The entire
Nigerian Justice sector should bow our it's head in shame.
Two years
after elections have been concluded, frivolous applications by unscrupulous attorneys
condoned by a fraudulent system continue to bog down decisions on election
petitions – allowing criminal elements who rigged elections to continue to
fleece the contraption and further pauperize the population.
Within 20
days of the Kenyan Presidential elections, the Supreme Court judgement on a
petition filed to protest the said elections was delivered – annulling the
August 11 2017 Presidential elections and ordering a re-run.
What else do
we expect of a contraption whose so-called ‘Constitution of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria’ is in reality a mere Schedule to a Military Decree (Decree
No. 24 of 1999 – the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
{Promulgation} Decree 1999), signed into effect by a renegade soldier (a successor/beneficiary
of the treasonable act of violent overthrow of a democratically elected government).
Despite opposition
from those who think they are presently benefiting from the rot which the
Nigerian system is and represents, each and every aspect of the Nigerian polity
is in need of holistic restructuring and renegotiation, lest we continue to be
a source of ridicule to our population and humanity.
Let’s Restructure
and Renegotiate the contraption whilst there is yet time.
Picture: Scale of
Justice on the Nigerian colours.
