The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has cautioned judges who oversee election petition tribunals against being compromised, saying that “hall of shame” will be created for such judges.
Speaking on Sunday at a press conference organised by the Labour and Civil Society Movement Front in Abuja, NLC president, Joe Ajaero said there are concerns that election tribunals are yet to commence sitting on petitions from aggrieved candidates who participated in the elections.

He noted that Nigerians are eager to know if the judiciary is still the last hope of the common man
He said, “We identify with all the views expressed here because we believe that the mission is geared towards rescuing Nigeria and rescuing the judiciary as the latter is clearly down.”
“The judiciary has set many states and institutions on fire. The judiciary has set Imo state on fire and up till now, people are wondering how a person who was not a candidate of his party be declared the governor.
“The judiciary has so many questions to answer. If they fail to answer those questions within a short time, we will create a hall of shame for those judges that come up with some judgments and that could happen soon.”
