Former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has lambasted the Nigerian judiciary, describing it as the major obstacle to the country’s democratic progress.
Obi made this statement in a recent interview, where he expressed his disappointment with the judicial system.
According to Obi, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is often unfairly blamed for the country’s democratic woes, when in fact, the judiciary is the main culprit.
He argued that the judiciary’s slow pace and inconsistent rulings have undermined the democratic process and eroded public trust.
Obi’s comments come on the heels of several controversial court rulings and delayed judgments, which have sparked widespread criticism and concern among Nigerians.
His statement has sparked a heated debate, with some agreeing with his assessment and others defending the judiciary.
The former presidential candidate’s remarks have added to the growing calls for judicial reform and accountability in Nigeria. As the country continues to grapple with democratic challenges, Obi’s statement has ignited a crucial conversation about the role of the judiciary in shaping Nigeria’s democratic future.
