The Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed the application filed by Emeka Ihedioha to review the judgement on the Imo State Governorship election.

TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, who delivered the lead judgement said there is no constitutional provision for the apex court to sit on appeal over its own judgement.

He ruled that the court does not have the competence to review it's own judgement, stressing that the finality of the Supreme Court is entrenched in the Constitution, so that the inherent powers of the court does no… https://www.thenewsguru.com/features/politics/article/breaking-supreme-court-gives-reasons-for-dismissing-ihediohas-application-for-review/

We don't expect the Supreme court which is the highest court in the land to review a case which judgement has been passed already. that will only portray the judges as incompetent and lacking in merit.

Ok, So there was No review at all, Because SC not permitted to review itself, But one of the justice disagreed, So no cost Awarded.

So unfortunate, whatever their reason are they can shove it down there throat

Are they not incompetent and lacking in merit to give such a decision in the usual guise of technicalities without thinking it through?

What they have just said is that there was no review at all. They simply wasted tax payer money after making the greatest blunder in the judicial history of electoral litigation.

The Supreme Court boxed itself into a tight corner. That is why they are even ashamed of penalizing the PDP lawyers as they did for that of Bayelsa. They knew they grossly goofed in the judgement they passed in Imo and they tactfully wriggled themselves out of the mess by claiming that the judgement of the supreme court is final.

What a shame! The harm has been done and Nigeria will surely face some challenges in the international market and politics.

Bunch of mathematically deficient Judges.

In essence there was no review.

The Injustice is still glaring and will continue to hunt all you supreme Court Injustices save for justice Nweze who cited instances in UK, Australia etc for review.

These errors in gown exploited the Constitution lacuna to sell judgement to APC.

Karma forgets Not.


Those who think boko were killing Christians then, are now contending with boko + bandits. Karma shall visit you Injustices one by one

So with new evidence, they will still not review the cas. Na wow for 9ja, is that how it been don in where we borrowed our Constitution

See Africa and law lol democracy is for white people, black can decieve them selves all they like

Even when a clear error has been committed,akin to a fraudulent judgement?
It's like endorsing criminality.
So any big money bag can settle 6 SC justices to deliver a fraudulent judgement,knowing that no matter how obvious the fraud,it cannot be reviewed by them,claiming a shallow and nonsensical finality of their judgement.
This is indeed a zoo.

Some of you will be typing trashes because you have access to data. Which international market are you referring to, is it Alábá international market or Ọja Ewi International market?

So if the Supreme Court sentences someone to death and a new strong evidence comes up exonerating the person, this is what these bunch of fools will be saying? Gush! For all those in support of these proclamations, Let all your situations in life be judged as the Supreme Court just did. Amen

The Supreme Court is like that parent who never apologizes even when they are wrong

Na wa o! ...see as IPOB n PDP full this thread.

Hehehehe

Sad moment for Democracy

If that is the case, why are they accepting to sit for a review when they know the judgement is final.

The Truth is, there is Law and there is Justice. Both do not mix. While Justice is an expression of a society's conception of morality, Law is rather the expression of the balance of power at a given point in time. This is how Slavery had a legal structure: not because it was just (or it reflected any justice) but because the balance of power was in favour of the slave masters.

In the case of Bayelsa and Imo states, Buhari and his cabals took into consideration the balance of power and chose to sacrifice Bayelsa State in order to keep Imo State. By sacrificing Bayelsa, Buhari killed 2 birds with one stone: preventing the opposition from claiming the court only support APC and at the same time giving GEJ a deep hurting blow damaging thus his aura and legacy. In the meantime the current regime keeps Imo State which is critical for its future goals and ambition.

Until you understand the game you can't be a winner.

His disagreement is a non issue here,6 to 1, means he is irrelevant, he is PDP apologist,as if Hope is not Igbo.We said it million x,SC will never review itself.

See them,is good for Bayelsa,but is Bad for Imo.And Buhari said Nigerian youth are lazy lots and u are abusing him to high heaven.Is Hope a Yoruba/Fulani?

In western countries , there is always a review, of cases by their supreme court's, once there is a new evidence , especially in murder cases, where a convict is serving a long term.

Those guys are not learned as the claim, I don't know how they were appointed in the face place, the law is made for human and not human for the law.

It seems the Igbos are quite different from the rest of Nigerians from the way the reason, check all their views on the Nigerian state,. I am not saying they are superior, but Las Las ,they are always right.

ofcus the judges were incompetent, how can someone who's not a partaker in an election be the beneficiary? Nigeria is completely gone without hope
