[UPDATED] Supreme Court Sticks To Judgement Sacking Lyon As Bayelsa Governor
BREAKING: Supreme Sticks To Judgement Sacking Lyon As Bayelsa Governor


The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld its decision sacking David Lyon as Governor of Bayelsa state.

The Supreme Court dismissed the application of the All Progressives Congress (APC )for its February 13th judgement.

According to Justice Amina Augie who read the judgment, the applications lacked merit, adding that the decisions of the court are final.

She added that the applicants failed to point out errors, stating that the judgment is final for all ages.

The apex court judge said the judgment is final in the ‘real sense’ and no court on earth can review the judgment.

“There must be an end to litigation even if we review this judgment, every disaffected litigant will bring similar applications and the finality of Supreme Court judgments will be lost.”

She added that the applications are frivolous and vexatious and awarded the cost of N10 million against the applicants to be personally paid by their counsel.
