This was contained in a letter addressed to the Supreme Court justices ahead of the ruling on the review application on Monday.
In the letter made available to reporters, the diaspora group said Ihedioha’s mandate should be restored alongside the integrity of the judiciary.
The diaspora group further told the Supreme Court that it was “the last line of defence for preserving the integrity of Nigeria’s judiciary, sanctity of the ballot, the fledgling democracy and averting anarchy in the country.”
The letter added, “May God give you the courage to remain the bastion of justice for the common man.
“Do hearken to the supplication of Ndi Imo for the restoration of he who shares their values and whom they voted for- Emeka Ihedioha.”
The apex court will on Monday hear and make pronouncements on the application filed by Emeka Ihedioha and his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
In the application, they want the court to set aside its earlier judgement of January 14 that sacked Ihedioha and pronounced Uzodinma as the authentic Governor of the State.
The Supreme Court has again adjourned the judgement review in the Imo governorship election to Tuesday, March 3.
A seven-man panel led by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Tanko Muhammad, presided over the session where the review was adjourned.
Kanu Agabi (SAN), represented the applicant, Emeka Ihedioha while Damian Dodo (SAN), represented Governor Hope Uzodimna.
Taminu Inuwa represented the third respondent, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Ihedioha’s counsel, Agabi prayed the court to further adjourn till Tuesday to enable them prepare their arguments adequately.
“If it is convenient to you my Lord, we can come tomorrow so that we can look at the issues,” Kanu said.
But Damian Dodo, Uzodinma’s counsel objected to the request, adding that they were prepared to debate the issues today.
