Judicial Mercenarism, By Chidi Anselm Odinkalu by Racoon(m): 8:50pm On Nov 19, 2023 |
These days, some judges in Nigeria are not shy about announcing which political side has penetrated their judicial orifices. They are not merely contumelious but choose to advertise it. The courts no longer even pretend to tether their pronouncements to any sense of principle, precedent or proportion. To use an expression originated by our neighbours in Cameroon, judicial mercenarism now manifests itself in an open jurisprudence of “buy am; sell am.”https://www.premiumtimesng.com/opinion/644592-judicial-mercenarism-by-chidi-anselm-odinkalu.html?utm_campaign=twitter&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitter 7 Likes

Like I once said, should tinubu win, he'd undo a lot in our political circles, nationwide. Its happening already. Those of us in Lagos can relate. He knows how to use the judiciary as a tool to have his way in all things. Woe onto that judge who allows himself or herself to be used to upturn legitimacy. 22 Likes 2 Shares |

The bastardization of the supposed unbiased judiciary by both the legislature and executive have further compounded the political woes of this nation. Judiciary of the highest bidder, but their Waterloo is nearer and it will be catastrophic 16 Likes 2 Shares |

If revolution go happen for nigeria na Judiciary go cause am with all these their fraudulent judgement of retaining APC state and removing opposition candidate from their seat. They always plan everything down before they travel They travel to saudi, their judge sack abba yusuf of NNPP in kano They travel to Germany their judge don sack mutwang of PDP in JOS. And we dont know who their boys in court will sack again. All because of 2027 I hope what is happening now will teach those northerners that rigged election for them a lesson, 10 Likes 2 Shares |

"It is no surprise that this kind of thing only happens in political and election disputes, where politicians chase judges with money and induce open trades in the outcome of judicial proceedings. This is why judicial mercenarism is often accompanied by unconcealed hubris. Just this past week, Yargata Nimpar, a Justice of Appeal, informed the appellants in the judicial contest over the governorship of Lagos State that they “came empty-handed and left empty-handed. They merely enjoyed their day in court.” 1 Like |

Let them not worry. The revolution is close at hand. Since they have succeeded in killing the Electoral revolution through the use of corrupt judges, they will face the revolution of the people. 10 Likes 1 Share |

When the fire will come, it will start from the judiciary. And I do hope that every idiot that call himself a judge today is sacked and new set of people taken in as judges because these ones are shameless illiterates. 4 Likes 1 Share |

How come you didn’t write this beautiful epistle. When the court was in favor of Obi twice, Nasarawa APC’s governor was removed or when in Bayelsa an election winner (APC) was removed because of his deputy’s issue and many more. You see it is foolishness to think you’re wiser than others. Dey play! 11 Likes 2 Shares |

It's only APC (or BAT) that bribes the judges. PDP and LP are saints! Any post by Racoon and Bobloco will always reek of Peter Obi's electoral loss and the extreme hatred for anything BAT! Bring the banks and account numbers the funds were transferred! How much was it? 2 Likes 1 Share |

Jostoman: oh yes. Passing blame as usual APC helped PDP to win Bayelsa election. It also helped bala Mohammed of PDP to win the appeal in Bauchi state governorship. It also helped Seyi makinde of Oyo state PDP, Governor Alex otti of LAbour party Abia State, PDP governor Mbah of Enugu state, PDP governor Eno of AkwaIbom State, PDP Governor Sheriff of Delta state, PDP governor Kefas of Taraba state and other. APC helped them all. 5 Likes |

Racoon: These days, many critics like Chidi are not shy about announcing their partisanship. I wonder which side penetrated the judges that gave Peter Obi his Court victory to overturn the electoral victory of Ngige who had ruled for almost 3years as Anambra Governor? Which side penetrated the Judges that nullified all of the victory of APC in Zamfara State in 2019, and made the losing PDP take over a Governorship and State Aseembly they never won? Which side penetrated the Judges that gave the Governorship to the losing PDP in Bayelsa after the people have voted for the APC overwhelmingly , only to be undone a day to the inauguration ceremony owing to court judgement on the academic credentials of the APC running mate? Justice is justice and has no need to please the preferences of Igbos, either as the losers or the spectators who have chosen the side to support. 3 Likes 1 Share |
