This particular judgement of the Supreme Court does not require any analysis or analyst, it was in plain simple English;

There can be no further litigation on the status of the Rivers State House of Assembly in any court in Nigeria.

The issue of defection of the lawmakers was carefully considered by the Supreme Court and the court stated clearly that that argument will not even be considered by the court because by the date of the said defection, Governor Fubara was already acting in violation of the constitution and in contempt of the lawful order of a court of competent jurisdiction by his own admission.

The Supreme Court was equally clear, not only is the CBN and the Accountant General of the Federation prohibited from releasing money to the state, but that the state government itself is prohibited from spending and making expenditures without a budget duly passed by the Amaewhule led assembly, which is to begin seating immediately and unhindered. The legal road has come to an expected end. The issue is over, finito, finished.

I had advised earlier that the Governor should negotiate while there is still time, it may appear that window for negotiation is now very narrow, but it may not be completely closed;

The Minister of the FCT already hinted at this when he said that he will not advise the house to commence impeachment proceedings against the Governor. That is a narrow window but too much analysis may close it.

It is time for wisdom to prevail, not empty grandstanding.

One thing is now settled in Rivers State: OCJ Okocha Esq., SAN, is a proven legal luminary!

Those who support Fubara are emergency lovers who came onboard after Wike fought tooth and nail to facilitate his (Fubara) ascension as Governor

After all these fights, Fubara will still rule Rivers State for 8 years as governor.

Absolutely nothing to add. Hopefully, Fubara will accept the reality and stop sinking further.

vanitybutiwanti:
He has already decided not to obey the supreme Court judgement, from next week he plans to start abusing wike and his supporters.

Bobloco:
No one expected justice to be served when the judgment was drafted from the duplexes Wike built for the judges.

bixton:
Why don't we let him finish the first tenure in the remaining days...

He will simply make his impeachment easier and justifiable. When you’re in a hole, you stop digging. I wish him well.

Justnation:
Mr abe go and take a seat among the supreme Court judges because we can see that you know more than the Constitution itself.

favor914:
He did not say everyone will understand, Magnus was not referring to your type, Chief Abe said those with common sense know it is over.

There is a time and season.
OCJ is worth his salt and onions.

Tjra:
Children of bitterness have killed Fubara's political career.
