Ahead of today’s hearing of the application by the sacked governor of Imo State, Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, for the Supreme Court to review its judgment on the 2019 governorship election, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has written to the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Tanko Ibrahim Muhammad, demanding his recusal along with six other justices of the court from the case.

In a letter signed by the National Chairman of the party, Prince Uche Secondus and National Secretary, Alhaji Umar Ibrahim Tsauri, the main opposition party demanded that a new panel be set up to hear Ihedioha’s application.

Should the CJN agree to the request, the Supreme Court, which presently has only 13 justices, will be short of personnel to hear the case.

Going by the principle of the Supreme Court, reconstituting the panel will require seven justices of the apex court to hear the case; one justice short of the six that would be left after seven of their colleagues might have recused themselves from the case as being demanded by the PDP.

In the letter dated February 14, 2020, the party said it feared “likelihood of bias” and “denial of right to fair hearing.”

The other justices the party asked to recuse themselves along with Justice Muhammad are: Justice Nwah Sylvester Ngwuta, Justice Olukayode Ariwola, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, Justice Amina Adamu Augie and Justice Uwani Musa Abba Aji.

The party said the seven justices, including the CJN, should recuse themselves from participating in hearing the application for setting aside their earlier judgment in the above case, on grounds of likelihood of bias.

Who or What is PDP?

PDP should please take a sit.

Imo is done and dusted.

Don't allow Ihedioha to waste his newly aquired loots on legal procedures.

As for PDP, a dead party trying to stay afloat.

God only needs to keep Oshiomole alive till 2023 and certain he will bury PDP finally.

Supreme Court should hold pdp in contempt and through out their stupid case. Also all the SAN representing them should face disciplinary actions for sheer foolishness
