Abia State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Sunday joined their counterparts across the country to demand that the Supreme Court reverses its judgment to remove Emeka Ihedioha as the governor of Imo State.
PDP faithful during the protest, marched through major roads of the state capital with placards of bearing different inscriptions that described reasons for their protest.
Leader of the peaceful protest, the state party chairman, Chief Johnson Onuigbo said “We gathered to express our anger over the Supreme Court judgement (on Imo State).
According to Onuigbo, though in Abia, “we are concerned as it is not only about Abia or Imo States, but about Nigeria and because we are Nigerians. Injury to one, is injury to all.
“We are demanding that the Supreme Court reverse itself.
“The Supreme Court can make mistakes because they are human beings. They made a mistake by denying the people (of Imo State) their votes. They are not supposed to appoint the governor. The people elected their governor.
“The decision is injurious to democracy and is an attempt to disrupt our nascent democracy”.
The state party chairman who expressed his confidence in the judiciary as the hope of the common man said “they should reverse the judgement and give Ihedioha what belongs to him”
Chief Onuigbo said the party is suspecting an invisible hand in the judgement, “looking at the way and the intrigues on how the judgement was given”.
He added, “If moves to reverse the judgement fails, we will forge ahead, but when the the time comes, we know what to do”.
Some of the placards read: “Judiciary save our nascent democracy; Can a tyrant leader allow justice to thrive; ” Judiciary stop being cowed by Gen Mohammed Buhari; “Independent judiciary is sinequanon to justice”.
