The Independent Judicial Accountability Panel (IJAP) is proposing a significant change to Nigeria’s election dispute process. They recommend terminating governorship and National Assembly election petitions at the Court of Appeal, rather than allowing further appeals to the Supreme Court. This suggestion aims to streamline the judicial process and expedite resolution of election-related disputes. IJAP believes ending petitions at the Appeal Court will reduce delays and the backlog of cases currently facing the Supreme Court. The panel asserts this would enhance the efficiency of the justice system following elections. The move seeks to ensure quicker finality to election outcomes and promote political stability. This recommendation comes as Nigeria continues to grapple with the complexities of its electoral system and the disputes that often follow.
