The Supreme Court Review Applications Are For Selfish Interest Of Politicians, The Applications Should Be Treated With Contempt —Prof. Ojukwu, SAN

An Erudite Professor of Law, Ernest Ojukwu, SAN has bared his mind on the many applications that have been filed before the Supreme Court seeking review of its Judgements.

The teacher is of the view that the applications depict the struggle for power and are at best meant to serve the interest of politicians, not the masses.

“It is not good especially because these cases simply relate to the average Nigerian leaders’ dishonest struggle for power just to corruptly seize our resources for their selfish use. If the cases were matters concerning the human rights of citizens, socio-economic issues or death penalty one would have had sympathy.

Unfortunately, the cases that are being championed for review are those concerning political leaders who have brought our nation down on her knees by their very corrupt model of election and governance.” the learned silk said

Ojukwu, SAN believes that the cases would end up eroding the confidence of the masses in the Judiciary. “These cases rather than help with rebuilding confidence in our judiciary as being propagated by some lawyers actually have a direct opposite effect of ridiculing the judiciary and justice process.”

The learned silk, therefore, Advises that the applications be treated with contempt. “I think that the Supreme Court of Nigeria will and should treat these cases with the greatest contempt they deserve.”
