Nigerian scholars, activists warn of national crisis, demand Sahel envoy, judicial reforms

A group of Nigerian scholars and activists have issued a stark warning about a looming national crisis. They contend that the country's legislative branch is now largely subservient to the executive, significantly undermining democratic checks and balances. Furthermore, the judiciary is accused of having lost its independence and integrity, raising serious concerns about the rule of law.

These developments are critical because they threaten the foundations of Nigeria's democracy and could lead to widespread instability if not addressed.
