BREAKING: Supreme Court dismisses APC’s application to review Bayelsa judgment

The Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed the applications for a review of its February 13, 2020, judgment which overturned the All Progressives Congress’ victory in the last governorship election in Bayelsa State.

Justice Amina Augie who read the lead judgment said the applications amount to an invitation for the apex court to sit in appeal on its earlier judgment in violation of the Constitution. She said granting the applications would open a floodgate for the review of decisions of the Supreme Court. She said that with tears in her eyes she regretted that “very senior” lawyers were responsible for filing the applications.

Very good. Now Adams Oshimole can go and hug a transformer for all I care.

Lesson let the names in document be consistent even if any error clearly back it up with court affidavit.

It ended I tears chai it’s good for them

Very nice

Where is Justice Adams OshiOMOLE,was he not on the Bench and why was he excluded from the panel that sat on the matter. At least,he would have given a dissecting judgement in favour of OfficialAPCNg.OfficialPDPNig Tanko is a good man now abi?

Good judgement

Good

Format. So that we will think there is transparency. No be today, its sad that he is just the scape goat. I'm sure they'll compensate him later with one ministerial appointment

They can't risk it else the review of presidential election.

When is he vacating his senate seat?. Please they should save the court the time and stress by asking him to do the needful also.

I still don’t get this whole outlandish process of contesting a Supreme Court judgement The ONLY entity constitutionally empowered with unappealable & absolutely binding final say on ALL matters brought before it But APC & PDP are appealing...To who?

Now democracy is working abi

The Supreme court should do & remove Buhari...he is in charge but not in control...the apex court should know when to save a nation from imminent collapse.

Democracy is now in order wait for Imo and hear democracy been killed

I'm happy that, my worries had been put to rest. however, the political class must hence, use this review judgment, as a guide to all their self conduct and, as a matter of importance, retrace their steps from hitting up the polity.

BashirAhmaad I am waiting for you to retweet this....You're do i well

How on earth do they expect the supreme court to set aside its own judgment. Despite not been a lawyer, common sense tells me this is DOA. They were suppose to petition NJC instead. Provided they are sure they have a case.

But the supreme Court cannot set aside it's own judgement..or else there won't be an end to litigation..why is an application to review judgement addressed in the first place🙄🙄..this buhari regime keep making a mess of the judiciary..SMH

I know this will happen. Buhari is at stake.

Double wahala for dead body 😂😂😂

Perfect. Otherwise there won't be Supreme court again. Everybody will be going for review.

Did you forge your certificate? Yes or No. That allegation is straight forward. Fact challenge not technical. All you need is to prove the court wrong

It is during Buhari confused regime that we are seeing the Supreme Court hearing the already delivered judgement again and again... NDI ALA

Asides the N30million fine...the counsel should also be suspended from legal service. Arrant nonsense!

Ask Them To Pay N30M For Seeking A Review Of The Earlier Judgement

Instead of them to correct their errors of presenting fake certificate and affidavit candidates,they are seeking redress.. Shameless sets of leaders leady ill-mannered party.

It is pivotal for Democracy
