The Supreme Court has rescheduled the hearing on the application filed by the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) seeking to remove Hope Uzodinma from his position as Imo state governor to December 5.
Originally, the apex court had set October 31, 2023, as the date for the hearing.
In 2020, APGA submitted an application asserting that a fresh election should have been conducted in the state after the Supreme Court nullified the election of Emeka Ihedioha, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party.
The party argued that the Supreme Court didn’t address the validity of Uzodinma’s candidacy as it was not challenged by Ihedioha and the PDP in appeal marked SC/1462/2019. Three years after the application was initially filed, the Supreme Court has now scheduled its hearing for Tuesday.
However, when journalists visited the apex court on Tuesday, the matter was not listed on the court’s cause list.
One of the apex court registrars told journalists that the case had been moved to December 5.
No reasons were given for the postponement of the case.
