Tinubu Had No Conversation With CJN On Election Petition – Supreme Court

“The rule of law and supremacy of the Nigerian Constitution will always be upheld and applied in every matter that comes before the courts, as the facts presented and the subsisting laws must be applied in determining the merit or otherwise of each matter. The public should rest assured that justice will be done to all matters pending in the various courts across the country, irrespective of who is involved,” Festus said.

He said “People no longer trust judges; the judiciary lives with a massive trust deficit. The Supreme Court and judiciary have realised that there is trust deficit against them and it’s up to them to address it”. Speaking on the appointment of Olukayode Ariwoola Jnr as high court judge, he said the CJN ought to have recused himself from the committee.

“CJN should not appoint his son a high court judge no matter how good he is; if he must, then he should recuse himself.” Commenting on the effects of subsidy removal, he said the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu acted in haste.
