JUDICIALISM AND THE FATE OF POLITITCAL JUMPOLOGISTS:
Introduction:
In every societal setting whether rural, urban or metropolitanism; there must be a kind of administrative arrangement that Will engender peace hence, judicialism.
Judicialism is the selflessly apportioning justice to every one in the society through judicial process.
According to polititcal ladder portfolio, Judiciary is the third estate of the political realm. This realm is made up of legal juggernauts who are intellectually balanced, morally sound, ethically certified and legally hypnotized to guarantee justice in human rights defence industry; the realm is an embodiment of professionals who in legal parlance are christened as learned colleagues who had one way or the other passed integrity tests of astronomical propensity!.
According to the trinitarian arrangement of government that is Federally based, powers flow from the center (Federal government) through the middle (state government) to the grass root (Local government).
In such barkanization of polititcal powers, on the negotiation table, there must be clash of interest culminating in the confrontation and polititcal hullabaloo of sort; in this dilemma, the overbearing workability of Judiciary is brought to the fore to restore peace and justice!!.
But, conversely; the hitherto experience we had over Judiciary in Nigeria has been the auctioning of justice to the highest bidder thereby leaving the proletariat to self help.
The over Bourgeolization of justice by the jurists has in totality reduced the confidence reposed in abinitio on Judiciary by the populace. Upon critical harvest and evaluation of public opinions,we are beginning to see paradigm shift from the old order........
The latest judgement given by justice Iyang Ekwo against Dave Umahi, the former governor of Ebonyi state is a litmus test for politicians and it gives democratic impetus to human rights and adds credence to Independence of Judiciary.
The legal innuendo of technicalities are minimized.
The time to sustain democracy through judicial pronouncements is now!!!.
