Learned Silks & Distinguished Colleagues,
The most topical issue in Nigeria right now is undoubtedly the quadrennial general election scheduled for February and March 2023 where Nigerians will go to the polls to elect a new President as well as Governors and legislators across the States of the Federation and the two Houses of the National Assembly. The preponderance of politico-legal opinion is that the 2023 elections will be one of the most consequential elections in Nigeria’s history and will significantly impact the socio-economic outlook of Africa’s largest economy and most populous nation.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the build-up to the elections has almost been overshadowed by controversies relating to decisions emanating from the judiciary in pre-election disputes. For some, this merely serves as a foreshadow to the inevitable judicial challenge to the outcome of the election, one way or the other.
