This Nigeria news platform understands that Ihedioha had approached the apex court seeking to be issued a certificate of return as the rightful Governor of Imo State.
Ihedioha claimed that the Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma wasn’t qualified to run in the first place.
Ihedioha and Uzodinma contested against each other in the governorship election held in 2019.
Uzodinma contested on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), while Ihedioha was the candidate of the PDP.
