Supreme Court Dismisses Lyon And APC’s Application For Lacking In Merit by fergie001: 2:16pm On Feb 26, 2020
The Supreme Court has dismissed an 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.

According to Justice Amina Augie who read the judgment, the application lacks merit, adding that the decisions of the court are final.

She added that the applicants failed to point out errors, stating that the judgment is final for all ages.

The apex court judge said the judgment is final in the ‘real sense’ and no court on earth can review the judgment.

“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.”

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.

Wole olanipekun: I am experienced and I think you should accept it as a mistake.

Afe Babalola: We re big wigs and we know what we re here for.

Justice Amina: You can only change your wives opinion not mine, You think you re big ? I will cut your rank, Out of my sight shocked

But women re wicked sha, They will Embarrass you when you want to show you re a man.

“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.”

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.

ChristianNorth:
Exactly what I said. Reversing its judgement in Bayelsa will make the court lose what makes it final.

In IMO, we are not asking the court to set aside itself but to enforce its earlier judgment that declared Nwosu as the rightful candidate of APC.

This automatically will return Ihedioha.

PDP is coming

Well this was expected...

If they had ruled otherwise, they would open an unending floodgate of litigation that would see the nation pushing for another higher court to re-check the supreme court ruling...

However, I think the case of Imo state is a different case and Ihedioha might actually win the day!

Let's keep our fingers crossed!

Only a pained party will ask for a review grin

Now they are going to pay N10million naira for daring the Apex court to review her judgement.
Law is a beautiful profession. Atiku's lawyers who are hoping for a review and are about to swindle him for the fourth time will be so vexed after reading the justice response from the 3rd to the last paragraph.

Let me thank the SC for maintaining its stand and its supremacy.

I thank all here on NL who participated in this discourse whilst it was on. Let me also thank all the NL legal gurus who participated in this process...for or against

vicdom dansuqi kahal29 ejimatic ChristianNorth agborojietiye Lostz, and many others too numerous to mention.

Let me officially congratulate the miracle Gov Diri and the people of Bayelsa, and in other words stretch out to Govs Uzodinma, Matawalle, President Buhari likewise for officially retaining their seats for the upcoming reviews which will be pooh-poohed and thrown out the window.


She said, “There must be an end to litigation, the decision of the Supreme Court is final for ages in a matter.”

She said that with tears in her eyes she regretted that “very senior” lawyers were responsible for filing the applications.

The apex court awarded the costs of N10m to be personally paid by Lyon’s lawyer, Chief Afe Babalola (SAN), and APC’s lawyer, Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN).

It ruled that each of the lawyers must pay the N10m to each of the three respondents – the Peoples Democratic Party, Governor Duoye Diri, and the Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State, Lawrence Ewhruojakpo. Punch

NB: Olanipekun 10million, Afe Babalola will pay 20million naira each from their pockets.
