What happened in Imo state is a rape of democracy. It proved that you don't even need to campaign, just wait and use the courts to subvert the wishes of the people. Democracy is dead in Nigeria, just like every other sector. 100 Likes 11 Shares |

Its a mighty relief to know Mike Ozekhome is not a lost cause and still has some brain cells left. I am still trying to reconcile how some people reasoned that it is possible to review a SUPREME Court judgment simply because they are butthurt at the courts decision. Ironically, these same elements will gather and thoughtlessly call our darling President "undemocratic".

Whoever told PDP that Supreme Court may or can reverse itself my be good at lies. PDP just demonstrated ignorance even if it's just to prevent Sokoto and Benue Judgement from going 'south'. PDP should learn playing opposition Racoon: Am not saying Supreme Court is barred from overruling itself, what am saying is that it cannot be forced by public protest and jamboree to reverse itself. PDP should have presented facts to those that can provoke actions not protest to those that can invoke sympathy. Each case should be view clause by clause for it's merit and not blanket application 9 Likes 1 Share |

fulanimafia:Actually the Supreme Court can change a judgment based on new evidence and/or clerical error. In the case of Hope and Ihedioha, the argument of total accredited voted vs total votes casted can be viewed as a clerical error that was not considered by the court as these numbers are an aberration to the constitution which the Supreme Court draws its powers from 7 Likes 3 Shares |

omowolewa:Almost 50 years ago, we had the case of Johnson v Lawanson (1971) 7 NSCC 82 where the Supreme Court found cause to overrule itself. In that case, Justice G.B.A Coker of the Apex Court made the point that “when the court is faced with the alternative of perpetuating what it is satisfied is an erroneous decision which was reached per incuriam and will, if followed, inflict hardship and injustice upon the generations in the future or of causing temporary disturbances of rights acquired under such a decision, I do not think we shall hesitate to declare the law as we find it.” What the above implies is that the convention that Courts do not reverse themselves has exceptions; one of which is that a party is allowed to seek a revisit of a decided case if the decision was arrived at by fraud or deceit or in earnest, when there are clerical errors in the judgment This is not a political party thing but the legal precedence this illegality will set.Remember people will make reference to it for a long time to come. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Adesanya [1989] 13 NWLR (Pt.109) 250 at page 275A Justice Oputa also known as the 'Socrates' of the Supreme Court considered the powers of the Supreme Court (as the final Court in the land) to review its earlier decisions and said: "We are final not because we are infallible; rather we are infallible because we are final.
