of the State having only secured that in 9 LGAs! So how did Prof. Ezeonu declare him winner? The same man that withheld the Certificate of Return of Gov. Rochas on a claim that he was threatened! When asked to provide proof of this threat, he moped like a deer caught in the headlights! After everything, naughty Prof ran off the US on vacation!
What is worse? In Hope Uzodinma’s case, Prof. Ezeonu conducted a surgery on his votes! For reasons best known to him, the REC cancelled over 213,000 votes secured in 388 polling units by Hope! This was not done by the Presiding Electoral Officers at the polling units but by the REC at the State Collation Centre! Do votings take place at State Collation Centre? Votes can only be cancelled where they are cast. That is our law. But naughty Prof. had other ideas with his head like walnut!
Hope went on to obtain Certified True Copy of all these results from the polling units from INEC itself! The Police and NSCDC Reports concurred with this! Yet you want the Supreme Court to ignore this? You want the Court to uphold that a man who only scored 25% in 9 out of 27 LGAs as winner of governorship election in Imo State? Just because you think elephants fly because of your lack of knowledge does not mean we should all share in your classic ignorance.
So my ignorant wailer, Hope did not come 4th in the election. Prof. Ezeonu as REC allocated 4th to him and no law allows him to do such. He sought to make it impossible for Hope to obtain justice but the Supreme Court saw through his badly baked and thinly veiled scheme! The court restored the votes scored at the 388 polling units and added it to the 90,000 votes in favor of Hope which was unchallenged. That is what a good Court does. Follow the facts and apply the law to ensure that where there is a wrong there must be a remedy!
Ubi jus ibi remedium! Wailers don’t ask me what this means, go and ask your legbere internet lawyers!
Finally, those posting the comment “we do not deserve Tanko” please do not join them ooo. You should know that contempt of Court attracts imprisonment! Firstly, they are too ignorant to assess what Justice Tanko does and their ignorance will only lead them to jail. Don’t say you were not warned. That is what I do for friends. Warn them before they fall.

Don't forget said my name na copy and pest

Thanks for this. They should do a good job of making things clear. I have been searching and searching for in depth explanation since yesterday all to no avail

Supreme court please explain this mathemagic to us

INEC Declared results including cancelled votes.
1) Emeka Ihedioha (PDP) 273,404
2) Uche Nwosu (AA) 190,364
3) Ifeanyi Ararume (APGA) 114,676
4) Hope Uzodinma (APC) 96,458
5) Other candidates 39,453

Total Accredited voters 823,743
Total votes Cast 739,485
Cancelled votes 25,130
Valid votes 714,355

Accredited voters minus Valid votes = 109,388.
This is NOT enough to push Uzodinma to first position if added to his declared votes of 97k.

The Question is, where did the Supreme Court find the extra votes for Uzodinma? Is it from the number of Registered voters from the 388 polling units cancelled?

Counsel to Ihedioha should have asked this question the moment the evidence was tendered and accepted. It is either Counsel for Uzodinma got the right figure or counsel to Ihedioha are just charge and bail lawyers. Another another question is why didn't INEC reject or object such evidence if it contradict its total accredited votes, I think it would have been very easy for them to say, look you are wrong because if we add this figure you bring, it will exceed the accredited figure. Before you take a stand, ask objective question from both side.

Nawa oh. It's well
