The year 1993 marked a significant turning point in Nigeria's judiciary, characterized by a series of political upheavals. Within a span of five months, the military orchestrated two coups, beginning with the June nullification of a presidential election by General Ibrahim Babangida, who was then the military ruler. This event set the stage for a broader crisis within the country's governance and legal systems, raising concerns about the potential for judicial instability. The commentary by Chidi Anselm Odinkalu, published in the National Accord Newspaper, reflects on these historical events and their implications for Nigeria's legal framework.
