The Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) Justice Ibrahim Mohammed has sworn-in the remaining 13 members of the 2019 Election Petition Tribunals.

A statement from Akande Festus, Supreme Court’s Director, Press and Information said the ceremony took place on Thursday in Abuja at the Supreme Court.

The members are Justices A.O. Onovo, R.O. Odugu, S.B. Belgore, T.A.O. Oyekan-Abullai, A.J. Coker, and E.I. Oritsejafor.Addressing the new members of the tribunal, Mr Mohammed admonished them to be of good character and endeavour to live above board. He said this was because all eyes were on them with a view to seeing them dispense justice without a tinge of partiality or favoritism.

Mr Mohammed also reminded them of the sacred nature of the oath they had just taken, stressing that it had become a bond between them and their creator.The acting CJN informed the new tribunal members that they were thoroughly examined and later fished out from the numerous judges in the country who were equally eminently qualified for this task.Meanwhile, two members, Justices I.O. Kasali and M.O. Obadina could not attend the ceremony.
