Tinubu To Kekere-Ekun: I Won’t Interfere In Judicial Matters by Kuginzi: 7:39pm On Sep 30

President Bola Tinubu has vowed that his administration will uphold the judiciary’s independence and sanctity.

Speaking at the swearing-in ceremony of Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun as the 23rd Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Tinubu said his government would be mindful of the line demarcating the executive and the judiciary.

He said his administration would not interfere in the matters of the other organs of government.

The event held at the Council Chamber of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Monday.

"The judiciary is an important pillar constituting the tripod that holds our constitutional democracy. Indeed, the Nigerian judiciary, at various times in history, has proven to be the moderating force ensuring everyone remains in check.

“Your role as the last hope of the common man serves to sustain our people’s confidence in democracy, knowing well that there is an important arbiter that can always give them redress if they are wronged.

"For this function, it is important that our judiciary remains truly independent. It is my administration’s total commitment to preserve the sanctity of the judiciary.

“While we may have reasons to interface as complementing components of the same government, under my watch, the government will also be mindful of the clear line demarcating the two of us.

"We will never interfere or abuse the relationship between us as separate organs of government in our democracy. This is important for sustaining our constitutional democracy.”

He urged Justice Kekere-Ekun to continue upholding the principles of ethical leadership, fearlessness, and honesty which he said defined the CJN’s career.

Tinubu added: “The Nigerian judiciary needs a leader with these qualities at this time, and I have no doubt that you will set the pace for others to follow.

“This day has also cemented the judiciary as a self-evolving and progressive institution. I specifically congratulate the Nigerian women. Any girl child can dream big and have her dreams come true. It is worth celebrating.”

Justice Kekere-Ekun is the second female CJN in Nigeria’s history.

Of course simply because the judiciary is already a vestigial appendage of the executive. Nothing new

Statements of a great leader

No doubt! His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) is the best thing that happened to Nigeria since Independence.

A charismatic and upright leader who always abides by the rules, laws and regulations.

A man after God’s heart. Practically none like him.

We don't have powerful institutions that work independently, we only have powerful men that capture these institutions and do as they like with them. See what the are doing with INEC and the Courts.. appoint whom they like and use them like puppets.

The beauty of all of these tho is that the power you wield is only transient.. posterity would very well remember you by how you wield it.

You won't interfere until the next elections.
