Section 83 and the Myth of Judicial Silence in Party Politics

The recent assertion by my brother, Festus Okoye Esq, that lawyers have become scapegoats in internal party conflicts owing to their recourse to the courts calls for careful constitutional and judicial interrogation. At the centre of this debate lies Section 83 of the Electoral Act 2026, particularly the suggestion that it absolutely ousts the jurisdiction of the courts over the internal affairs of political parties. With the greatest respect to lawyers who are holding this view, that broad interpretation may appear overstretched and not constitutionally sustainable. Section 83(5) of the Electoral Act, read in isolation, appears to bar courts from entertaining disputes relating to party internal issues absolutely.  On a literal reading, it suggests a legislative intent to shield political parties from judicial scrutiny. That may not absolutely be true. Such a construction ignores a foundational principle of Nigeria’s constitutional order, which is the fact that...

Justice Delivery and Prevailing Conflicting Judgments: An Imperative for Urgent Judicial Reforms

I had the rare  privilege of participating as a panelist at the Biennial Law Week of the Nigerian Bar Association, Anaocha Branch, Anambra State this weekend,  where distinguished Professors of Law, Justices of various courts, Senior Advocates of Nigeria, and legal scholars gathered to interrogate one of the most pressing challenges confronting the Nigerian judiciary today: "the growing menace of conflicting judgments and the urgent need for judicial reforms". The topic was not only timely but fundamental to the survival of public confidence in the administration of justice. A judiciary that speaks with contradictory voices weakens the rule of law, undermines democratic stability, and erodes citizens’ faith in the courts as impartial arbiters of justice. Conflicting judgments occur when courts of coordinate jurisdiction issue inconsistent decisions on the same subject matter, thereby creating uncertainty and confusion in the legal system. Unfortunately, this distu...

In line with this principle, the publicity Secretary, Mrs. Bridge ...

LET OLUNIDE AKPATA HAVE A GOOD BREATH-SELAH TO THOSE CLAMORING FOR A SAN CANDIDACY .

WHO IS AFRAID OF OLUMIDE AKPATA? The desperation to kick out Olumide Akpata at all cost from the NBA presidential election [as they did to Mazi Afam Osigwe during the last cycle] is so sickening. It stinks to high heaven!  1. First they said he is not from the West and cannot run for office. That one failed, and the ECNBA cleared the man. 2. They called him all sorts of names for donating palliatives to his NBA branch at the peak of the Coronavirus pandemic, and called for his disqualification because, according to them, this kind gesture (which his detractors never showed their colleagues) was designed to entice lawyers! This failed. 3. They said he is not a SAN and has no litigation experience because the NBA only belongs to awon "My Lord, May I?" Apologies to Lasisi Elenu. Like the ones before it, this propaganda failed. 4. Then, they wrote a terribly insulting letter calling on the Body of SANs to make sure no junior lawyer ("including Mr Akpata who has b...
