The Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed an application filed by the All Progressives Congress asking it to reverse a judgement that sacked David Lyon as governor-elect of Bayelsa State.
The apex court, in the judgement delivered by Ejembi Eko, consequently ordered INEC to withdraw the certificate of return issued to Messrs Lyon and Degi-Eremienyo. They had claimed that Mr Degi-Eremienyo gave false information in his CF 0001 form submitted to INEC.Not satisfied with the apex court’s judgement, APC, through their lawyers, Wole Olanipekun and Lateef Fagbemi, respectively, on February 20, filed their application.
But its judgement on Wednesday, the apex court said, “No force on earth can force the court to change its decision. “Having considered the prayers sought vis-a-vis the positions of the law and the arguments and submissions made by all the parties, it is clear that the two applications lack merit and constitute an abuse of court process.
“It is settled that the decision of this court is final”, she said, “This is final court and its decisions are final for all ages.”
