…Madumere, Uwajumogu Express Confidence In Judiciary<\/p>\n
The Supreme Court sitting in Abuja has adjourned the appeal filed by Governor Owelle Rochas Okorocha challenging the decision of the appeal court to join ex- Governor Ikedi Ohakim as a party to the suit filed by\u00a0 gubernatorial candidate of Action Congress of Nigeria(ACN), Senator, Ifeanyi Ararume, challenging the legality of supplementary elections of May 6, 2011 that produced Okorocha as the winner of 2011 Guber election.<\/p>\n
Adjourning after the Counsels of the parties had made their submissions and withdrawals for consolidation of motions, the Chairman of the Seven man judicial panel, Justice Tanko Mohammed said the matter before them is not that of Election Petition Tribunal, which has statutory time frame of one hundred and eighty days, wherefore urging the counsels especially who are to prepare their necessary motions so as not to continue the matter ad infinitum.<\/p>\n
In an interview with journalists on the matter, Imo State Deputy Governor, Prince Eze Madumere says he believes in the Judiciary and that they expect that justice will be achieved at the end of the day. His words, “Judiciary remains the last hope of the common man.\u00a0 How can you explain it to the masses of Imo State? What would you tell them that happened to their votes?<\/p>\n
Nigerian Judiciary has done well and with the emergence of the new Chief Justice of the Federation, Justice Aloma Muktar, a lot is being done to uphold the high integrity the Judiciary is known.\u00a0 Today, Democracy is on trial, people who believe in Justice are waiting, the good people of Imo State who are the installers and establishers of Rescue Mission Government are watching.<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean, how can anyone explain it? A matter had been properly handled by the competent Courts of law from the lowest to the apex level and now somebody felt he could come back through the back door. It is only an intruder or a thief that comes into a house through the window or back door or through a door break. There must be some explanation.\u00a0 His Excellency, Owelle Rochas Okorocha’s mandate is divine, which was authenticated by the masses of IMO State.,\u201d Madumere said.<\/p>\n
On the same vein, Speaker of Imo State House of Assembly, Chief Benjamin Uwajumogu said that \u201cwhat happened today at the Supreme Court is clear that the PDP plot is an effort in futility. It is a fact that Governor Okorocha’s mandate is divine. Even a layman knows that their case lacks merit.”<\/p>\n
.He averred that he had expected PDP to join hands to support Okorocha in transformation of Imo State and further pledged the support of the Imo House of Assembly to the governor towards achieving all he has strategically planned for development of IMO State.<\/p>\n
Pointblanknews.com gathered that the atmosphere of the court premises was filled with Imo Community resident in Abuja who had come to show solidarity to the governor while Ohakim’s media aide, Ethelbert Okere and few PDP\u00a0 supporters were sighted wearing long faces discussing the matter in low tones.<\/p>\n
