In the main, the nation should also find a way of ensuring that political office holders who prosecute elections petitions after general elections pick their bills as candidates. There is nowhere in most democracies where the state picks the litigation bills of public officers who face judicial actions while in office. The huge litigation bills after general elections at both federal and state levels have become part of Nigeria’s domestic debt data that citizens are not asking questions about. We hope the civil society organisations and indeed the people note this critical debt detail in or money trail.
