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.
