ABSTRACT : This paper examines the concepts of Constitutional Force Majeure and Interregnum in the context of Nigeria’s political and legal landscape. It explores the historical and contemporary applications of these doctrines, including their implications for human rights, the rule of law, and democratic governance. Through a critical analysis of case law, statutes, and political events, the paper reveals the complexities and challenges of navigating extraordinary crises in a democratic setting. The research highlights the tensions between national security, individual liberties, and the pursuit of political stability, and argues for a balanced approach that safeguards human rights and promotes democratic consolidation. The findings contribute to ongoing debates about constitutionalism, political transitions, and the role of the judiciary in times of crisis. By examining the intersection of constitutional force majeure and interregnum in Nigeria, scholars and policymakers can gain valuable insights into how the country responds to legal challenges, political transitions, and constitutional crises. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of these concepts, offering a nuanced understanding of their implications for governance, rule of law, and democratic processes in Nigeria.
