The Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Tanko Muhammad, yesterday urged judges to write judgments not because of the monetary benefits

The CJN spoke at the inauguration of the ultra-modern High Court complex built by the Imo State government and named after the late Justice Chukwudifu Oputa.

“At the same time, when you walk in and see the name of the complex, Justice Oputa Complex, he is one of the greatest jurists this country ever had. Till today, if I am writing any judgment, I still rely on him because he was a great jurist. He was able to capture the law; he was able to explain it and was able to put it into clear words.

“When I came in as the governor, I was not lucky like those packaged by the elite of Imo State. I hadn’t any support of the big masquerade politician in the state. I came in as the governor of Imo State through the window of the masses and not through the door of the elite. I didn’t have the co-operation of who is who because I bend protocols for the good of the masses. I have never broken any protocol or law, I only bend it a bit and make sure it doesn’t break.
