🗣ActionAid Urges Judicial Reforms in Nigeria
ActionAid has called for urgent reforms in Nigeria's judiciary, citing inconsistencies in election-related rulings and their impact on democracy. The group highlighted cases like the Plateau Election Tribunal and the Bashir Machina vs. Ahmed Lawan ruling as examples of judicial decisions that disenfranchise citizens and undermine trust in the system.
Key concerns include delays, political interference, and financial dependence on the executive, which compromise judicial independence.
ActionAid urged stronger oversight from bodies like the NJC and greater media advocacy to promote transparency and accountability in the judiciary.
