The lawmaker representing Ideato North/Ideato South Federal Constituency of Imo State at the of the House of Representatives, Ikeagwuonu Ugochinyere, has said President Bola Tinubu is inviting anarchy to Nigeria.
Ugochinyere, who made the statement on Monday, was reacting to the recent judgment of the Federal High Court ordering the de-registration of African Democratic Congress, ADC; Action Peoples Party, APP; and three other political parties.
He cautioned that the ruling could take the country down a dangerous path reminiscent of periods of political instability in Nigeria and parts of Africa.
The Imo-born politician called on the National Judicial Council, NJC, to probe the circumstances that led to the judgment.
He also said that previous court rulings and legal arguments made before the court were not properly taken into account.
He urged the Nigerian Bar Association, NBAm, to safeguard the integrity of the judicial process, warning that the public confidence in the justice system could be eroded if the concerns raised about the judgment were not properly addressed.
“This is a call to unbridled anarchy. The judiciary is the last hope for the common man. “If we can disregard the decisions of superior courts, we are compromising one of the most important institutions of our democracy,” he said.
