Segun Sowunmi: Some Nigerians no longer see court as hope of common man

Segun Sowunmi, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party , says some Nigerians no longer see the court as the last hope of the common man.

“Our problem now is that the phrase “go to court” originally started as a persuasive message to take violence away from the people that are aggrieved,” Sowunmi said.“Unfortunately, we have now metamorphosed it into an annoying, disrespectful, provocative phrase which seeks to tell us that do your worst; and that do your worst means go to court.

“We are no longer able to see commonality in our advocacy. We are not able to see that what is wrong is wrong.”Speaking with TheCable at the event, Victoria Ibezim-Ohaeri, executive director of S4C, said the ‘Go to Court’ is about how activities of the judiciary expand democracy and how it affects the civic space in the country.
