Sam Amadi’s criticism comes at a time when the Nigerian election process has been marred by delays and controversies. The delay in the commencement of the election has led to concerns about the credibility of the process and the ability of the electoral commission to conduct a free and fair election.
In his tweet, he expressed the following sentiments:
“It is deeply saddening that Nigeria has wasted precious weeks since February 25th to commence the election in earnest. It is an utterly shameful situation. Our legal framework requires a complete overhaul. The US Supreme Court would swiftly resolve such disputes in a matter of days, leaving all parties to accept the outcome, whether it brings joy or sorrow.
“We have constructed an elaborate system of futility under the guise of litigation. We must promptly deconstruct it and establish a more efficient and equitable alternative. The current procedures deny justice in electoral cases, regardless of the eventual winner. I’m referring to election-related cases.”
Sam Amadi’s tweet reflects the frustration and disappointment of many Nigerians who are eager to exercise their democratic right to vote. It highlights the importance of timely and efficient resolution of disputes to ensure a fair and transparent election process.
