This book, with the intriguing title, A Right to be Wrong, by Celestine Omehia, a lawyer/politician, is about the Supreme Court decision in Amaechi v. Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) [2007] 18 NWLR (Pt 1065) 105. The decision must go down in history as one of the most amazing decisions ever handed down by a court of law in a democratic polity founded on the rule of law. The decision is amazing because it makes a mockery of the lofty principles and ideals of democracy, constitutionalism and justice which it professes to affirm, uphold and apply.
It is important to note that this is the second edition of this book and like I rightly pointed out in the first edition, the choice of this title and the subject matter was not a thing of accident. It was predicated upon my observations of the unwholesome Labour Relations in the Nigerian Industrial set-ups. As at the time of making up my mind about this book, there was an unequal balanced relationship between the employers of labour in all segments of our Labour Relations on the one hand and those employed to do any kind of work on the other. The other reason is my realization that there is every need for legal practice to go into minute specialization. We could specialize in every aspect of the law for purposes of effective practice, specialization and representation.
