A social critic and scholar, Prof Farooq Kperogi, has described the judgement of the Apex court in the case between the Senate president, Ahmed Lawan and Machina, as rotten gaggle of useless and purchasable judicial bandit.
Farooq, made this remark on Monday, while reacting to the judgement of the Supreme Court affirming Ahmed Lawan, as the All Progressives Congress senatorial candidate for Yobe north.
In his statement, Prof, said he was awoken on this side of the world by news of the reversal by the Nigerian Supreme Court of Senate Pres. Ahmed Lawan’s primary election loss.
“I was already mentally prepared for it after the same Supreme Court affirmed
“Godwin Akpabio’s fraudulent primary win a few days ago. It’s a well-planned judicial choreography.
“The Nigerian Supreme Court is straight-up the most hopeless Supreme Court in the history of the world’s supreme courts.
“The same Court violated common sense and the will of voters and gave us a “Supreme Court governor” in Imo State who never even pretended to have won an election.
“Now it has given Yobe and Akwa Ibom states “Supreme Court senate candidates” in Lawan and Akpabio.
“Lawan was too busy trying to be APC’s presidential candidate to even participate in the senate primaries in Yobe and unsuccessfully begged Machina to stand down for him, but the Supreme Court just declared him the winner of a contest he didn’t participate in anyway. It’s a blatant case of “justice” for sale.
“Nigeria’s Supreme Court is, without a doubt, a rotten gaggle of useless, purchasable judicial bandits.
“The highest bidder gets their judgement. And they’re not even hiding this.
“Against the judicial oaths they swore, they openly cavort with politicians whose cases they sit in judgement over.
“They are greedy, grasping, unprincipled curmudgeons who need money, & anybody who gives them the most money gets the most favorable judgment.
“I think it’s Akpabio who popularized d saying that whatever money cannot do in Nigeria more money can do it. He knows Nigeria really well.”
