Atiku Abubakar former vice president of Nigeria and the 2023 presidential candidate of the people’s democratic party PDP raises alarm on pivotal role of Nigeria’s judiciary in the country’s democratic process. Atiku asserting that the judiciary has become a threat to democracy, he is drawing attention to its influence in electoral disputes and its potential to undermine the will of the people. His remarks suggest that the judiciary, instead of protecting voters’ choices, may be promoting personal agendas or engaging in decisions that weaken political parties.
Atiku’s comments also touch on the historical context of Nigeria’s judicial system, suggesting that corruption has eroded its independence over time. This critique highlights a broader issue in the country— the lack of accountability within the various branches of government. His call for reforms emphasizes the need to address these issues for Nigeria to strengthen its democracy.
His claim about being a leading advocate for democracy also underscores his ongoing political relevance and commitment to governance reforms.
What do you think about his perspective? Does this align with what you’ve seen happening in Nigeria’s recent political landscape?
