Supreme Court has given its final verdict on Zamfara APC judgment review.
Newsone Nigeria reports that the Supreme Court has dismissed the application for judicial review filed by the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Zamfara State against Senator Kabiru Marafa and 179 others.
This burgeoning online news platform understands that the apex court in a lead judgment delivered by Justice Inyang Okoro held that the application is a vexatious, frivolous and gross abuse of court process.
Subsequently, the Supreme court awarded the cost of N2m to be paid by the applicant to the 1st to 140th respondents.
Furthermore, Justice Okoro held that the apex court lacks the jurisdiction to entertain an application seeking a review of its own judgment as the finality of the judgment of the supreme court is sealed and cannot be reviewed under any guise.
On the other hand, Justice Centus Nweze, however, disagrees with the other members of the panel as he reads a dissenting judgment upholding the application of the APC.
Justice Nweze insists that it is better to admit an error instead of justifying an error that fails to represent justice. He adds that the Supreme Court can reverse itself.
The Supreme Court judge further insists that the judgment of the court favours the PDP who was not a party to the suit in the first place and orders the setting aside the earlier judgment of the court
