Damian Dodo counsel to Hope Uzodinma stepped into the ring asking the court to dismiss the application for incompetence and lack of merit.

Dodo wouldn’t let go and punched on;

“there is total lack of jurisdiction for this court to revisit its judgment of 14th January 2020 either the application as an application for review or an application for set aside this court has consistently and rightly so held that there is lack of jurisdiction to seek for appeal over its judgment.”

“There is no constitutional backing for this court to review its judgment. Therefore the decision to review is not tenable”

“The votes due to Hope Uzodinma from the 388 polling units were wrongfully excluded. “

“There is no difference between this case and Bayelsa there is no jurisdiction to review and this application falls short of that as it is a nullity”

Dodo pressed on: “The issue of complementing or inconsistent reviews does not arise and its too late in the day to seek review”

“We urge your lordship to take particular note of the fact that the Judgement of the court delivered in January 14th 2020 clearly sets aside all the decisions of the lower court in all its ramifications.”

“This is a clear pronouncement as the judgement is unambiguous”

Justice Tanko proceeded to ask the learned counsel, “are all these contained in your written arguments?” and Dodo responded, “Yes my lord and its a clean sweep”

“We urge most respectfully that our preliminary objection is obtained but will like to say this is an abuse of process”
Re: Imo Election: Supreme Court Set To Hear Ihedioha’s Application by CanadaOrBust:
If the SC let this embarrassment of a judgment stand, two things:
(1) U can no longer tell Nigerians that lying and cheating does not pay when they can see for themselves that the highest court in the land rewards blatant cheating and forgery.
(2) By the precedent set here, any candidate able to obtain INEC documents (usually ruling party candidates) can write any result they wish and the Supreme Court must accept those results no matter how fraudulent or defective they may be, inevitably leading to a one-party country.

Supreme court cannot reverse its judgement,even as the judgement is full of errors. However, it will be noted so as to avoid future occurrence.
U people always say this and it is not true.

Olorunfemi v Asho
This is yet another case in which the Supreme Court took the bold position to set aside its earlier decision. The Supreme Court set aside its judgment delivered in January 8, 1999 on the ground that, it failed to consider the respondents’ cross–appeal before allowing the appellant’s appeal.

Johnson v Lawanson
Coker J.S.C. delivering the court’s judgment held that “when the court is faced with the alternative of perpetuating what it is satisfied is an erroneous decision which was reached per incuriam and will, if followed, inflict hardship and injustice upon the generations in the future or of causing temporary disturbances of rights acquired under such a decision, I do not think we shall hesitate to declare the law as we find it.” The court then ordered that the appeal be re-heard de novo by another panel of Justices of the Supreme Court.

You pray Ihedioha gets justice but celebrate when Lyon of Bayelsa State case was strock out for lack of merit and the layers were fined, for same supreme court error.
How will the supreme Court keep their face to reverse these ruling? That will be a joke of the century
Stop being ignorant.
The Bayelsa judgement was without ambiguity...Lyon and his deputy ran on a JOINT ticket and hence got disqualified JOINTLY for the latter's certificate forgery.

As for the fine imposed on Wole and Babalola, that was for filing for a review which was deemed frivolous, as they could not point to any clerical error committed by the SC in that judgement.

The case of IMO was a complete mis-carriage of justice, as evident in the multiple errors made besides other bizarre pronouncements that have no basis in our laws.

I have a question for you.....Does the constitution prevent the supreme court from changing its initial stance? YES or NO?

NO.
The Supreme Court has the power to set aside its judgement, and rehear same under the following circumstances:
1. Where there is a clerical mistake in the judgement or Order,
2. Where there is an error arising from an accidental slip or omission,
3. Where there arises the necessity for carrying out its own meaning and to make its intention plain,
4. Where any of the parties obtained judgement by fraud or deceit;
5. Where such a decision is a nullity,
6. Where it is obvious that the Court was misled into giving the decision under a wrong belief that the parties consented to it,
7. When the judgement was given without jurisdiction,
8. Where the procedure adopted was such as to deprive the decision or judgement of the character of a legitimate adjudication,
9. Where the writ or application was not served on the other party, or there is denial of fair hearing and
10. Where the decision/judgement is contrary to public policy and will perpetuate injustice.

As much as i want Ihedioha to become governor of imo state,the supreme court has made a stance whether right or wrong which can be corrected in subsequent matters similar to this!
Any attempt to reverse their initial stance will throw up more reviews and they will end up being deprived of their supremacy!
