Exactly......One from SE..and the other from NC, because Ngwuta will also be leaving next year.

Bamidele however explained that, “the reason why the North-Central zone has two Justices unlike other zones, can be attributed to the fact that during the selection process, the nomination from the zone was stood down by the selection Committee for a further review of the nomination by the Federal Judicial Service Commission.”
They didn't follow due process, so they tried to push in a name last minute which didn't sail through.
They didn't clear Abdullahi on TIME.

They have to wait for another NJC selection exercise to do the needful.

I will not say he was dropped.
4 names were sent to the President who forwarded same to the Senate. If any other name was sent later, it wasn't made public.
That is the best I know. Hopefully, next year Maiwada will be there.

Buhari too wants to PACK THE SUPREME COURT before he leaves office, like DOnald Trump!
To Dictators and Despots.
Why should we have three Northerners, One South West, One Eaet and One South-South in the Supreme Court?
This Zoning SCAM was designed by the Northern Military like Babangida and Abacha, empty land space forming Zones.

The reps didn't....It only scaled through first reading which isn't open for debate.

It will still go through two very debatable readings...then it will go through same hurdle at the Senate, and then to the President.

This tenure might be over before it even gets through the Senate.

On a personal note, I don't expect it to get passed.

Besides ASUU, many Agencies of the federal government rejected IPPIS as a mode of Salary payment. The likes of NNPC, CBN, DPR, PPRA, PEF, PTI, NNRA, Nigeria Army,INEC etc.

They insisted that they have laudable and robust payroll system and that their peculiar Salary parameters would not fit into the proposed IPPIS. Today these agencies are comfortably left out of IPPIS trap.

Bros, stop fake news, Nigerian army are part of ippis,

The Constitution says the Supreme Court should have a maximum 21 Judges.

The rule is that all 6 Zones will have 3, then on certain circumstances 4.

The SW had 3 then plus 1 now.
The NW had 1 plus 3 now., That is 4...check very well (not 5)
The NE had 2, plus 2...that is 4.

The NC's was an administrative error which will most likely be corrected soonest.

She is, but went through the SE-position because as at that time, there was no opening for SS, and she entered the Judiciary before marriage.

Sen. Ngige (then of Anambra Central) under ACN heavily opposed it at the Senate, but he was in the minority.
