Faleye Says Judicial System May Sabotage Tinubu’s Better Nigeria

The government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been going round the world wooing investors to bring their investments to the country to better the economy of the country. One thing however that may be standing as an obstacle towards achieving this feat is the activities of the judiciary.

Faleye Simon in an opinion made available to the media pondered on the recent activities from the supposed hope of common man is leaving too much to desire, there have been mixed reactions on judgement being delivered from the chambers perceived to negate the effect of the effort of the president to attract foreign investors into the country.

A group of retired and serving judges, magistrates, apex media doyens and others under the aegis of God & Country Ombudsmen for Nation Building (GOCONB), recently in Edo State have called on the judicial leaders over election tribunal.

The GOCONB call shows that the new judicial advocacy body that also comprises zenith professionals in the media, environmentalists and international solicitors, some of who hold briefs with the ECOWAS, the African Union and European Commission, among global development institutions and partners.

It would be recalled that there was a legal battle between political parties in Edo State during post-election era which was allegedly dismissed.

GOCONB described as “distressful, egregiously contemptuous of superior courts and not supported by law or facts.”

The statements reads further that the CJN and the NJC should wade in before actions of some judges turn the country on its head.

The actions of many of these judges will not only make the judiciary an object of mockery it is also a tool that is working against the effort of the Tinubu led government to project the image of the country positively to the rest of the world.

The Lagos State recent gubernatorial election also recorded mixed reactions.

Observers were of the strong believe that the economic reform of the Tinubu led government is facing more risk of sabotage from the judiciary more than that of any other arm of the government, since it is the general knowledge that a compromised court is dangerous for business.
