The former governor of Imo State, Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, has dismissed rumours that he was planning to withdraw his application for review of the January 14 Supreme Court ruling that sacked him and installed Hope Uzodinma as governor.
Ihedioha is asking for reversal of the judgement, alleging errors in it.
The rebuttal is contained in a statement by the Director General of Ihedioha Campaign Organisation, Dr. Vin Udokwu, on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Ihedioha’s supporters have embarked on fasting and prayer for their principal to triumph at the apex court.
They held prayer sessions at the Kanu Nwankwo Sports Centre, Owerri, asking God to restore their principal to the Douglas House.
Also debunking the rumoured withdrawal, the immediate past Commissioner for Health described the rumour as mere wishful thinking, cheap propaganda and the mother of all lies.
He said: “My attention has been drawn to the online news that I addressed the teeming supporters of Emeka Ihedioha, who gathered at the Kanu Nwankwo Sports Centre today for a prayer session, informing them of the intention and indeed the decision of Ihedioha to withdraw the matter at the Supreme Court coming up on Monday, March 2, 2020.
“I hereby state once again that this is cheap propaganda and the mother of all lies.”
