Why Politicians Boast And Tell Opponents To Go To Court – Aisha Yesufu

Human Rights Activist, Aisha Yesufu has revealed why Nigerian politicians always tell opponents to go to court after a contested election.

In a post via Twitter on Sunday, Aisha Yesufu recalled how the Supreme Court declared that the Card Reader Machines deployed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the 2015 election were not admissible in court.

According to Aisha, many corrupt politicians continue to tell opponents to go to court after an election because they can influence the judiciary in their favour.

She tweeted, “In 2015, the Supreme Court declared that Card Reader is not admissible in the court and that took our democracy back.

“Many corrupt politicians continue to stay in office because they have the judiciary in their pockets. They boast and tell opponents to ‘Go to court”
