Former President, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, has charged the Independent National Electoral Commission and the Nigeria Judiciary to end the avalanche of post- elections litigations in Nigeria.
“I am glad to join the governor to commission this major project, this is the third project I have commissioned in Delta. He said that the history of the high court building project began since 1991, adding that it was on record that with commitment, the governor was able to complete the project and inaugurate it.He said that the governor had promised to do more for the judiciary, but as the governor rightly said that “this is an edifice of justice, Nigerians are expecting the best of the judiciary officers”.
“So, if the judiciary do not declare those who did not win elections winners, that remaining 50 per cent will also not go to court,” he said. ” So, the judiciary should be very strong and do the right thing so that this avalanche of litigation after elections will stop in this country,” Jonathan said.
Oborevwori said he was motivated to complete the project because the judiciary was the only arm of government without a befitting building for their operations. The Commissioner for Housing, Mr. Godknows Angele, said the building consisted of five floors, six court rooms, six conference halls, six witness waiting rooms.
