Buhari accused of ethnic bias in S’Court judges’ appointment

Judiciary watchdog, Access to Justice, says it has reasons to believe that the President, Major General Muhamadu Buhari , is ethnically manipulating the appointment of Supreme Court justices.

“The Presidency has offered no explanations whatever for what is a huge and remarkable contrast in the pace with which it acted on the recommendations of the NJC with respect to both sets of nominations,” A2Justice said in its statement, titled, ‘Appointment of Justices of the Supreme Court: Buhari’s antics sets alarm off on the future of the Nigerian judiciary’.

The group said, “The impression all of this creates is that the President was set on manipulating how the Supreme Court is configured, politically and ethnically, now and for the near future; he wanted to determine how seniority amongst the justices of the Supreme Court is ordered as well as which justices of the court can be expected to succeed to the highest judicial office as Chief Justice of Nigeria.

“Furthermore, that the President was willing to wait out the occurrence of that event as well as ensure that its targets did not lose their comparable rankings with earlier nominated persons notwithstanding that the Supreme Court was almost collapsing with overbearing workloads due to its lean workforce.
