President Bola Tinubu has urged the Nigerian Judiciary to live up to its expectation and shun those who only criticize the judiciary when the pendulum of justice does not swing towards their direction.
Represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, the President made the call 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.
“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.
He 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.
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.
