In two unanimous judgments on Monday morning, a five-man panel of the Supreme Court upheld two appeals by Wike, with which he challenged the leave granted to Elvis Chinda by the Court of Appeal.
Earlier this year, just before the governorship election in the State, the Federal High Court dismissed the suit, a decision Chinda appealed at the Court of Appeal, Abuja. The Governor objected to the amendment sought by Chinda on the grounds that he applied to amend, outside the time allowed by law for him to appeal the judgement of the Federal High Court.
In its lead judgment authored by Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, but read by Justice Paul Galumje, the Supreme Court set aside the leave granted Chinda by the Court of Appeal to amend his notice of appeal.
