Nigeria’s Disgraceful Justice Delivery Sector: Regarding Election Dispute Resolution, Shame On Us All!

by Eze Eluchie,

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.
