A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and its former Deputy National Chairman in the South West zone, Olabode George says anarchy looms in the country, when the people can no longer trust the Judiciary as the third estate of the realm in the nation’s democracy.
Bode George who addressed journalists in Lagos on Monday on behalf of the PDP leaders in the State, reflected on the State of the Nigerian Nation amid concerns, following the series of judgements delivered by the Judiciary on the last general elections conducted across the country.
The former Ondo State Military Administrator and chieftain of the main opposition Party, the PDP warned on the consequences of selecting the representatives of the people by the Judiciary rather than through the ballot.
While emphasizing the need for the peoples rights to be respected by allowing them to choose the candidates of their choice, he called for the review of the electoral process and indeed the constitution as a possible solution.
He blamed the electoral umpire, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for not living to the expectations of the electorate in conducting a credible elections across the country despite the huge expenses incurred at procuring the BVAS, among others.
