On The Live Transmission Of The Presidential Election Court Proceedings by Listic1: 9:56am On May 17, 2023 |
The process leading to the declaration of a person as the President of Nigeria by our courts is of serious national importance. In my view, it is as important as, if not more important than, the election itself. And so, it is necessary that, for whatever it is worth, Nigerians are able to engage with that process. Unfortunately, because of the sitting venue the vast majority of Nigerians cannot physically be present in the court. Even if that was possible, will the court hall accommodate the sheer number of those who are interested in following the proceedings? The straightforward answer is no. In fact, on the 11th of May, 2023 - the first day of the pre-hearing session, the presiding justice alluded to this. It is for this reason that I join others who have done so in calling for a live broadcast of the presidential election court's proceedings. But there is a more important reason for this proposition. In this age of disruptive social media tendencies and skewed media reportage, it is possible that the proceedings of the court may be deliberately misrepresented for pecuniary, political or other gains. We have begun to see traces of this already. The only way to stop this from happening or stemming it in its tide, is to allow for live broadcast of the court's proceedings. This will further help to curtail fake news and put their purveyors in check. I have intentionally left out the argument that live broadcast of the proceedings will ensure that the Justices stay above board and remain uncorrupted. That is a nonissue and it should not arise at all. Whether or not the proceedings is broadcast live has no bearing or impact on that. What counts and all that is necessary is that the proceedings is seen to be transparent and fair. As the saying goes, justice should not just be done; it should be seen to have been done.
