Afirca Press-Nigeria:
A Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed a suit seeking to sack Imo Governor Hope Uzodinma.
Justice Okon Abang dismissed the suit in a ruling on Tuesday after the plaintiff applied to withdraw it on the grounds that issues submitted for determination were already before the Supreme Court.
Justice Abang described the suit as a mere waste of the court’s time and awarded cost at N500, 000 each in favour of 1st, 2nd and 7th defendants.
The candidate of the Reform and Advancement Party (RAP) in the last governorship election in Imo State, Kingdom Nnamdi Okere, had filed a suit asking the court to stop Uzodinma from further acting in the capacity of governor.
