Former President Goodluck Jonathan has expressed concerns regarding the integrity of Nigeria's democratic process, suggesting that a legitimacy crisis may arise if the judiciary continues to play a pivotal role in determining election outcomes. He noted that the trend of politicians resorting to the courts following elections stems from a belief that judicial decisions can be influenced to reverse the electorate's choices. Jonathan's remarks highlight the potential risks to democratic governance if electoral disputes are increasingly settled in court rather than through the ballot box.
