Sometimes, you think politicians are Nigeria's main problem, then you realise the judiciary is even worse. The judicialisation of elections in Nigeria is the biggest bane of democracy and good governance in the country. After Imo, it's even more difficult to have faith in the SC.
This is ridiculous, What kind of nonsense is this I believe something must be done…
Elections in Nigeria is more of selection than election. I can't fault the tribunal but a fraudulent system that always wins.
