PDP asks CJN, 6 others to recuse selves on review of Imo Supreme Court judgment

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has written to Ibrahim Muhammad, chief justice of Nigeria, demanding that he and six other justices withdraw from hearing the application by Emeka Ihedioha for the review of its judgment on Imo governorship election.

In a letter signed by Uche Secondus, the national chairman, and Umar Ibrahim Tsauri, national secretary, dated February 14, 2020, and seen by TheCable, the party demanded that a new panel be set up to hear Ihedioha’s application.

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

The supreme court was however silent on the petition on Tuesday (today ) when the case came up for mentioning, Starnews can report.
