The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Monday reiterated its confidence in the possibility of the Supreme Court to reverse its decision on the Imo state governorship election.

The apex court, it would be recalled, had last week nullified the election of Emeka Ihedioha and directed the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to issue a certificate of return to Senator Hope Uzodinma of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Leading a peaceful protest across major flashpoints of Abuja yesterday, national chairman of the PDP, Prince Uche Secondus said all the justices need to do was to review the judgment and correct “the error.”

Joined by prominent party members including the party’s Vice Presidential candidate in the 2019 election, Mr. Peter Obi, Secondus said the protest was intended to draw the attention of the world on the need to safeguard democracy in the country.

The protest which took off at the party’s Presidential campaign headquarters, also known as Legacy House, also took the protesters to the Three Arms Zone, amidst chants of solidarity songs.
