The Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN),
Justice Ibrahim Muhammad, on
Monday administered oath on 11
newly appointed judges for the High
Court of the Federal Capital Territory
(FCT).
The swearing-in, which took place at
the headquarters of the Supreme
Court, was done despite protest by a
group in the South-east geopolitical
zone, against the exclusion of the
zone.
The group, the Registered Trustees of
Social Justice and Civil Rights
Awareness Initiative, had dragged the
federal government before a Federal
High Court in Abuja, over the
appointment of judges for the High
Court of the FCT.
The group, in the suit marked: FHC/
ABJ/ CS/ 830/2020, had prayed the
court to compel President
Muhammadu Buhari to include at
least one person from the South-east
into the list of newly appointed
judges of the FCT High Court.
Besides the president, other
defendants include the National
Judicial Council (NJC), the Judicial
Service Committee of the Federal
Capital Territory, the Attorney General
of the Federation (AGF), the Senate
and the Federal Character
Commission (FCC).
The counsel to the defendants, Alozie
Nmerengwa, further sought the
discontinuation of the process of
appointing new judges to the FCT
High Court until the defendants
comply strictly with the Federal
Character principles as enshrined in
the 1999 Constitution.
Meanwhile, the CJN urged the new
judges to be on top of their games,
warning that the Judiciary, under his
watch, would not condone any form
of indolence among judges.
Muhammad noted that as ministers
in the temple of justice, judges
should always be guided by the laws
of the land and remain faithful to
their oath of office.

Protest in Nigeria means nothing... If the government wants to do it, they will do it..

True. I don't even know why GEJ budged with protests against subsidy, protest against renaming UNILAG, other protests.

Buhari's disrespect for the constitution and court injunctions is brazen. The fool thinks he will rule forever and that subsequent regimes won't learn than heaven won't fall if they overlook protests and court injunctions.

Why protesting what God is doing? If these exclusion and marginalisation is not happening to the igbos some of you will not feel strong or compelled to support Biafra. A time will come when they will ask igbos to remain in nigeria and the questions igbos will ask them will be how many appointments were given to them? How many of them spoke against the killing of igbos in the north? Alot will really be said.
