The decisions of the Supreme Court on Zamfara, Imo and Bayelsa states Governorship positions have elicited mixed reactions from lawyers and non-lawyers alike.

Multiple applications seeking the Apex Court to reverse itself on those decisions are pending before them.

A legal luminary, Mr. J.S. Okutepa SAN, has in reaction said those applications ought not to be condoned as it would make a mockery of our judicial system.

In the words of the learned silk:

“The call for review is a mockery of our judicial system. It should not be condoned. Supreme Court must be firm in other to avoid further ridiculing of our justice system.

While I may not agree with some of the decisions of the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court must not allow itself to be further ridiculed by the political class.

Nigerian political class has brought our justice system to a low level.

The Supreme Court should not be further ridiculed please”
