Nweze has written his name in GOLD.

fergie001:
The Supreme Court, on Tuesday, declined to restore Emeka Ihedioha of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as the Governor of Imo State.

The apex court, in a decision by a seven-man panel of Justices led by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Tanko Muhammad, reinstated the judgement it gave on January 14, which declared Hope Uzodinma of the All Progressive Congress, APC, as the validly elected governor of Imo state.

In the lead verdict that was delivered by Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, the apex court, held that Ihedioha’s application to set-aside the judgement that removed him from office lacked merit.

It held that the application was an invitation for the Supreme Court to sit on appeal over its own final judgement.

Though it dismissed the application, the apex court refused to award cost against the Applicants.

However, a member of the apex court panel, Justice Centus Chima Nweze, disagreed with the lead verdict and gave a dissenting opinion that allowed Ihedioha’s application.

Nweze said he was satisfied that the judgement that declared Uzodinma winner was entered in error.

He held that the apex court has a duty to in the interest of justice, set-aside its decision that was given in error.

Just to be heard. Which does not necessarily mean wining the case.

Orubebe01:

This shows that the supreme court saw that they made mistake in the judgement but there was no way they could admit it so as not to set a bad precedence.

fergie001:

Nope, Enugu.

I think Justice Centus contributed to Ihedioha's new application.

How do you mean?

globemoney:

The justice really embarrassed himself. Showed he is partisan. Ihedioha never won the election in the first place

seunmsg:
Dear Ihedioha, you can appeal to God if you’re not satisfied. You didn’t win the election in the first place and your initial declaration by INEC was a gross abuse of the constitution. Whatever money is left with you, go and be managing it till 2023 when you will have another chance to try your luck again. For now, it’s GOVERNOR HOPE UZODINMA till 2023 .

kahal29:


The major reason he gave for dissenting was one of the new grounds Ihedioha's lawyer Agabi added to the new petition he filed before withdrawing the old one. Besides his wife is a PDP member.

fergie001:

That's a reckless accusation.

Onnoghen as SC judge twice dissented against the PDP's victory against Buhari, so you mean he contributed to the application.

Bulkachuwa's husband is a Senator in the APC.

Adamu Augie's late husband was a Senator in Buhari's party at the time, ANPP.

Odili was a member of the panel that upheld Okororcha'a election in 2011.

Allow laymen like us make this kind of accusations please, not you guys in the profession.

For the Records, Centus Nweze's wife is not a card-carrying member of any party, she is a Deputy-Registrar at the Enugu State High Court.

This goes to show that the supreme court saw that they made mistake in the judgement but there was no way they could admit it so as not to set a bad precedence.

My Oga I strongly feel so

Armaggedon:
a bad precedence is already set. returning officers now have a choice of declaring a candidate winner without meeting geographical spread.

fergie001:

These allegations are too weighty....one idiot will pick it up and propagate it.

Has anyone told you this year that you talk like a fool?
