The North is politically far more advanced than the South. The irony is that they use their errand boys from the South to push forward their manipulative bills. As they feel the hour for a Southerner to become the President has come again, they are now proposing bills to put him under check. I expected Omo Agege to push for a better bill. A bill that will better the lot of an Uhrobo man. A town under his Senatorial District is being decimated by the herdsmen in connivance with the soldiers, he never initiated any bill that will help his dying communities but for the interest of the North.

History repeats itself, in 1963, Emir Sir Muhammadu Sanusi I was dethroned as a result of the power struggle between him and Ahmadu Bello.

57 years later, his son Emir Sanusi Mohammed Sanusi II is dethroned by Governor Ganduje.

What of the cars and presidential fleet your master General Buhari got from Goodluck Jonathan? Give the man a break, he just assumed office and most importantly during Dickson tenure no Commissioner or high Government Official had cars. so what you're seeing playing out is policy shift.

UPDATES: Supreme Court Hears Application For Review Of Judgment Sacking Lyon

https://www.channelstv.com/2020/02/26/updates-supreme-court-hears-application-for-review-of-judgment-sacking-lyon/


The Supreme Court is currently hearing the application for review of the judgment which sacked the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bayelsa state, David Lyon and his deputy, Senator Biobarakuma Degi-Eremienyo.

The APC is seeking a reversal of the judgment which disqualified its candidate David Lyon.

Representing Mr Lyon and Degi-Eremienyo is Afe Babalola, who argued that the apex court has the power to set aside its earlier judgment.

He insisted that the application is not for a review of the judgment but to set aside the judgment sacking Mr Lyon who overwhelmingly won the election.

Mr Babalola added that the judgment of the court delivered on February 13, amounts to a denial of fair hearing.

Justice Sylvester Ngwuta is presiding and is being assisted by six other judges.

In his final submission, Mr Babalola urged the court to reverse its decision.

Also, Wole Olanipekun representing the APC is asking the apex court to set aside its February 13, 2020 judgment on the ground that the court had no jurisdiction to have entertained the appeal in the first place.

He explained that the suit was first filed at the Federal High Court as a pre-election matter, which is the foundation of the matter that made the appeal get to the apex court.

Mr Olanipekun, therefore, restated his argument that the apex court lacks the jurisdiction to entertain the matter.

He added that all humans are fallible so it is not beyond the apex court to make a mistake.

Mr Olanipekun also faulted the interpretation of the judgment of the court by INEC which issued a certificate of return to Senator Douye Diri of the PDP, urging the court to grant the application to set aside its earlier judgment.

Counsel to the PDP, Tayo Oyetibo argued that the application by David Lyon is an invitation to violate the nation’s constitution.

He added that it is also an invitation to the court to ‘sit in judgment’ over its earlier decision which must not be allowed while urging the court to summarily dismiss the application.

Mr Oyetoyibo argued that areas were well considered before the apex court arrived at its decision on February 13, insisting that the court cannot change the operative part of any judgment delivered by the apex court which is the final court in the land.

Citing section 22 of the Supreme Court act, Mr Oyetoyibo said “the court has wild powers to make any order including the order asking INEC to withdraw the certificate issued to David Lyon. The order made by the court was not out of order.”

He explained that the facts and justice of the case warranted the decision of the court and there is no error in it whatsoever.

He added that if any error is felt, it can only be addressed in a future case.

Mr Oyetibo insisted that the grant of this application will engender judicial stability as people will now wait for a possible review before acting on any judgment of the apex court.

He urged the court to dismiss the application and not to disturb the status quo.

Yunus Ustaz Usman who is representing Governor Douye Diri aligned himself with the submissions of Mr Oyetibo, insisting that the court cannot make any order outside the judgment, especially after a full-blown trial.

He reaffirmed the finality of the court as the highest of the land, urging the court to dismiss the application in the interest of the overall survival of the country.

Counsel to Bayelsa Deputy Governor, Mr Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo vehemently opposed the application for a review of the judgment of the apex court and urged the court to dismiss the applications filed by Mr Lyon and the APC for totally lacking in merit.

Chris Uche who is representing Mr Ewhrudjakpo argued that the Supreme court lacks the power to sit on appeal over any judgment delivered by the court.

He added that it is a case of outright abuse of court process, stating that the court must ‘jealously’ guard its judgments otherwise, there will be a floodgate of applications for review which will lead to a bastardization of the judicial process.

He urged the court to resist the dangerous invitation to violate the nation’s constitution.

Present to witness the proceeding is the National Chairman of the APC, Mr Adams Oshiomhole.

Also in the court is the incumbent governor of the state, Senator Douye Diri and the sacked deputy governor-elect, Biobarakuma Degi-Eremienyo.

After all the drama

Empiz:
Based on points Fury won, but on a closer look it seems Wilder won that match with the 12th Round knockdown.
The referee should have started counting immediately fury went down. You can use the timer on YouTube video to take count. You will notice it took fury 10 seconds to fully stand on his feet.
I guess the judges realised this and setteled this match as a draw, which is fair on both boxers. What a match.

oyatz:
All the six judges unanimously gave the Judgement in the Imo State case and I think similar thing happened in Bayelsa State.
A single judge can't make a supreme Court judgement.

fergie001:
She retires by 2022, a year ahead of the present CJN who will leave by 2023.

Olukayode Ariwoola is likely to take over if hierarchy is followed.

Imagine how they delayed the man unnecessarily despite all efforts.. Are they even supposed to arrest Power bike users? Does Power Bike look like a commercial bike?

The Nigerian Police consists of at least 85% gun freaks, trigger happy miscreants and illiterates who just found themselves to be in that Uniform. They miss no opportunity to exhibit their foolishness, greed, incompetence and illiteracy whenever it arises. Lord knows if i had my way into position of power, i will scrap the entire Police force and do a total reset by employing new ones who are more competent, well qualified, enlightened and have undergone proper training...

SoftP:
The Nigeria Judicial system has wholly be compromised.
A country where a president must give his endorsement before a judge is crowned, u expect an employee to work against the interest of his employer.

I keep saying, this Nation is a huge joke. We can’t cry fowl when we are still being ruled by relics

Umartins1:
Na APC governors start am and na dem do am pass

Stalwert:
the same supreme court that is biased against them, the same Bala that has serious fraud charges against him? I hoped PDP rejects this Victory.
