BEVERLY HILLS, January 20, (THEWILL) – The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has embarked on what it termed “mother of all protest” against
Supreme Court judgement on Imo Governorship appeal.
THEWILL recalls that the Apex court on Tuesday nullified the election of Emeka Ihedioha as the governor of Imo state and declared Senator Hope Uzodinma of the All Progressive Congress (APC) as the winner of the March 19 governorship election.
On Monday, the PDP protesters, all in black attires, began the procession from the party’s campaign headquarters, Legacy House, in Maitama district of Abuja.
The huge crowd of protesters, led by the national chairman of the party, Uche Secondus, armed with placards, waving party flags, took off from the PDP headquarters annex in Abuja, to the Supreme Court to express their dissatisfaction at the judgement of the Imo state governorship appeal.

In Owerri, the Imo State capital, protesters blocked major streets to show their rejection of the ruling.
