Human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, has berated the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Tanko Muhammad, and other judicial officers for attending a private dinner with President Muhammadu Buhari at the

Villa on Thursday.

The lawyer noted that Rule 1 of the Code of Conduct for Judicial Officers of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 2016 states that judges must avoid gatherings that could appear to members of the public that they have been compromised. Effiong said propriety and the appearance of propriety, both professional and personal, are essential elements of a judge’s life as members of the public expect a high standard of conduct from them.

Tell Atiku to invite the CJN for a dinner to balance the equation.

Must we read negative meaning to every move by mr president? Let's stop this and pray for the progress of Nigeria. All these condemnation won't bring the needed changes.

He who pay the piper

For breaking fast with the president and many others? Trump attends functions where SC judges are present, why should Nigeria be different? Since we like to copy and compare with the US, CJN supping with PMB is in order.

CJN is under obligation to obey and do whatever Buhari tells him. He is CJN today because Buhari place him there.

I once asked a Judge to chair my wedding he said they are allowed to appear in official functions and very less in social circles,is it the President that should known or the Judges should have told him. I need to be educated please.

It does not change the fact that he is still the CJN of this waybackward country nigeria. Nigeriawhichway? 😢

They are planning their agenda to scuttle the election results to favour Buhari and their evil fulanisation agenda. They will all die in disgrace and the survivors fulanis will leave Nigeria for good. The end of their evil father Usman Danfodio.

We can all be the judge of this.

Code of Conduct for Judicial Officers: 1.5: A judicial officer must avoid social relationships that are improper or may give rise to an appearance of impropriety or that may cast doubt on the ability of a judicial officer to decide cases impartially. Up to you Nigerian lawyers

See the eye the earth. This is a CJN accused of age falsification attending dinner with the President. As they are palling together, would anything come out of this accusation?

I wonder how he will be able to read the judgement. Just like Chelsea inviting all the officials of Europa league to a dinner. It is open robbery. No matter how good the judgement may be, the foundation is weak. Not at this time. The garb is stained. Equity is dead in 🇳🇬. Sad.

God help me because I'm not happy with anything Buhari does or is it since he rigged the last electi🙄ns? Maybe since he released captured BH members or perhaps since he suspended the CJN for personal interest... Zerointegrity

Only God can save us in dis Nigeria,d man with liars

How can 3 tears of government parley. Who will check one another. If we can't understand democracy. Let's go back to our villages.

Can't u see his fulanized face like dar of his oga?

But Senate president can dine with Buhari. YÉYÉ

Islamization on course I can't wait for Atiku asking him to recuse himself from the ongoing election tribunal soon

Them go collect their share of the moneyAnimals

Thy want call him to beg for the issues of xamfara, the want things be inconclusive,

That's how they roll

But the association n bandwagon of useless lawyers refused to fault the former, retired n corrupt CJN from attending Dubai strategy n Wike dinner. Bunch of useless people

From the first day I saw him I know tsnko is a criminal.

This break fast dinner with the judges typically subverts the cause of justice in view of the ongoing litigation on the presidential election.

These people don’t have an iota of dignity.

Quest to become CJN.

The same idiot lawyer didn't slam Saraki, Dogara and the leaders of the NASS for dinning with PMB right. This dinner is for. The three arms of government. Buhari has hosted the Executives, he hosted the legislature last week. Yesterday he hosted the judiciary.

Why wouldn't he dine with him he's one of his dogs

Ofcourse the CJN is a cabinet member by proxy. The judiciary is not independent arm of government in Nigeria, rather it’s a tool of the ruling elites

Nothing will happen and of course Atiku's case will be thrown out Midway. This is Nigeria

CJN has to recuse himself from office for breaching the law

Let him start thinking of RECUSE 😂😁😀

Tell me it's a joke.

Is a crime to attend dinner with mr. President!

Make una go sleep joor! He pays da Piper dictates the tune!
