Leaders and supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, have on Monday, January 20, 2020, staged a protest across the streets of Abuja over the recent verdict of the Supreme Court that sacked one of its governors, Emeka Ihedioha.
Uche Secondus, the party’s national chairman, on Friday, January 18, 2020, during the party’s emergency National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting stated that the aim of the protest was to impress it on Nigerians that injustice has been done to the party.
The Supreme Court had on January 14, 2020, nullified the electoral victory of Emeka Ihedioha, the PDP Imo State 2019 governorship candidate.
The Supreme Court ruled that the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Hope Uzodinma, was the duly elected governor of the state and ordered that he be sworn in as the governor of the state.
Some of the PDP leaders at the protest include the PDP national chairman, Uche Secondus; the 2019 vice-president candidate, Peter Obi; and the Senate minority leader, Enyinnaya Abaribe.
