This is a story of how not to interpret the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.  Before the Supreme Court, there is an appeal from the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, challenging the Court of Appeal's decision that a state governor can spend more that four years in office.  But beyond the decision that is being challenged, there are issues, controversies and even contradictions in the entire matter.  This report attempts to engender a resolution.
