So what are Nigerians going to do about a Supreme Court judgement that makes no sense?
Another point for constitutional reform: so that the executive has no power over other arms of government. We cannot continue with this military style political system.

Supreme Court just declared Hope Uzodimma as Governor Elect of Imo State
Me: This reminds me of a popular Yoruba proverb that says "instead of a child to beat me at checkers, I would outwit him by cheating"
Congratulations APC. Tanko is working hard

In 1946 in order to get his way in #Argentina, Juan Peron tampered with the Supreme Court in his country. 74 years later and Argentina has still not recovered.
In 2019, in order to get his way in #Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari tampared with the Supreme Court in his country…

Ihedioha has been removed by the Supreme Court. Okay, cool. But I need explanation as to why they skipped the next two and made Hope Uzodinma Gov elect. Does anyone know? pic.twitter.com/yXoS1I2vpo

The Supreme Court is the final judicial voice.
Hope is the Governor of Imo State.
Away from the politics, and without any prejudice to the sanctity of the Supreme Court, I don’t understand how a man who took 4th in an election ends up being declared the winner of that election. pic.twitter.com/4YGRE4IGfe

From 4th position to winner? The Supreme Court has A LOT of explaining to do. What kind of voodoo mathematics is this?
