Blake can't take over because then she will be separated from the rest of RWBY and the main plot again.

Ghira could take it back, but he retired to be able to govern Kuo Kuana, so that might be too time consuming. The only ones who know about him trying to blow everyone up are the ones there. If they all get arrested but he escapes, the rest of the WF will still follow him, as no one will find out about what he did. At least, no one they'd believe.
