Judiciary shouldn’t determine election winners – Falana

Tamarauemi Ebimini

Human rights activist, Femi Falana SAN, stated that it is not ideal for the judiciary to determine election winners.
Falana said this in an interview with Channels TV’s Politics on Saturday.

According to him:;“No doubt the judgment of the Supreme Court has ended the electoral contestation as far as the presidential election conducted in February this year is concerned.

“But for sure, it is not a judicial endorsement of the conduct of the election by INEC.

“And what I mean is that even with the judgment, it is very clear that Nigeria has a long way to go in terms of ensuring that credible elections are conducted; elections that will be devoid of acrimony, elections that all of us will be proud of.

“But we are still a long way from there even with the judgment

“Yes for now the presidential election is concluded. It should have been concluded in February, but it has just been concluded by the Supreme Court and it should not be so.

“The judiciary should not determine the winners of elections.

“Judges are not suited to determine the winners of election; that is a job that is the exclusive reserve of INEC if things are done properly and that is why we must put an end to the shame that has become our law in terms of conducting elections.”
