Imo Diaspora seek visa ban against CJN and six others

President Donald Trump and Speaker Nancy Pelosi of the United
States of America have been petitioned by Imo Diaspora Coalition
for Justice and Democracy, over the removal of Emeka Ihedioha as
the Governor of Imo State by the Supreme Court.

The group sought for a US visa ban against Chief Justice of
Nigeria, Justice Tanko Muhammad and six other Justices of the
Supreme Court of Nigeria who decided the matter.

According to the group, Justice Tanko, Justice Kudrat
Kekere–Ekun, Justice Sylvester Ngwuta, Justice Olukayode Ariwoola,
Justice Aminu Sanusi, Justice Amina Augie, and Justice Uwani
Abba-Aji went on a judicial coup by overturning the
governorship mandate given to Rt Hon Emeka Ihedioha. The petition
so far has over 700 signatures.

The group said;

“Nigeria’s disgraceful partisan Supreme Court must reverse her
recent perverted ruling or be placed on visa ban or no-fly list,
including members of their immediate families.

“In what has been described a ‘judicial coup’, the Supreme Court
of Nigeria overturned the landslide Imo State governorship
electoral mandate, given to Rt Hon Emeka Ihedioha of the People’s
Democratic Party (PDP) and handed victory to the ruling All
Progressives Congress’ (APC) candidate, Hope Uzodinma, who came a
distant fourth position in the election.

“When that whole fake results were added without adjustment to
other figures, it brought the total votes cast to 928,054 , which
is not only higher than INEC declared total valid votes cast of
714,355 but total number of accredited voters of 823,743 for the
election. Yet, the Supreme Court in a bizarre judgment awarded more
votes to the fourth placed candidate, that inflated total votes
cast above the number of voters, and made him winner.”
