Breaking: The judiciary is beginning to rise to the occasion. A court in Gombe State has clearly captured the essence of Sections 85(5) and 85(6) of the Electoral Act 2026.

Mr. President, It was Lord Denning In Parker Vs Parker who said "What is the argument on the other side? Only this, that no case has been found in which it has been done before. That argument does not appeal to me in the least. If we never do anything which has not been done before, we shall never get anywhere. The law will stand still whilst the rest of the world goes on…" There are numerous instances where judicial pronouncements have been utilized as an avenue to change the 'norm' in relation to how certain things are done. In Mojekwu Vs Mojekwu, Ukeje Vs Ukeje, et Al, the Supreme Court expressly condemned harmful customary practices that exclude women from inheritance, stating that No matter the circumstances of the birth of a female child, she's entitled to inherit from her deceased father’s estate. Imagine Ukeje did not approach the Court, afterall, 'it has been the law before I was born, why should I challenge it?' In Adediran v Interland Transport Ltd, Residents of Ire-Akari Housing Estate sued for public nuisance caused by the Defendant transport company's operations.  The Supreme Court made its first pronouncement that private individuals can sue for public nuisance without the Attorney-General's consent, based on Section 6(6)(b) of the Constitution which guarantees right of access to court. Imagine they didnt make that move and everyone has to apply to the AGF for consent to institute an action in public nuisance? 😂🤣😂 Issuing subtle threats to refer Lawyers who approach the Court in respect of these issues is a disguised military offensive to deprive our laws of being tested, thereby curbing the development of our legal jurisprudence. There are numerous problems plaguing our profession and the judiciary at large, but this is not one that requires this much dissipation of energy. Thank you for your kind attention to this matter.
