This 97% v 3% mantra nonsense of PMB is gradually destroying the foundation of Nigeria.


Because of your naivity, you could not reason that the national judicial council as a body makes this kind of recommendation to mr President who now as a matter of routine and procedure forward to the Senate for confirmation.

I suppose you didn't read this article before commenting. Look at this if you can:

"In the letter which was read by the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, he said the appointment was according to the advice of the National Judicial Council."

A Nigerian president doesn't appoint a Supreme Court Justice without NJC's recommendation.

It has nothing to do with tribe.

Man, we need education in this country. Folks claiming a president is prejudiced while refusing to see the same in themselves. Reommendation of NJC which by the way is headed by the CJN. Well, to educate people, appointment to the Supreme Court is by QUOTA...

Mysteryque:
President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed Musa Abaji as a Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.



He made this announcement via a letter he sent to the Senate on Tuesday.



In the letter which was read by the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, he said the appointment was according to the advice of the National Judicial Council.



“In line with 1999 constitution upon the advice of the National Judicial Council, I hereby refer for confirmation the appointment of Justice Musa Abaji as the Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.





“While hoping that this is expeditiously considered by the Senate, accept the assurances of my highest regard,” the letter read.



In another letter, the president declined assent to the Institute of Chartered Biochemist and Molecular Biology of Nigeria Bill 2018.



He said his decision to withhold assent to the bill was because, if passed, the bill will infringe on the mandate of the National University Commission and the National Board for Technology Education.



He also said there are drafting issues on the bill.



“Pursuant of section 68(4) of the constitution, I hereby convey to the senate the decision on the 5th November 2018 to decline presidential assent to the Institute of Chartered Biochemist and Molecular Biology of Nigeria bill 2018 recently passed by the National Assembly for the following reasons;



“A. The provisions of section 13(3) to give the chartered biochemist and molecular biology power to approve academic program and even close down programs in tertiary institutions will infringe on our mandate of the National University Commission and the National Board for Technology Education.



“B. There are certain drafting and administrative issues in the bill, including the failure in section 13(cool, 14 and 22(2) to designate a chairman for both the practice and publicity committee and or specific process for how a chairman should emerge for either of the education, practice and publicity committees.



“This can lead to confusion in the administration of the council,” the president wrote in his letter.

Children of hate. They are so ignorant and have no idea how judges are appointed. Judges are appointed strictly by hierarchy and those who are going to be judges even for the next 10 years are known. When a very senior level judge retires or dies ( including CJ), the judicial council presents the next name to the President and he just has to endorse that’s all.But hatred ignorance and crime are your inheritance, I can’t help you.

He was adviced by the Judicial Council to appoint someone as the Supreme court Justice.

They didn't tell him to appoint Musa his brother.

When there was no senior northerner to appoint as Custom DG, Buhari went and brought a retired Northern soldier to that position.


When all the senior officers to take over from Daura in the DSS were all southerners, Buhari went and brought another northern retiree to take over the DSS.

Posterity will judge him.

What did Obasanjo do in 1999? brought Kola Are from retirement to head DSS, what did GEJ do too, he appointed Ita Ekpenyong to head DSS in his own time too, our system is riddled with nepotism, its just that social media now allows us to see more now.

Read and don't live in naivety.

The Supreme Court is composed of the Chief Justice of Nigeria and such number of justices not more than 21, appointed by the President on the recommendation of the National Judicial Council, (NJC) and subject to confirmation by the Senate. Justices of the Supreme Court must be qualified to practice law in Nigeria, and must have been so qualified for a period not less than fifteen years. Justices of the Supreme Court of Nigeria have a mandatory retirement age of 70 years.[1]

It is the National Judicial Council that recommends judges and not political parties or the President. Stop displaying your illiteracy online.
