Imo Judgement Review: Why Is PDP and Ihedioha's Lawyer Asking For More Time? by kahal29: 11:02am On Feb 18, 2020
Just wondering....... Ihedioha and his party {PDP] have been calling for a review, protesting everywhere and telling everyone who cares to listen as to how they were robbed of their mandate in Imo.

Now the Supreme court set today the 18th day of February for the hearing of their application and it turned out they were not ready to proceed with the review. According to reports by channels TV their lawyer Kanu Agabi started by asking for more time to file more papers which I think they forgot to file while protesting at various embassies.

Are they really ready for this review? Or as Clevite a Nairalander opined....... Now they realize they need to file more documentary evidence; the documents they didn't know they should have filed from the inception of the case from Tribunal till it was finally determined at the Supreme Court. A case of systematic re-litigating of the case in the guise of a review.


Let's discuss...... what do you think might be responsible for this delay tactics by Ihedioha and his team of audio lawyers?

Is it a case of trial after trial. Thank God the supreme court justices are wise. At least they can see through their legal tricks. Imagine asking for an adjournment even in a hearing for review.

They have spent the whole time garnering peoples sentiments and pity.

Unfortunately, the law is not based on sentiments or people's sympathy, rather on facts.

Eteka1:
This case is supposed to be statue barred and time has elapsed.

What people don't understand is that the supreme court cannot relitigate or retry this Imo case again which includes determining the question of whether Hope met the required spread or not. The reason is because

1. The Supreme court is not a trial court

2. Time for trial and calling of expert witnesses who will answer the mathematical question of spread has elapsed even if wants to answer the question of the spread.

3. Ihedioha and his team had all the opportunity in the world to scrutinize and discountenance Hope Uzodinma result and even go a step further to show that even with his so-called result that he cannot be declared a governor based on his inability to meet the required spread but they didn't do that but was waiting for the courts to descend on the arena to do their job for them.

4. Besides the question of whether Hope Uzodinma met the required spread or not was never an issue at the trial stage and even at the point the supreme court delivered its judgment so could not rule on it,

So, determining the constitutional issue of spread at this stage would involve calling witnesses from both sides which means re-litigating and retrying the matter again.

Increases were recorded in all COICOP divisions that yielded the Headline index.

On a month-on-month basis, the Headline index increased by 0.87 percent in January 2020, this is 0.02 percent rate higher than the rate recorded in December 2019 (0.85) percent.

The percentage change in the average composite CPI for the twelve months period ending January 2020 over the average of the CPI for the previous twelve months period was 11.46 percent, showing 0.06 percent point from 11.40 percent recorded in December 2019.

This is higher than 11.83 percent reported in December 2019, while the corresponding rural inflation rate in January 2020 is 11.04 percent compared to 11.00 percent recorded in December 2019.

Food Index

The composite food index rose by 14.85 percent in January 2020 compared to 14.67 percent in December 2019.

State Profiles

In analyzing price movements under this section, note that the CPI is weighted by consumption expenditure patterns which differ across states.

On month on month basis, however, January 2020 all items inflation was highest in Ondo (2.17%), Anambra (2.04%) and Bauchi (1.81%), while Benue (0.04%) recorded the slowest rise on month on month inflation with Kogi and River recording price deflation or negative inflation (general decrease in the general price level or negative inflation rate).

All those people commenting above cannot specifically tell us why Ihedioha' s lawyer ask for adjournment but rather they went on spewing insult.

The SC allowing them more time is simply an academic exercise. The supreme court is not open to new litigation but a review of it's previous Judgement. Not based on new facts but on facts already available during the past Judgement and seeing if they might have missed something in the process.

Anything coming in as a fresh litigation would be thrown out without thinking twice and the initial Judgement would stand.

Ihedioha is wasting his time
