Former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Kingsley Moghalu has warned that Nigeria’s judicial and electoral systems are collapsing.
He spoke in a post on his X handle on Wednesday.
OBSERVERSTIMES recall that a certified true copy of the Appeal Court judgement on the Kano State Governorship Election, however, affirmed Yusuf as the duly elected governor.
As indicated in the written judgement, the Court of Appeal set aside the judgement of the Kano election petition tribunal, which upturned Yusuf’s victory, for lacking merit.
According to him, those who benefit from systemic failures are often intoxicated by their advantages.
He wrote, “Nigeria’s judicial and electoral systems are collapsing. This has ominous implications for our aspirations for democracy. Often, those who benefit from these systemic failures are intoxicated by their advantage. But, history tells us that longer term, the prognosis isn’t pretty.”
