Kano State gov­ernor, Engineer Rabiu Musa Kwan kwas o , has sworn in Justice Pa­tricia Mahmoud as the acting Chief Judge of the state

The acting Chief Judge replaces the Chief Judge, Justice Shehu Abubakar, who will officially retire on the January 10, 2015.

Speaking during the swearing in ceremony, which took place at the Government House on Friday, Kwankwaso said, the appointment was in line with Section 271 ,Sub section 4 of the Constitu­tion of the Federal Repub­lic of Nigeria.

The Section, he added, stipulated that the most senior judge should act pending the appointment of a substantive Chief Judge.

Kwankwaso stressed that his administration would continue to work harmoniously with the ju­dicial arm of government, while appealing to striking judicial workers to end the strike and return back to work in the interest of the nation.

The governor recalled the achievements of his administration in the ju­diciary, saying, he con­structed 30 Sharia courts, 26 magistrate courts, in­cluding some other on going constructions, since coming to power.

He further observed that arising from this feat, no judicial officer in the state is operating officially from a rented apartment as at today.

In his remarks, the out-going Chief judge of the state, Justice Shehu Abubakar, thanked the state government for the cordial relationship be­tween the executive and the judiciary during his tenure, while describing the incoming acting Chief Judge as hardworking and incorruptible.

Justice Patricia Mahmoud, an Idoma woman from Benue State, is married to Bar­rister Abubakar Balarabe Mahmoud (SAN) , an in­digene of Kano State.

She joined the Kano State Civil Service in 1991 and worked in the state Ministry of Justice from where she rose to her pre­sent position.

She is the most senior! Thus the only qualified?


So, whats the big deal?
If he didnt appoint her, then kano will exprience the Rivers state "progresive-ism".

Some people are already sounding like he did the woman or even christians a favour!

Nigerians are just too gullible.

She had been denied twice in the past of the same post due to her state of origin and political scheming. Kwankwaso shunned all that this time around and went ahead to appoint her. 5-10 years ago, I don't think this would be possible. Times are changing.

Ok.
They were doing somthing illegal and nobody dared to challenge them.

So we should clap for the governor for doing what he was supposed to do?
I dont think the the governor did the woman of Christians any favour.
He simply obeyed the constitution which he swore to uphold.
