It is the exclusive reserve of the supreme court to decide as final any matter brought before it and it remains final and the law.
The base principal is that a successful litigatant is entitled to the fruit of his judgement Imo case is not an exception Hope Uzodimma as a successful litigatant is the Governor of Imo State. The other contestants slept on their rights. They cannot stay at home fold their hand await the supreme court to make them Governor.
Why are we mayopic the judge ruled in River State case yet her was APC. In this case all justices were unanimous in their judgment.
The resentment over the executive manuver of the dismissal of the former CJN should not used as a parameter for disparaging our erudite jurists. The judgement is sound and respects the legal principle that a party is entitled to the fruit of his judgement and you cannot award to party what he has not asked for. The 2nd and 3rd runner ups decided to give up their rights and cannot complain against the successful party in court.
The supreme court cannot by any imagination award the governorship to a party who is not in court and has no relief before it. That will be a blunder and extravagant abuse of the principles of law.
Let us await the reasons for the judgement.
