Why In God’s Name Did NJC Rewarded One Of The Leaders Injustices With Proven Track Record Of Particular Concern In The Judiciary
The Supreme Court recently penalized the PDP over its 2025 convention matter, holding that the party engaged in forum shopping instead of pursuing the proper appellate process. The apex court made it clear that where a court of coordinate jurisdiction has already ruled on a matter, dissatisfied parties should proceed on appeal rather than seek another judgment elsewhere.
This is why many Nigerians are now questioning the recent ruling delivered by Justice James Omotosho Backing INEC Primary Timelines, Contradicts Earlier Judgment On Membership Register Deadline which appears to contradict an earlier judgment delivered by Justice Umar of same Federal High Court.
If the Supreme Court has already condemned forum shopping in the PDP case, why should similar judicial conduct continue in another – Omotosho’s court?
Even more troubling is the growing concern over accountability within the judiciary. Many Nigerians expected the National Judicial Council to caution judicial actions that appear to undermine consistency and discipline within the courts. Instead, Justice Omotosho has now been elevated to the Court of Appeal.
The judiciary remains the final hope of the common man. But when conflicting judgments continue to emerge from courts of equal jurisdiction, and those involved are rewarded instead of scrutinized, ordinary Nigerians are left wondering where justice truly stands.
