Fayose Warns: Nigeria’s Presidents Chosen in Court, Not at Polls

Isaac Fayose says Nigeria has lost its Independent National Electoral Commission and real democracy. He argues that judges, not voters, now decide who leads the country.

He predicts the 2027 election will also end up in a judicial ‘coronation.’ He calls current leaders “dictators in civilian clothes” and accuses the system of reducing opposition parties to nothing.

I'm not convinced judges always override public will—courts might only confirm genuine irregularities rather than handpick leaders.

Perhaps strengthening INEC's transparency and speeding up tribunal processes could reduce post-election litigation and restore voter confidence.
