The President General of Association of Igbo Town Unions (ASITU), Chief Emeka Diwe has called on Nigerian judiciary to restore the dignity and lost glory in the system.
Diwe made this appeal in an open letter he addressed to the Judiciary which was made available to TBE Magazine. In the letter, the Igbo Town Union leader said that the lost glory of the judicial system in Nigeria would have been restored by the time the judges who are passing judgement on the 2023 general election at all levels and especially the Presidential election, discharge their duties without fear or favor. He noted that the whole world is watching the Nigerian judiciary to see what will become of the 2023 Presidential lawsuit before it.

TBE Magazine had reported the alleged wide violence, rigging, result manipulation and other irregularities that characterised the 2023 general election, especially that of the President. PDP and Labor party had gone to court to challenge the results announced by INEC.
Please find the letter below;
"Fellow Nigerians and ministers in the temple of justice. I am moved to drop this few words of admonition and encouragement to members of the bench and bar of our most sacred judicial institution. Particularly, the constituted panel of Election Petition
Tribunal following the 2023 general election in Nigeria.
The judiciary, every where in the world, should be the last hope of common and uncommon man. This hope is hinged on the impartial, fair, just and unbiased ministers at the hallow temple of justice . Unfortunately, the hope and confidence reposed in the judiciary particularly in Nigeria, has drastically waned in recent time due to vicissitudes of controversial and outlandish judgements, sometimes delivered by court of highest instance.
The court which was once a chamber of awe and justice is fastly becoming a place of shield for criminals who are either rich, and, or connected. It is this desecration that has given rise to a fast growing demeaning phrase " go to court'. This ruinous phrase associated with the judiciary is a matter of deep jurisprudential concern.
Worried by the erosion of the sacredness of the judiciary, one of the sound legal minds Nigeria has produced, Prof Nnamdi Obiaraeri, made stunning statements in one of his write ups. He said, " why the sudden bold and audacious embrace of the court system by criminals and miserable offenders?"... 'law breakers cannot stay in the wrong and shamelessly goad law abiding citizens to Go To Court in the full knowledge that he who comes to equity must come with clean hands".
I therefore appeal to the leaders of judicial arm at all levels, especially the Election Petition Tribunal, to use this opportunity of election tribunal petition to restore the soiled image of the judiciary by ensuring that justice is not only done but seen to be done. The bedrock of democracy is the rule of law and there cannot be rule of law without judicial independence.
Let me remind you that the outcome of this year's election petition tribunal, particularly the Presidential Election, is a defining moment for the judiciary and Nigeria as a nation. I therefore urge you to do the needful in spite of whose ox is gored.
When people get away with crime because they are influencial, connected or rich, it tipped the scale against fairness and equity. Like Matin Luther Jr,
would say, " there can be no justice without peace and there can be no peace without justice".
As you sit to tackle the varied challenges of the February 25th, and March 18 general election, I pray that God should grant you the wisdom to do your job without fear or favour, so that the dignity of Nigeria Judiciary will be restored.
Thank you.
Chief, Sir Emeka Diwe
President, Association of Igbo Town Unions (ASITU)".
