The Helpless Nature Of Our Judiciary by Dadadash40: 7:36am On Aug 20, 2018 |
Our constitution is our problem. how can you grant immunity to governors?? the constitution failed to mention what will happen to governors and presidents when they disobey court orders. Nigeria will be better only if the judiciary will have the right to deploy army and arrest people that disobey court orders including government officials. our judiciary is useless and helpless because after interpreting the law, the executive throws it into dustbin. There is an ongoing court jurisdiction between oyo state government and fresh FM. And according to the constitution, once a matter gets to court both parties must stay clear until the court passes a verdict on the matter. But in Nigeria the reverse is the case. It happened in IMO state when there was an ongoing court jurisdiction stopping governor okorocha from impeaching his deputy governor yet he threw court order into dustbin and went ahead to impeach him by bribing majority of house members. As far as I'm concerned, we have 3 arms of government and they are 1. Executive 2. Legislature 3. The press When court orders are not obeyed, when legal due processes and procedures are brought to a thing of ridicule then the judiciary is dead. Remedy; our constitution need to be amended in the following ways 1. The Attorney General must not be by appointment by the president. He must be elected by the masses through INEC 2. The judiciary must be given power to deploy the army to arrest anyone including government officials that disobey court orders. 3. The chief of Army, police, navy, custom, prisons, etc must be by election through INEC. This is the only way Nigeria will be better. And executive will now sit up and work.
