Re-trial of Kalu: Not worth a single minute

The Nigerian justice system is known for throwing up a surprise of a gargantuan, earth-shaking, epoch-making magnitude every now and then. One was the Supreme Court judgement which handed victory to the National Party of Nigeria in 1979, in the election petitions appeal: Chief Obafemi Awolowo vs Alhaji Shehu Shagari over whether the latter could be deemed duly elected despite not having satisfied the stipulated provision of wins in two-thirds of the then 19 states comprising the federation.

As it happens, for once, the higher courts could not fault the evidence adduced by the prosecution so, the search for a different exit route for “distinguished” Senator Kalu was urgently needed.The Supreme Court did not disappoint. And, like a jolt from a thunderbolt, it found one.

... In this particular case, the law is an ass, nothing can be farther from the truth. If the likes of Oputa, Eso, Elias, Nnaemeka-Agu, JJSC (Rtd) had been on that same bench, I would have been keenly interested to know where or how they would swing. Sad.

👆We can never be seen as a serious country! The Supreme Court missed the opportunity to be CREATIVE and further deepen our constitutional jurisprudence. This is a marked difference between 'Law', strictly speaking, and 'Justice'....

Politicians will be the end of this country. They always find political solution to every situation
