In what appears like the beginning of the end of road for Barr. Joe Odey Agi SAN, the Supreme Court of Nigeria this morning struck out two motions filed by Joe Agi for lacking in common sense as the motions were merely speculative, baseless and unmeritorious.
The lead counsel to Joe Agi afterwards apologized and withdrew the motions stating that it has been overtaken by events.
The Supreme Court however found merit in the motion filed by counsels to the Governor, Prof. Ben. Ayade and after taking the introduction of the motion by the lead counsel to the Governor, Chief Whole Olanipkekun SAN who was accompanied by Mr Paul Erokoro SAN.
The motion of the Governor through his counsel centres purely on jurisdiction of the supreme Court.
The supreme Court in giving credence to it have agreed to take the motion on the 23rd day of January 2017.
While the team of the Governor were seeing smiling out of court, the very learned Senior Advocate, Barr. Joe Agi was wearing a mournful face.
Until the adjourned date in January next year, Joe Agi and his propaganda machinery will have to keep mute and contrive a new story line.
