There is tension in both camps of the All Progressives Congress and Peoples Democratic Party as no one can predict where the pendulum will swing.

Supporters of both parties were denied access into the premises of the court.

Recall that Emeka Ihedioha of the PDP was sacked by the apex court on January 14 as governor of Imo State, creating room for Hope Uzodinma of the APC to emerge.

Ihedioha had on February 5, 2020 approached the court for a review of the ruling.
