of the Nigerian Bar Association, Monday Ubani, has said the Nigerian Judiciary is overburdened with election matters.“SPIDEL just finished a conference in Lagos, and part of the discussion is this issue of judicial intervention in electoral matters, and the conclusion by all speakers invited is that we are really overburdening our judiciary with this issue of electoral matters.
“The criminal cases are not going; the civil cases are not going; even those on fundamental human rights ordinarily should receive priority and are not given that due attention because of cases currently going on at election petition tribunals. And they will not end now until probably December or January.”
“We have problems with the electoral process. At the polling units, we don’t have fairness at that level. Can’t we do something that will ensure fairness in the electoral process at the polling units? That’s where leadership is decided, not at the courts. We are overburdening the courts,” the lawyer stated.
