Kingsley Moghalu, former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, has expressed concern about the deteriorating state of Nigeria’s judicial and electoral systems.
In a recent statement on his social media platform, he cautioned that this development poses a serious threat to the country’s democratic aspirations.
Moghalu’s comments come in the midst of a controversy surrounding the Appeal Court’s decision to nullify the election of Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State, despite a certified true copy of the judgement affirming Yusuf as the duly elected governor.
The Appeal Court set aside the ruling of the Kano election petition tribunal, citing a lack of merit in their decision.
He warned that those who benefit from these systemic failings may be blinded by their advantages, but history suggests that the long-term outlook is concerning.
