Femi Falana, a prominent human rights lawyer, has formally requested that the National Judicial Council (NJC) and the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) conduct an investigation into the discrepancies in recent Federal High Court rulings concerning the authority of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as it pertains to the upcoming 2027 general elections. In a statement released on Wednesday, Falana emphasized the need for clarity and consistency in judicial decisions to ensure the integrity of the electoral process. He highlighted that conflicting judgments could undermine public confidence in the electoral body and the judicial system. The call for an inquiry aims to address these legal inconsistencies and uphold the rule of law in Nigeria's electoral framework.
