Judicial Coup D’etat In Nigeria

alltimepost.com

It is heart breaking and sad that the judiciary in Nigeria through the apex court in the land is spitting on the heroic graves of those that died violently during the 2015 general elections in Nigeria! Why did a tiny body of judges condescend too terribly low to do the bidding of the few enemies of the people of Nigeria? Is it because most of them reached the Supreme Court as a result of political goodies shared to them by members of the last administration that held sway for sixteen years in Nigeria?

Pebbles with Igbotako Nowinta

Since President Muhammadu Buhari was sworn in as the number one citizen in our land on May 29 2015, he has hit the ground running after those that stole our national purse dry and dusty.

And in some cases we have seen the ugly situation where corruption (those that recklessly embezzled public funds) is trying desperately to fight back at the system.

We saw that the likes of Olisah Metuh, Peoples Democratic Party’s Publicity Secretary; Fani –Kayode, Publicity guru of the 2015 President Jonathan Campaign Organization; Sambo Dasuki, former National Security Adviser to ex-president Jonathan, and a host of others were resorting to naked and ruthless propaganda, blackmail, half-truths and absolute lies against the government before the can of scandalous worms was blown open against them by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Today, Raymond Dokpesi, owner of the African Independent Television (AIT) and co-travelers are eating their vomit like trapped and shameless dogs as dirty, shady and bloody deals they associated with during the Goodluck Jonathan misadventure are now open in the public domain.

Really and truly our country was almost bled to death by a handful of political bandits, hopelessly greedy officers in uniform and some privileged bootlickers along with members of their families.

In my private activities sometimes I used to wonder or imagine what Nigeria would have become by now had the Peoples Democratic Party and Goodluck Jonathan succeeded in winning the March 28, 2015 Presidential Election in Nigeria.

Now that the Raymond Dokpesis of this world are sorry and settling out of court for their sins against the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu before the Presidential Election in 2015, and at the same time losing the war of calumny against the mantra of change being championed by the Buhari administration, something new, diabolical and absolutely nauseating has crept into the system behind the back door.

What could that be? I make bold to call it ‘judicial coup d’etat. This is how it goes! It is like the case of a desperate warrior who has seen the hand writing of defeat on the wall and decides to do something smart about it.

Must a few judges lick the dirty foot of some unpopular and demented politicians that wanted power at all cost?

I am not a card carrying member of any political party, but I can’t close my eyes to the affront of some so called ‘learned men’ who are trying to destroy with reckless abandon the gains achieved by Professor Attahiru Jega as chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

As I know the judges can hide under any flimsy precedence and ‘explain everything’ as ‘evidence before me shows that it is not beyond reasonable
doubt.’

How on earth could governorship trophies be thrown in favor of the PDP by the Supreme Court in the face of overwhelming evidences of unprecedented violence /mass scale rigging, in such states like Rivers, Delta, Abia, Akwa-Ibom, etc. during the election on April 11th 2015?

This is seething and abominable! I wrote in one of my pieces few weeks ago: Can Nigerian Judiciary Help President Buhari?

It is not for nothing that President Buhari said recently that his headache is the judiciary in his efforts to sanitize the system.

Now that some learned men are making themselves available as partners in the satanic scuttling of the election of democratically elected individuals I add my vote to the probing of some of the Supreme Court’s recent pronouncements.

These judges should be probed by the National Judicial Commission! This judicial coup d’etat must never be allowed to flourish in Nigeria! Never!

After all some stupid, dishonorable, greedy and shameless judges are being discovered, probed, disgraced and thrown out in Ghana today.
