What Buhari said about Supreme Court judgement on Imo State

The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) has stated that the judgement by the Supreme Court in regards to the 2019 governorship election in Imo State is a victory for the people of the state.

The Supreme Court yesterday sacked PDP's Emeka Ihedioha and declared Hope Uzodinma, the candidate of the APC in the 2019 gubernatorial election, the new governor.

The court also asked the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to issue a certificate of return to Uzodinma.

The decision of the court has now been praised by Buhari who labeled it a victory for the people.

“The road to justice may be long and tortuous, but it is the best path for anyone aggrieved,” he said.

“Under the new administration, a new journey to build a new Imo with new energy is about to begin. In this outcome, it is the people of Imo State who have emerged victorious.”
