Ihedioha
Emeka Ihedioha says the people of Imo are demanding justice over
his sack as governor of the state.
Ihedioha said this in a tweet on Wednesday while reacting to a
protest by Charles Oputa, entertainer, better known as Charly
Boy.
“Today, concerned citizens of our State took to the streets yet
again to carry on with their demand for justice,” the former
governor tweeted.
“I encourage our people to continue to be peaceful and law
abiding, as we remain firm in our resolve to strengthen our
democracy. Imo Bu Nke Anyi.”
During the protest, Oputa said Chukwudifu Oputa, his late father
and and a former supreme court judge, told him the apex court could
make mistakes.
The entertainer asked the supreme court to reverse itself on the
matter.
“As a little boy, a 10-year-old boy, my father, who was once in
charge of the supreme court once said that the supreme court can
make mistakes,” he said.
“We admit that the supreme court has made a mistake. They should
correct themselves.”
In January, the supreme court sacked Ihedioha and affirmed Hope
Uzodinma, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), as
governor of the state.
Ihedioha, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has
asked the apex court to review its judgment.
