Of course, it is unacceptable A democracy doesn't work that way. A judge rules against you, because you have power of coercion you invade his house at night, arrest him, release him on self cognisance and then expect him to step down until you prove he is guilty of corruption.
Does that make sense to you? If you succeed to make him step down what do you think will happen to any judge assigned your case? Fearful? Is that what you are prescribing for the Nigerian judiciary? To a large extent Nigerian intellectuals are a huge disappointment to Nigeria. Surface thinkers.
There is a constitutional process for dealing with corrupt judges. Even with his high level of incompetence, attested to by even his wife, nobody is seeking to remove PMB by unconstitutional means. That is how democracy grows.
On October 25, 2007, the Supreme Court of Nigeria, in a landmark judgment, nullified the Election of Mr. Celestine Omehia as the governor of Rivers State. In his stead, the
former Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi was installed as the new governor of the State.
Tha verdict shocked everyone, because Amaechi never stood for elections. Many legal luminaries have expressed regret at that judgment stating that, at best or worse, a rerun election should have been ordered. But that is history.
With the strange events happening in October 2016, we can now sniff how Amaechi performed that magic and procured the Governorship seat.
