Former Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) Mike Igini has publicly accused the Nigerian judiciary of actively contributing to the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election. Igini alleges the courts failed to uphold the democratic process during a pivotal moment in the nation’s history. He warned that a commitment to democratic principles within the judiciary is crucial for Nigeria’s continued stability. The 1993 election, widely considered free and fair, was annulled, leading to political turmoil. Igini’s statements highlight ongoing concerns about the independence and impartiality of the Nigerian judicial system. His accusations call for greater accountability and a stronger defense of democratic institutions within the country. The former REC’s remarks underscore the lasting impact of the June 12 annulment on Nigeria’s political landscape.
