Breaking: Supreme Court dismisses Ihedioha’s review application

The Supreme Court has dismissed the application filed by Mr Emeka Ihedioha asking the court to set aside its January 14 judgement that sacked him as the governor of Imo state.

Justice Olukayode Ariwoola who delivered the judgement says there is no constitutional provision empowering the Apex Court to sit on appeal over its own judgement.

He ruled that the court does not have the competence to review its own judgment.

According to justice Ariwoola, the finality of the Supreme Court is entrenched in the constitution so the inherent powers of the court does not allow it to review or set aside its own judgement
