Nigeria’s apex court has set a new date for the hearing of the application filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and sacked Imo State Governor, Emeka Ihedioha.
The Supreme Court says the new date is now March 2, 2020.
Ihedioha and his party are asking the court to reverse the judgment which declared Hope Uzodinma of the All Progressives Congress, APC, winner of the 2019 governorship election.
Ihedioha was sacked by the apex court on 14 January and victory awarded to Uzodinma.
At the mention of the case on Tuesday, Ihedioha’s lead lawyer, Kanu Agabi sought for time to enable parties file the necessary papers, a request other lawyers in the case did not object to.
Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Ibrahim Muhammad, who led other six judges, in a brief ruling, granted the request for adjournment and adjourned till March 2, 2020.
