The Imo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said it would continue to protest the January 14 Supreme Court’s judgement that sacked Emeka Ihedioha as governor of the state.
The party said in a statement issued by its Publicity Secretary in the state, Damian Opara, after a stakeholders meeting said that its members have expanded more of their strategies in dealing with the defection of lawmakers elected under its platform to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
It would also continue to employ every legal means available to the party to make sure that the unjust judgement given against the party, Governor Emeka Ihedioha and his Deputy Hon. Gerald Irona by the Supreme Court of Nigeria is reviewed and reversed.
The party also insisted that it would continue to protest over the outcome of the Supreme Court judgment which removed Emeka Ihedioha as the governor of the state and declared Uzodinma as the rightful winner of the March 9, 2019 governorship election in the state.
Governor Hope Uzodinma had last week said he would no longer tolerate any form of protest capable of inciting the people of the state.
The Stakeholders finally urged all PDP members to remain faithful in the Party and leave all those who have left the party as there are better future in the party for them than elsewhere, since what the Party is facing now in Imo State is a temporal set back.
