The decision of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, to wage a legal challenge against the proclamation of President Muhammadu Buhari the winner of February 23, 2019, presidential election has not received the encouragement of a few informed minds in the country.
I want to see every politician who gained public office through any kind of electoral malfeasance to not only be booted out by the court but also recommended for trial for grievous infractions against the country’s democratic process and laws. This is the only way to deter desperate characters who have no respect for any organised systems and before whom nothing is sacred.
Only recently, in September 2017, Kenya became the first country in Africa to have her Supreme Court annulled a presidential election. Nobody saw it as an attempt by the judiciary to “humiliate” the president, because, in Kenya, the country and her institutions are higher than any individual or political party.
