Twitter on fire since Ihedioha’s sack as Imo state governor

The supreme court on Tuesday nullified Emeka Ihedioha’s election as governor of Imo state, affirming Hope Uzodinma as winner of the March 9 election.

A seven-man panel held, in a unanimous decision that Ihedioha did not win majority of votes cast in the election in Imo state.

The judgment generated diverse reactions on social media, twitter most especially..

Former governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha was among those who commended the apex court’s judgment.

“Today, my HOPE in the Nigerian state has been further strengthened. The Supreme Court has delivered justice to the good people of Imo state and reinforced our belief that illegality has no place in our polity. I congratulate Governor Hope Uzodinma wholeheartedly,” Okorocha tweeted.

Fani Kayode still demand explanation on how a candidate who came 4th in the election suddenly became the winner.

A Twitter user, Arinze Odira, said contractors who borrowed money under Ihedioha’s administration should brace up.

“If Emeka Ihedioha gave you a contract and you borrowed money from the bank to finance it, brace yourself, you might be in for a very long thing.”

Would someone please explain to me how a candidate that came 4th in the election suddenly became the winner? The Supreme Court has a lot of explaining to do! The people of Imo did not deserve this nonsense!

If Emeka Ihedioha gave you a contract and you borrowed money from the bank to finance it, brace yourself, you might be in for a very long thing.

This is one of the issues with doing business in a frontier market or an emerging economy where politics determine everything.

The same revered & exalted S/Court of Nigeria that nullified APC’s victory in Zamfara State has affirmed the victory of APC in Imo State. That is judicial neutrality at its VERY BEST. I quickly dropped this here before our usual bad losers begin to cry foul & change the narrative

Father Mbaka said Buhari will defeat GEJ and be President for 8 years in 2014…He also said Emeka Ihedioha would be sacked and Hope Uzodinma will become Governor….Ladies and Gentlemen, Fear Father Mbaka!!!

In the end, it is Hope Uzordimma that will save Okorocha from Ihedioha….

To God be the glory 🙏

So Justice Tanko a Muslim Fulani man plotted with Reverend Father Mbaka a Catholic Christian priest to remove Ihedioha an Igbo man and replace him with him an igbo man to placate Satan Buhari…. 🤔? Seems legit. https://t.co/nve3EvhI0W

For Democracy sake, I think Nigerians deserve to know the basis/bases behind the Supreme court judgement to replace Ihedioha the supposed winner with Uzodinma the 3rd runners up…

Maybe @inecnigeria should be jettisoned…
