Samuel Anyanwu, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the recent Imo State governorship election, has rejected the Appeal Court’s ruling affirming Hope Uzodimma of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as governor. Anyanwu described the verdict as a distraction and vowed to take his case to the Supreme Court.

The Appeal Court in Abuja, on Tuesday, July 16, dismissed Anyanwu’s appeal against Uzodimma’s election.
Despite this, Anyanwu expressed confidence in reclaiming his mandate at the Supreme Court, stating that the people of Imo would eventually see justice served.
“This Appeal Court judgment is merely a tactic to delay justice. We will not let them succeed. Our legal team will thoroughly review the judgment and take the necessary steps. We assure our supporters in Imo State and across Nigeria that we will have the last laugh,” Anyanwu declared.

He continued, “while this judgment appears to legalize illegality, we still believe in a judiciary with integrity and a conscience. We are confident that higher courts will rectify the lower courts’ mistakes and deliver justice.”
Anyanwu called on PDP members and supporters nationwide to remain calm and assured them of his unwavering efforts to recover what he considers a stolen mandate.
