President Bola Tinubu has advised the Nigerian judiciary to live up to its constitutional mandate.
The President gave the warning at the public presentation of the book, “Judging With Justice”, an autobiography of the immediate past Chief Justice of the Federation, Justice Olukayode Ariwoola in Abuja.
He urged the judiciary to shun those who only criticize them when the pendulum of justice does not swing towards their direction.
Represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, the President noted that the pension of judicial officers have been firmly secured as retired justices will now enjoy their last salaries as their pension for life.
“I urge the Nigerian judiciary to live up to its constitutional mandate and ignore those who never see anything good in the judiciary unless the pendulum of justice swings their way,” Tinubu said.
The event, which was chaired by former Head of State, Abdusalami Abubakar, was held at the International Conference Centre Abuja, a few hours after the official retirement of Justice Ariwoola.
Other guests at the occasion included Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, who has been recommended to President Bola Tinubu by the National Judicial Council to take over from Justice Ariwoola, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, Ooni of Ife, as well as Justices of the Supreme and Appeal Courts.
