Read below :

 

“Our people have lived with corruption!
Our people have lived with inefficiency!
Our people have lived with oppression!
Our people have lived with Bad Governance!

BUT OUR PEOPLE DRAW THE LINE AT INJUSTICE!

Historically, the one thing that people world over completely abhor and that has time and time again demonstrated the capacity to topple kingdoms, empires or governments is INJUSTICE.

Because Justice is natural, INJUSTICE resonates deeply with everyone on a subconscious level and when it is wrought with so much impunity on a scale so wide that it affects a large number at once, it has the capacity to unite people of different persuasions (Religious, Tribal or otherwise), inflame passions, destabilize the polity and bring down the status quo.

We all saw what happened with Mohbad recently. Nigerians from all walks of life (professionals, underworld kingpins, actresses, masses, cultists, thugs, soldiers etc) were united in the call for Justice. If the government and the police hadn’t responded quickly to start investigations, it could’ve spiraled and quickly descended into something else. Even then majority of people are still distrustful as to if Justice will eventually be served. The Arab Spring and the uprisings in Egypt, Libya, and Syria, and the reactionary rise of religious fundamentalism are examples of the consequences of the failure of JUSTICE systems.

The following are relevant:
– Elections have come and gone but we will all live with the outcomes and consequences of those elections.
– In our dear country Nigeria electioneering is divided into three: (1)pre-election, (2)election and (3)post-election.
– Post-election phase was designed to correct the ills and errors of the pre election and election phases and is the most important of the three phases due to its powers of validation/invalidation of the prior two phases.

– Post-election phase comprises ventilation of grievances through legal challenges mounted via petitions filed at election petition tribunals firmly under the supervision and control of the Judiciary. The balkanization, tokenization and monetization of this important phase is what we are concerned about.

– In Nigeria we operate a constitutional democracy and even though our constitution may not be perfect, it symbolizes the highest authority in our land today and birthed the current order (all arms of government) and is a document we all mandatorily have to obey and follow. It is the social contract that binds all of us Nigerians. It is written in English language and plain enough for ordinary Nigerians to read and understand.

– The Judiciary was created by our constitution and saddled with the responsibility of upholding and interpreting our constitution and all laws made pursuant to it.

– The election petition tribunals in Nigeria are to the legal profession in Nigeria what the champions league football is to the footballing world. It is indeed the only time when all Nigerians pay attention to the legal sector and Judiciary.

– As a result of the aforementioned, the judgements that emanate from the election tribunals have important and serious implications on the confidence the Nigerian citizenry place in their Justice system. If the Judges who are supposed to uphold our constitution shit on it for personal gains, they endanger with the smell of their shit the entire order including themselves whose existence rests on the sanctity of the same constitution.

– The Judgments that have been emanating from the tribunals are a source of worry and threat to the Nigerian Justice system because of their lack of fairness, propensity to elevate technicalities and process above substantive justice, misinterpretation, double standards, deviation from standard norms and open bias.

– To achieve the impossible, the NIGERIAN JUDICIARY has mastered the art of striking out/upholding objections to evidence tendered to render a petition useless.

Hang on for Part 2..
