But Uzodimna’s lawyer, Damian Dodo asked the court to dismiss those applications for in lacking merit.

He argued that the Supreme Court judgement was a ‘tsunami’, adding that it overrules every order of the lower court.

Ihedioha’s lawyer, Kanu Agabi, claimed that fraud is evident in the judgement, as Uzodinma claimed he was excluded from 388 polling units but tendered results from only 366 polling units.

He added that with the addition of votes from 388 polling units in favour of Uzodinma exceeds the total number of accredited voters by 129,000 votes.

Uzodinma’s lawyer countered, saying the application lacked merit and asked the court to dismiss it.
