A naked legal glance at the Supreme Court ruling on the appeal by Orji Uzor Kalu will echo all the tenets of classical Anglo-American jurisprudence of"jurisdiction" ,"constitutionality" and"the rule of law". But I decide to dig deeper.
The coming of British imperialism into Southern Nigeria was met with stiff resistance and it took bullets and blood to conquer both the swamps and vegetations of both Western and Eastern parts of today's Nigeria. British and Arabian imperialism entered into a bloodless power-sharing agreement of domination of their colonies .
The Supreme Court of Nigeria itself is a reflection of the intra-class struggle within the Nigerian ruling class after flag independence.
The Igbo ruling elite , with its morbid sense of individualism and materialism produced 10 Senate Presidents within 60 years of Nigeria's post-flag independence. During the Obasanjo's years, it produced 5 different Senate Presidents within 8 years. Despite its fluidity, as 2023 warms up, the Igbo ruling elite is a section other ruling class sections cannot ignore.
3. Why are such statutes such as the Administration of Criminal Justice Act with clear constitutional flaws not given proper vetting at the legislative chambers ?
