“This court has been inundated by applications mostly overtaken by events and before the highest court of the land. If the rule of law is not respected, this will lead to anarchy. The court has no jurisdiction. A judgement has been executed. A motion of stay of execution will amount to academic exercise. There is no live issue to be determined by this court. The court is obligated to strike out the application and all other ancillaries. There are hereby struck out.”

“How we treat those who can’t fight back, should matter. It is only when this culture is imbibed that the Rule of Law would be restored. The Bar and the Bench must join hands to cleanse our profession. Let us revert to the hallowed traditions of integrity, fairness and steadfast diligence that was the stock in trade of the legal profession.”

“The Nigerian judiciary in the past has been one of the greatest in the world, but it is time to relive and embrace the rule of law in its entirety. It seems only lip service is paid to this great doctrine. It is essential that the rule of law must be observed in order for society to run smoothly, otherwise the beauty of democracy will elude us.”
