Another Technicality Governor...Imo State was test case.. Judicial bench now with a stroke of pen they overturned ppl wishes

Stupid judgement all the judges should be sack

By extension, what the tribunal is saying is that inecnigeria is incompetent of reconciliation of numbers as such isn't credible to conduct an election. In my opinion, this is more indicting for INEC than it is to any party involved.

This sacking no matter cos he will appeal, so he’ll still be governor 😃
