Pat Utomi, a Professor of Political Economy, has criticized the judiciary for its role in elections. Utomi, in a post on his X account, warned that history will judge the judiciary's actions in every election cycle. He emphasized that a strong democracy depends on institutions that protect citizens' rights. Utomi stressed that if those entrusted with upholding justice fail to regain the public's trust, history may associate them with the decline of the Nigerian dream.
He pointed out that low voter turnout indicates a weakened democratic mandate and that the judiciary has a critical responsibility to uphold justice and the democratic process. Utomi characterized the current administration as a minority government in terms of electoral mandate and called on all institutions to rise to the responsibility of safeguarding democracy and the Nigerian people.
