Obviously, the SC is not in any position to review or admit that they screw up, it's like asking them to admit that they are useless and incompetent even though the judgements was obviously flawed and unconstitutional.

...but I do agree with them that the SC is the last stop in all legalities in Nigeria and the culture of running back to the SC for ridiculous reviews must stop.

The SC's decision is and must remain the last say regardless of the decisions they render.

What our lawmakers must do right now is to amend the constitution and electoral laws to prevent the SC from installing or removing people from office or picking governors instead of the people by via the ballot box.

Questionable elections must be sent back to the ballot for a re-run for the people to vote and select their own leaders instead of the SC truncating democracy by deciding and dictating for the people.

We have a lot of work to do in this country.

Sadly for Ihedioha with this ruling, it's the end of the road.

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.

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

Maybe we should have a more superior court and do away with this overrated supreme court of Nigeria cos ayam not understanding this review in an apex court ruling.

Let's wait and hear what the Darling President is about to say.

Guess he will call the Judge IPOB now.

chiboyo:
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!

CarlosTheJackal:
Itsme01 said Wole Olanipeku has never lost an electoral case but not only did he lose this, he has been asked to pay 10 million naira for frivolous case

ChristianNorth:

smirn:
The next phase of the Bayelsa case is going to be a fresh case whether INEC was right to return the PDP candidate based on the earlier SC judgement which ordered Inec to issue certificate of Return to the candidate with next highest votes and REQUIRED SPREAD. The point here is whether The PDP candidate got the required spread by law. The SC have settled the case of forgery, so the battle is still on Whether INEC acted based on the SC ruling.

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!

vicdom:

Oga, I have been saying this for umpteenth time. SC will dismiss all these cases of review of a thing. Leave sentiments apart and look inward from an objective perspective.

ok ,but I thought , uche nwosu withdrew

Yours is a very childish comment

Lostz:
I think Osho and sylva should take responsibility not him. Osho should have screen him properly but he was only after Sylva bribe money.



we will wait for Imo. I just need an explanation; even if they don't reverse the judgement
