It is a welcome development but I do not rejoice at it because of the following unswered questions:
1. Why long delay to allow the man to enjoy the (il)legal office?
2. What about all the benefits he already collected and spent? The court should also rule that he return all benefits that previously accrued to him while in that office
3. How sure are we that it is not another political bargaining process completed - perharps an agreement among the contending parties to allow him enjoy the office and be removed at the last minutes since the incoming one will still have to searve his full term - a standard already set by the reversal of Ngige's victory in favour of Peter Obi?
