The Supreme Court has no Difficulty Anymore. Written by KEMKA S. IBEJI

KEMKA S. IBEJI 
It won't be difficult to remove Sen. Hope Uzodinma but it will be difficult to return Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha. No one among them has won the election. Though Rt. Hon Emeka Ihedioha would have been said to be nearer to victory than Sen. Hope Uzodinma, there is no nearness to reality. The proclamation of the law in the instance operates exclusively within two-valued Logic. So it is either true or false and no middle ground. None of the two had won yet and the Supreme Court knows this, at least now if they never knew so.

The points are very clear;
1. Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha did not win according to the statutory requirement of the spread being the 25% of ⅔ of the 27 LGAs of Imo State. His announcement was a farce. It was a full case of *runoff*

2. It may have not been reasoned or imagined by the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria that there can be 70 candidates in an election as such even while they were creating political parties like sands. Nobody would have won such election by having that stipulated spread. It was an impossible task.

3. Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha got 25% of ⅔ of 14 LGAs instead of 18 LGAs. He had 4 LGAs to go.

4. Sen. Hope Uzodinma brought clear fraudulent and fictitious results of 388 polling units. INEC disowned the results as not theirs.

5. The Supreme Court has no reason to believe Sen. Hope Uzodinma more than the INEC and so ought to have called for a supplementary election.

6. In the 388 polling units results sneaked in by Sen. Hope Uzodinma, many polling units had total number of registered voters about 40% & 50% less than the votes polled by Sen. Hope Uzodinma himself alone. It's a clear case of over voting. The laws are loud in this circumstance.

7. Out of the 388 polling units results tendered by Sen. Hope Uzodinma, about 276 polling units recorded number of votes cast outnumbering the total number PVC collected. How can votes cast in a polling unit be more than the number of PVC collected? This is clear signpost of fraud and over voting.

8. The votes brought in by Sen. Hope Uzodinma in the 388 polling units were approximately 214,000 and the votes in the 276 polling units with votes more than PVC collected were about 176,000. If this is removed, Sen. Hope Uzodinma still will come 4th or highest 3rd in the election.

9. Even when the 214,000 fake votes from the 388 polling units are added to Sen. Hope Uzodinma, he merely would have had 25% spread in only 2 LGAs. So even if he scored the highest number of votes, he was short of the required spread to win the election. This would have also returned him to a *runoff* with Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha.

10. The Supreme Court overreached herself and drank too fat into power drunkenness by usurping the powers of the INEC in declaring Sen. Hope Uzodinma the winner. In the worst case, they would have ordered the INEC to add the 388 polling units votes to Sen. Hope Uzodinma and make necessary considerations.

11. Even if INEC wanted to topple the INEC, they would have done that conclusively by doing the necessary mathematical computations. At least they would have known that Sen. Hope Uzodinma lacked the spread. Ordering someone who had 14 out of the required 18 LGAs out of office and crowning someone who had just 2 out of 18 LGAs as victor is most ridiculous and illegal.

12. Sen. Hope Uzodinma scored 2% in all the rest 25 LGAs but got 99% in just 2 LGAs. What a miracle? Uche Nwosu and his father-in-law who came 2nd in that election are from the same zone as Sen. Hope Uzodinma.

Like the 12 disciples of Christ, the above 12 points are due for the Supreme Court to reset herself and rejig her illegal Consequential Order.

Nevertheless, we all have to call ourselves and consciousness to the development at the Supreme Court of the candidacy of Uche Nwosu which by implication denies Sen. Hope Uzodinma his claim to APC candidacy or candidature.

The Supreme Court stripped Uche Nwosu eligibility because he had nomination of two (2) different political parties viz; the APC and AA. This implies that by that judgment, both the APC and AA have no candidate for the election. This is trite law.

So please tell me why the Supreme Court of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the entire citizenry of Nigeria and Africa by extension won't be knocking at doors of Emeka Ihedioha by now with wines for thanksgiving. At least he stands as a representative of God in trying to save our dear country Nigeria by giving the Supreme Court an opportunity to right her brazen wrong. God is using Gov. Emeka Ihedioha at this crying time to rescue the nation and rebuild her judiciary.

It is therefore very easy and honourable for the Supreme Court to correct herself by returning the statutory powers to INEC and ordering them to add the fraudulent results of the 388 polling units. Or ask INEC to conduct a supplementary election in the 388 polling units. The Supreme Court has no right as well to cancel the entire election but the disputed 388 polling units.

In conclusion therefore, the Supreme Court have been provided a face saving opportunity where they only have 2 options being;

1. Allowing a minimal fraud by adding the result of the 388 polling units which will automatically lead to a runoff.

Or

2. Call for a fresh election in the 388 polling units.

In any of the above, justice would have been seen, at least, to have been approached, no matter how little, than wantonly trashed.
