Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), on Thursday warned the courts to “stop imposing politicians on Nigerians”.
According to Falana, “the involvement of the courts in the electoral process has not been favourable to the country’s democracy.”
He made the call while speaking on “The Role of the Courts in the Electoral Process and the Time Bomb of Section 84(12) of the Electoral Act 2022”.
It was delivered at the Law Week of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Ondo Branch.
According to Falana, the courts are involved in appointment of party officers and fixing of national conventions of political parties.
