    2027: Let Nigerians decide your emergence, ex-NBA chairman tells politicians

    A former chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association Kano branch, Sagir Gezewa, advised politicians to let voters decide the 2027 general elections at the ballot rather than through the courts. He urged lawyers to uphold justice, the rule of law, and the will of Nigerians if election disputes reach the courts, noting fewer pre-election cases so far compared to previous cycles possibly due to the amended Electoral Act.
