he Anglican Bishop of Kaduna Diocese, Cathedral Church of St. Michael, Timothy Yahaya, has asked the Nigeria judiciary to hasten up and conclude the 2023 presidential election petitions before May 29.
The cleric stated that 30 days were enough for the judiciary to dispense with all election matters while urging those saddled with such responsibilities to emulate Kenya, where a similar thing had happened on the continent.
Yahaya, who spoke to newsmen shortly after his Easter message to Nigerians in Kaduna on Sunday, noted that the speed with which the judiciary in Kenya, an African country, handled its presidential election petition matters and the subsequent declaration of the winner should be emulated by their Nigerian counterpart.
He said, “A country like Kenya did not swear in a president; the judiciary swung into action and did away with post-election cases before the swearing-in date.
“What is wrong with Nigeria? Are we delaying because we want to collect allowances? Are we delaying because corruption has eaten everything? There is nothing difficult about this case; in less than 30 days, we can dispense with this case.
“The election was finished in February, swearing in will be by the end of May, and yet the cases have not been heard. For me, what is not in the Nigerian constitution is not in the Nigerian constitution. Related New
