The Allied Conservative Congress (ACC), a political party seeking registration with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), says an unbiased judiciary is needed for a sustainable democracy.
Speaking at the national executive committee meeting of the party in Abuja on Thursday, Mohammed Lawal, ACC secretary, said judicial officers need to be upright and decide cases “without fear or favour”.
He said conflicting judgments by courts of coordinated jurisdiction are making a “mockery of the administration of justice in Nigeria,” adding that Nigerians are fast losing confidence in the judiciary.“The urgent need to overhaul the judiciary cannot be overemphasised. An unbiased judiciary is critical for sustainable democracy,” he said.
On Saturday, the National Judicial Council suspended G. C. Aguma, judge of a state high court in Rivers, and his Anambra counterpart, A. O. Nwabunike, for alleged judicial misconduct.The ACC secretary said the hardship in the country is hitting citizens harder, noting that average Nigerians are struggling to feed.
“There is confusion in governance as the ship of the Nigerian state drifts on its perilous course buffeted by insecurity and poverty.“Citizens are overwhelmed by hardship and poor leadership at all levels of government and now desire a change from the illusive progressivism that impedes the nation’s democracy to conservatism that will foster unity, equity, morality, security, and prosperity.
