, Emeka Ihedioha, through his lead counsel, Chief Kanu Agabi , said the disputed judgment of January 14, 2020, was obtained by fraud.
He said, “We are not here to challenge the supremacy of this court. We acknowledge the supremacy of this court. This court is supreme and your judgments are final.Osun reverses Aregbesola’s single uniform, middle schools, retains Opon ImoOn the allegation of fraud, he said, “At least 34 times, reference was made to 388 polling units where the respondents said their results were excluded.
“They stigmatised the election as invalid. Being invalid how could it be the grounds upon which they are elected? If an election is invalid it should result in its nullification. “We are crying and we have come before to you, do not do like my father did. Do not beat us like my father did.” He said, “The thrust of this objection is that there is a total lack of jurisdiction to revisit its judgment of January 14, 2020.
Citing Order 8 Rule 16 of the Supreme Court rules which stipulates the exceptional circumstances where the court could set aside its judgment, Dodo said, “There is no doubt as to the intention of the court. Therefore, the invitation for review is not tenable.
