It is the irrefutable
position of the leadership of International Society for Civil Liberties
& the Rule of Law that court rulings before and during elections
in Nigeria in recent times do not always stand the test of time. As a result,
many, if not most of court rulings before or during polls particularly those
coming from State and Federal High Courts as well as the Court of
Appeal are generally seen as pollutant viruses capable
of plunging the country’s landscape into chaos of uncontrollable proportions.
Such rulings are grossly influenced by mercantilist and primordial dispositions
at the grand whims and caprices of parochial and politically mercantile
interests of interested individuals and socio-political groups. Very worrisome
it is that tainted men and women operating in the Hallowed Chambers
of Venerable Justice sector in Nigeria always canonize and
institutionalize such infamy to the painful point of making them part of
Nigeria’s case laws.
