what baffled me the most is the fact that, the 2 renown lawyers are from my state in Ekiti. They ought to have rejected the offer to be their attorneys or counsels in the first place.

After the Supreme court, na God. To think that these lawyers with their calibre in the profession and society can toe this unthinkable path is tantamount to felony. How can any sane lawyer challenge the decision of the supreme court that holds the highest level of appellate decisions? This is the height of impunity that must come with consequences. Kudos to that Justice who's fighting very hard to protect our democracy....God punish the dullard and his messengers, I always wish I can reverse my votes for him all of the times he contested.

The effective difference between Deed Poll and Affidavit is how the documents are authorised. In that case, a court as high as the Supreme Court will only recognises deed poll.

Fulani can do anything to get what they want, including towing the path of injustice and we can see their activities all over the country. Buhari cannot say he's not aware of or did not approve the decision of the party to review the case. No wonder they're planning to give a whooping 100m USD to another fulaniman and courier to Abacha...maybe for a job well done ,loool. With them in power, don't expect any miracle on our economy. Obj came and fixed our economy. Jonarhan also came and did the same. He would probably have been the best president ever, had he not given corruption a chance. He could have tamed those working with him but he didn't.

ajebuter:
Good governance under APC?

Oya, bring your coconut head make l konk am...

Dansuqi:
Obj fixed which economy? Are you OK?

the exact same thing Dele Farotimi accused Afe Babalola of in his book

The Supreme Court, on Wednesday, fined Chief Afe Babalola (SAN) and Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN) N30 million each for agreeing to file an application for the review of the apex court’s judgment on Bayelsa election.

Justice Amina Augie announced the fine while reading the judgment in the applications for a review of its February 13, 2020 judgment which overturned the All Progressives Congress’ victory in the last governorship election in Bayelsa State.

With tears in her eyes, the justice regretted that “very senior” lawyers were responsible for filing the applications.

Subsequently, the apex court awarded the costs of N10m to be personally paid by David Lyon’s lawyer, Chief Afe Babalola (SAN), and APC’s lawyer, 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, bringing the total amount to be paid to N60 million.

She said the applications amounted to an invitation for the apex court to sit in appeal on its own judgment in violation of the Constitution

If the man is truly corrupt and has Supreme court in his pocket,why was he fined and lost unanimously. This means the man wins some and lose some
