Supreme court should ask anyone who ever ask for a review of their cases to be sent to jail for abuse of court processes.
What nonsense.

We told them that they can’t get the Supreme Court to reverse itself in a unanimous judgement. It was direct and clear! Otherwise, it would be tantamount to aberration in law. The SC remains the highest court in the land and no OTHER court can upturn its judgement. Perhaps they should go to heaven to review the reviewed SC judgement.




Oh well, if what @ChristianNorth wrote below is anything to go by, then let’s keep our fingers crossed.



Wrong.

The Justices also said that the "...applicants failed to point out errors"

The keyword here is "errors".

The SC can upturn its earlier ruling should there be a proven case of clerical errors, which could render the judgment unsuitable as a precedent for similar future cases..

Wow.

A fine of 10 million bucks to be personally paid by their counsel.

Daniel has come to judge.

Very very excellent.

Let the lawyers bear the fine.

They know by virtue of their education as lawyers that the pronouncement of the Supreme Court is final, but because they want to fleece their client, they deceive them.

Good for the lawyers. Cough up 10 million sharply.

Maybe next time you'll take the case to Supremest Court.

Am telling you,

but this fine (though) too small will serve as a warning to those counsels, who like to show themselves, even when there is no case

Ah

She added that the applications are frivolous and vexatious, and awarded the cost of N10 million against the applicants to be personally paid by their counsel.

This is the keyword

“There must be an end to litigation even if we review this judgment, every disaffected litigant will bring similar applications and the finality of Supreme Court judgments will be lost.”------- Justice Amina Augie

She added even if they review........ “That every disaffected litigant will bring similar applications and the finality of Supreme Court judgments will be lost.”------- Justice Amina Augie

As far as my own perspective, their admittance to errors as the case may be doesn’t amount to upturning of the judgement but to set the records straight for suitable precedence for the future. Having said that, i think the Imo case is quite different. Though I haven’t read the PDP grouse about it.

I kept saying it that David Lyon and APC should forget about the case and begin to prepare ahead of 2023.

That's if the incumbent Governor will be stupid not to make Bayelsans to see and benefit the dividend of miracle.

At least SC was wise enough to put an end to this review. This means IMO state judgement is final. I think SC just used Bayelsa to right the wrong of Imo...
are you high?

Are Bayelsans same as Imolites? Are Imolites same as Bayelsans?

How does that concern the indigenes of the states?

You guys keep seeing things from the eyes of political parties. Every thing to you has to be viewed from 'what party do I belong to' point of view.

This judgement is a slap on the wrist.

It is not enough to slam a lack of merit. From what Justice Augie said, the petitioners could not point out errors in the judgement and it stands for all ages. To prevent lawyers from advising politicians in future to ask the Supreme Court to review it's own judgement and possibly reverse itself, lawyers need to have their licenses withdrawn, outrightly disbarred and fined a percentage of their appearance fees (say 83.5%) and even jailed.

If this is done, no lawyer worthy of his gown would approach the apex court to review/reverse itself.

Doing so outrightly calls to question all the rulings of the Supreme Court. And this would taint the images of Justices Uwais, Aniagolu, Oputa, Irikefe, Olawale Elias, Kayode Eso, Karibi-Whyte and Niki Tobi. There must be an end to indiscipline by lawyers.

You write a thesis and present it, and then someone asks you to review your own thesis. Is that not stupidity? Please, once the Supreme Court gives a judgement, the politicians should appeal to ECOWAS Court; if there is none, then the AU Court or the International Court at the Hague.

I think he was referring to a certain judgement that declared Nwosu ab initio as the valid APC gubernatorial candidate in the election.
If that’s the case, it means Nwosu might be disqualified because he was also the flag bearer of AA party in the said election. Also, the issue of the total number of voters being above the accredited voters doesn’t add up.
If the PDP are able to prove that the judges erred in their earlier judgement, Maybe (just maybe) Uzodinma might be sent packing!

Pdp should just forget imo. No need wasting time.
I like the point that every litigation must have an end.it's only unfortunate that the people both in imo and bayelsa can't have the governors they voted for. uzodima and diri should humble themselves in government because they were never the people's choice.

Finally, democracy worked, democracy is no longer in danger and there's no need to protest and demonstrate in front of the American embassy or to send letters to the UN and the EU.

This is how sad and pathetic the PDP get when court judgements are in their favour, but when not in their favour, heaven must fall, Nigeria is inside shalanga and the rest of the world must run to rescue Nigeria from danger and calamity.


Sad.
