...The outcome of last Imo state Gubernatorial election results 2019.
...APC’ll take over Imo, Father Mbaka declares
By Tunde Bright Olorungbotemi
The Supreme Court has declared Senator Hope Uzodimma as governor of Imo State. The seven-member panel of justices today held that Emeka Ihedioha was not duly elected Governor.
Ihedioha, Mbaka and UzodinmaUzodinma had challenged the decision of the Court of Appeal which upheld the election of Ihedioha. The Court of Appeal in Abuja in November 2019 dismissed three appeals challenging the election of Ihedioha.
A five-member panel of justices presided by Justice Oyebisi Omoyele dismissed the appeals by the Action Alliance (AA) candidate, Uche Nwosu; All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Hope Uzodinma and the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Ifeanyi Ararume challenging the election of Ihedioha.
While the appeal by the AA and APGA were dismissed by unanimous judgements, that of the APC was decided by a four to one split judgement. The appellants had in their appeal against the judgement of the Imo State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal in Owerri contended that the election was marred by corrupt practices, non-compliance with the electoral laws and failure to secure the majority of lawful votes cast.
But the appellate court upheld the findings and conclusions of the tribunal in the March 9 election where Ihedioha polled 273,404 votes to emerge victorious. The panel fined Ararume, Uzodinma and Nwosu N500,000 each.
The outcome of last Imo state Gubernatorial election results 2019
PDP: Emeka Ihedioha 273,404
AA : Uche Nwosu 190,364
APGA: Ifeanyi Araraume 114,676
APC: Hope Uzodinma 96,458
YPP: Ikedi Ohakim 527.
With this result how feasible is it for Hope Uzodimma to win at the Supreme Court
In the Judgment delivered by Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, the court accordingly ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission to withdraw the Certificate of Return issued to Ihedioha and issued a fresh Certificate of Return to candidate of the APC in grounds that he won majority of lawful votes cast at the election.
The court held that the lower courts erred in law when it were rejected evidence tendered before them to the extent that votes from 388 polling units were not credited to the APC and Hope Uzodinma.

The Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Nigeria (Amen), Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka, has said the Imo State governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the March 2019 election, Senator Hope Uzodinma, will take over the governance of Imo State.
The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the governorship election, Emeka Ihedioha was declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission as the winner of the poll and was returned elected.
However, the fiery Catholic priest, who released the shocking prophecies during his 2019 crossover ministration at his Adoration Ground, said he didn’t know the manner the revelation would manifest, but “no prophesy has ever been declared on this prayer ground without coming to pass.”
Mbaka warned those who might find the message uncomfortable not to come after him, as such action would attract the wrath of the Holy Spirit upon such individuals.
Mbaka said, “Many things are going to happen in Nigeria this 2020 that will shock countrymen and countrywomen; but all would be to God’s glory.
“In spite of all that would happen this 2020, there is hope. In Imo State, there is hope. Hope, hope, hope … hope in Imo State!
“Imo people have suffered (but) God is raising a new hope that would be an agent of salvation for them.
“He’s coming with a new flag to restore the dignity of that noble land. A new leadership that will break barriers and there would be joy in the land of Imo.
He added, “Lift your candles as I bless Hope Uzodinma; and I empower him to, spiritually, to take over. How, I do not know.
