Since the transition from military to civil democratic rule over twenty years ago in 1999, Nigeria’s
constitutional democracy has suffered a stunted growth.
The lofty promises of dividends of the -hard fought to attain- democracy in the form of improved welfare and security of lives and properties of citizens remains unfulfilled. If the judiciary is to live up to its reputation as the last hope of the common man and considering the fundamental importance of credible election to a functional democracy, the judiciary should be guided more by the morality of the rule of law and less by its technicalities in adjudicating electoral disputes.
The interest of common people Nigeria is best served in functional constitutional democracy, which gives them power to place and replace their political leadership at their freewill.
