The Bishops of Anglican Church on Wednesday rejected the Supreme Court judgment on the Imo State governorship election.

The apex court had a fortnight ago sacked
Emeka Ihedioha and installed Senator Hope
Uzodinma as the new governor of the state.
Rejecting the judgment as “wicked and corrupt,”

the bishops warned that failure to reverse the
decision could attract the wrath of God on the
Supreme Court justices.

The clerics also called for the immediate
resignation of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Mohammed, saying he is not qualified to head the nation’s judiciary.

The Anglican bishops, who spoke through the
Archbishop of Enugu Province, Dr. Emmanuel
Chukwuma, described the judgment as kangaroo and unacceptable to the people of Imo State.

He said: “I am speaking the minds of most of the Bishops of the Anglican Church that we are very much discontented and very much in
disagreement with the kangaroo judgment of the Supreme Court on what has happened in Imo State.

“We sincerely feel disappointed with the Chief
Justice of Nigeria who has not got his facts
correct and we feel that that judgment is wicked and corrupt.”
