Election Petition

Governance is a major issue in development of any nation and the only way for leaders to emerge is through periodic elections. In fact, it is now acknowledged that the distinguishing factor between democracy and other forms of governance is periodic election. In Nigeria, electoral issues have taken the forefront of our justice administration. The issues are pre-election, election and post-election procedures.
