S’Court to Constitute Full Panel on Uba’s Case:Andy Uba's Supreme Court?

The Supreme Court yesterday ruled that it would constitute a full panel to hear and determine the appeal brought by Chief Andy Uba asking the apex court to set aside its earlier judgment that ousted him as governor of Anambra State.
The incumbent governor of the state, Mr. Peter Obi, however said the issue in the appeal has been foreclosed, adding that any attempt to relitigate on the appeal is a mere abuse and a ploy to embarrass the court and the nation.
The decision of the court to constitute a full panel was based on the request by all the parties to the case who agreed that the best way to deal with the issue in the appeal was to have a full house of the court sitting.
Justice Aloysius Katsina-Alu who presided over yesterday's sitting said there was no point wasting time on hearing the appeal piecemeal and that since parties already indicated readiness to have a full court, their request was granted.

I am probably the least qualified to comment on the goings-on of our dear supreme court. However, the recent macabre dance which the Andy Uba has subjected the honourable justices of the supreme is bearing so much on my sanity. I have to say my mind as a layman not as a 'learned' man.
I was made to understand that the decision of a supreme court is final in any case. I have also observed that this has always been the case even outside Nigeria. I have not heard of a situation where the supreme court was forced to reverse itself. When that is done, it means that the supremacy of the 'supreme' is now questionable. it implies that no should expect a case to end just because the s'court has ruled. That is an invitation to unending litigation.

The council to the defendant in this appeal to me rightly pointed out that appealing to a supreme court is an abuse of court process and an embarrassment to the dignified institution. But who am I to say that the presiding justice was wrong by saying that no process has been abused.

It seems to me that someone is trying to talk from both sides of the mouth. I could remember that when this case of an appeal to set aside the the supreme court ruling was brought up about a year ago, the sitting justices promptly dismissed it as an affront to the presiding jury for alluding that their decision was flawed.(http://www.newswatchngr.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=442&Itemid=47) They insisted that Andy's council should have objected initially not after the ruling. I am wondering what has changed? I want to believe that so much water has not passed under the bridge because I still hold the S'court judges to high esteem. However, it appears to me that the reverse rule of law tantrum which the Federal government has adopted recently with the help of the rogue who parades himself as the chief justice of the federation is closing in on this particular case.

I am thinking that PDP have assumed they will not be able to wrestle Anambra from AC or APGA and have resorted to rule by all means by an alternative and illegal means which will bring this nation to ridicule? Not as if we have not been ridiculed before by their spurious actions.

This present action also suggests that Yar'Adua may have regreted allowing the removal of Uba from Anambra.

The people of Anambra state do not want Andy Uba, why impose him on them? Why the desperation to rule those who do not appreciate you? Andy Uba has subjected and is still subjecting Anambara state people to avoidable hardship due his carefully ochestrated incidences of terror which has he unleashed on the indigenes. He does not care about them he cares about himself.

Andy let Anambra people be. You have stolen enough.
