A group under the aegis of Access to Justice has written to the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, saying Nigeria’s judicial accountability and transparency standards do not guarantee that the judiciary will live up to the expectations of Nigerians in the delivery of electoral justice.

The group in an open letter signed by its Convener, Joseph Otteh, lamented that there is wide public perception that election dispute resolutions in Nigeria create avenues for money laundering.

The group said, “The NJC's own disciplinary records, as well as those of anti-corruption agencies bear out the extraordinary incidence of corruption associated with the determination of electoral disputes.

“Neither the NJC's Code of Judicial Conduct nor the Judicial Discipline Regulations, as experience has shown, have effectively deterred Judges from engaging in corrupt practices because they miss a vital link to fighting corruption, which is ‘detecting’ it,” it added. It continued, “They also do not promote the role of the public in fighting judicial misconduct.

“The Judiciary's failure or inability to ascertain and vindicate the democratic choices made by electors can destabilize political society. It is of utmost importance, therefore, that the Judiciary's supervisory and restorative powers in election cases must not be compromised.“Like never before, the last elections have put Nigeria's future on edge, with political tensions now at boiling point.

Why are they scared. They should have filed the right petitions. They can't blackmail the judiciary

This man’s eye tells so much of how cunning he can be.

Looking into this eyes what do you see

The kind of news we like to see on our nation's media outlets.

When the petition go start sed

Shehusky We will not be deceived o. Our mandate must be returned

The judges should know that if any of them has a cockroach in his cupboard, it will be used to blackmail them to give judgement against their conscience; they did it to Inec officials. So they should recuse themselves now Obidients are not taking any excuse. OUR MANDATE WE KNOW

See his face, low budget Papa Ajasco !

Lol, they are wasting their time.. it has already been compromised.

Don't mind them sir. They are Obidients. The want their candidate to be declared the winner or election cancelled. That's the only way justice can be served to them.

When you report corruption to corruption, what do you hope to achieve?

Another propaganda, but they are late as usual. Make them fine another one because this one don cast already.

The pressure is too much on this man. Please let's thread with caution in order not to have a crisis in our hands. This man is already health challenged.

Any judge guilty of corruption should recuse himself or herself and avoid being used to further help APC's hold on the rigged elections.

If I be CJN I go resign. The pressure is too much for his age
