Dysfunctional politics not good -NLC
Font size:
The Congress in a statement signed by its vice president Issa Aremu said what the country needed urgently is the diversification of its economy.
“We must urgently diversify the economy. While we celebrate 50 years of development of oil sector, we must also lament the underdevelopment of the non-oil sectors and of course underdevelopment of our politics compared to even Sierra-Leone, Ghana and South Africa among other emerging democratic African nations.
“Meaningful development requires development of all aspects of the nation’s economy.
“Even as we applaud and/or fault pronouncements by the judiciary, we must realize that the judiciary is also being undermined with so many political cases at its disposal. Judges are now proned to cheap applause and cheap criticism”.
According to the labour union “Legitimate civil cases are suffering as most of the civil cases are now pending because of the absence of the judges who are busy with the electoral petitions, which in the first instance should not be the burden of the courts”.
The NLC however lamented that the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC), in the centre of the political mess was exonerated by the lower court “Nothing could be more unjustly cheeky”.
