The President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem, has said that the appellate court so far received 600 pre-election matters from its 20 Divisions.

Dongbam-Mensem stated this on Friday when the Ambassador of the European Union Delegation, Samuela Isopi, paid her a visit in her office.

“The court received over 600 pre-election appeals in the 20 divisions of the court from November to date and more appeals are still being filed.

“Over 60 panels were set up in the various divisions to hear and determine all pre-election appeals filed.

“Mindful of the pressures under which the Hon Justices are working, some experienced registrars of the court were empanelled to summarise the decisions so far made and distribute to the various divisions to avoid conflicting decisions.”

She held that transparency in the electoral process was one of the core values of democratic stability in a nation.

She stated that the active involvement of Election Observation Missions in Nigeria to ensure free, fair, and credible elections is appreciated.

The Justice said:

“Pertinent to state that the role of these Observer Organisations have greatly impacted the resolve to review the Electoral Act, 2010.

“The Electoral Act, 2022 has introduced laudable innovations to strengthen our democracy and ensure credible elections.

“The Court of Appeal has reviewed, developed and expanded the scope of working materials for Judges.”

According to her, there was now a Judicial Electoral Manual that incorporated decisions of the Supreme Court and those of the appellate court and the “critical” fundamental sections of the Electoral Act, 2022.

The above was to ensure that appeals with similar facts and issues are categorised together to maintain the doctrine of stare decisis.

She said:

“In preparation of delivering its constitutional mandate, the court is faced with numerous challenges which include but not limited to paucity of funds.

“Permit me to state that the court is in a dilemma, we have just 21 days to the general election and the special intervention fund to conduct the Election Petition Tribunal is yet to be released.”

She added that this would impact negatively on the activities of the court and tribunals to effectively discharge their constitutional duties.

The president said:

“It is expected that by now, provisions would have been made for the procurement of necessary materials and equipment needed for the smooth running of the various tribunals.

“Also, we ought to have organised further trainings for Hon. Justices, Members of the Tribunals and Secretariat Staff but we cannot due to paucity of funds.

“We are hopeful that these challenges will be soon addressed before the conduct of the general election.

“I thank your excellences for the visit and look forward to a fruitful interactive session.”
