2027: No INEC in Nigeria, only judiciary determines who rules – Fayose claims

Mr Isaac Fayose, younger brother to former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has raised the alarm over what he called the ‘collapse of democracy’ in Nigeria.

Featuring in an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’ on Wednesday, Fayose said there is no Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, in the country.

According to him, the judiciary determines who rules Nigeria, claiming that it is the reason houses are being built for judges.

“There is nothing like INEC or democracy in Nigeria. What we have now is government of the court, by the court and for the court.

“In the last 12 years, all the presidents have been to court. So, it’s the judiciary that have been giving us presidents. We’re no longer practicing democracy.

“Look, we’re looking to 2027 but it will still end up in court. We will have a coronation. We have dictators who are not in military uniforms.

“Take a look at what they are doing to the opposition: the African Democratic Congress, ADC, and the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC. They have taken them to square zero,” he said.
