Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has faulted the verdicts of the Nigerian judges on the electoral matters, insisting that, three to five judges should not overturn decisions made by millions of voters during an election.

Obasanjo said it was totally unacceptable for three to five people (judges) to decide the fate of millions of voters.

The former President spoke in the wake of the ongoing judgments of the Court of Appeal on the electoral disputes arising from the 2023 elections in Nigeria.

Only last week, three governors were sacked in separate judgements delivered by the judges of the Court of Appeal.

The affected governors are, Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State, Abba Kabir Yusuf in Kano, and Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State.

The decisions have triggered reactions, earning the judiciary more knocks than kudos.

But, reacting to this, Obasanjo described the powers vested in the hands of a few judges as “totally unacceptable.”
