After Losing Out As Appeal Court President, Buhari Elevates Judge Who Presided Over Case Against Atiku As Supreme Court Justice | Sahara ReportersEarlier in the year, the President and his cabals pushed for Garba to be appointed as President of the Court of Appeal despite the recommendation of Monica Bolna’an Dongban-Mense by the National Judicial Council but did not succeed due to massive outcry. MBuhari atiku This Govt is hell bent on destroying every arm of Govt and have them in their pockets. A sad commentary for Nigeria. MBuhari atiku And to this most foolish online media, Atiku's case was the only thing he did and since he sat over Atiku's case he is not entitled to elevation. Yeye media. MBuhari atiku And the president doesn't unilaterally promotes any judge. All judges are elevated based on recommendation by the NJC. These names the President forwarded to d Senate today were names already recommended by NJC after its virtual meeting held last month
