Senior Advocate of Nigeria Afe Babalola says that Kwara State Governor, Abdurahman AbdulRazaq, lacks the powers to review the Supreme Court judgment on a land dispute involving Offa and Erin-Ile in the state.
Babalola, who said no individual could review the judgment of any court, said, “I was the one who handled the matter in 1971 before Justice Funsho Daramola Panel of Inquiry and we won. “Later, the Supreme Court, the highest judicial body in the land, gave favourable judgement to Erin-Ile on the same matter in 1973. ”
Babalola spoke in Ado-Ekiti on Saturday while responding to complaints by a delegation from Erin-Ile that the Kwara State Government had refused to implement the Supreme Court judgment and had rather set up a committee to review the land dispute. Babalola said, “Nobody, no matter how highly placed, can review what the Supreme Court had said. That can’t happen.
