Amori had approached the court to review the judgment it delivered against him in favour of Senator Omo-Agege. It will be recalled that the Court of Appeal had on December 19, 2015, sacked Amori from the Senate and ordered the swearing-in of Omo-Agege in his place, following the suit brought before it by the latter. Delivering its judgment, a member of the 5-man reconstituted panel, Justice Raphael Agbo, said that the court lacked the jurisdiction to review the judgment as it upheld the decision of the first panel which declared Omo-Agege as winner. Saying that what Amori wanted the court to do was to manufacture jurisdiction to hear his application, Agbo said the applicant cannot use them to get jurisdiction in this matter. Reacting to the judgement, Senator Omo-Agege said he had always had faith and confidence in God and the judiciary. He said that the judgment was a confirmation of the doggedness of the judiciary which he said “remains the hope of the common man.” Also, his senior legislative aide, Efe Duku, commended the judgment.]]>
