In a letter by the justices, seen by Peoples Gazette, members of Nigeria’s judiciary expressed their concerns over their budgetary allocations that have not been increased in the last four years.



“We are serving this Country diligently and to the best of our ability. We resolve disputes between the Executive and the Legislature including all manner of disagreements, between governments and individuals…It would be a tragedy if the Nigerian Public were to know that we are unable to resolve our own problems internally without going public,” the letter said. “The decision to write to you formally must be seen by Your Lordship as an effort on our part to preserve the dignity of the Judiciary and the respect accorded to us by Governments and people of Nigeria.”

The issues raised by the justices in the letter include the failure to replace dilapidated vehicles, accommodation problems, poor healthcare services at the Supreme Court clinic and poor electricity supply to the Supreme Court.

The justices also lamented the increase in electricity tariffs, no modified allowances to reflect the increase in diesel prices and lack of internet services in their chambers.

The justices called Mr Tanko’s attention to an internal memo served by the Chief Registrar, which notified judges that electricity would be supplied to the court between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. daily, due to the lack of diesel.

“The implication of this memo is that the Justices must finish their work and close before 4pm. Your Lordship with all due respect, this is the peak of the degeneration of the Court; it is the height of decadence, and clear evidence of the absence of probity and moral rectitude,” the Justices wrote. “Your Lordship, this act alone portends imminent danger to the survival of this Court and the Judiciary as an institution, which is gradually drifting to extinction.”

Other issues cover the non-signing of amended Court Rules, an abrupt stoppage of foreign workshops and training per annum for justices; and no provision of qualified legal assistants.

As such, the judges called Mr Tanko’s sense of responsibility into question, fearing a potential shutdown of the judiciary due to the raised concerns.

“Your Lordship, this is a wake-up call. Your Lordship must take full responsibility as our leader. You must not concession your responsibility to people who have no responsibility or stake in preserving and defending the dignity of the Institution,” the letter said. “Your Lordship occupies a position of leadership. We will not wait for the total collapse of the institution.”

The letter was delivered early in June, and Supreme Court sources confirmed to the Gazette that a commotion had broken out over it. They also said a committee that included traditional leaders has been trying to mediate the crisis.

When reached for comment, Ahuraka Isa, Special Assistant to Mr Tanko on media, said he would respond with a statement.

Thinking it's about the poor Nigerians just find out they are only crying about their pockets.
Only God is for the poor Nigerians, only God!
Not the president, not your candidate or my candidate or any politician we are just chasing clout with hope.
In the end I pray may Almighty choose the Best leaders for us, not just those who we want to be.
He's all knowing and master of all

Our Judge is the most soiled CJN!

Like begget like, what were you expecting from a judge who do not know the difference between technicality and the substance of a matter and appointed by buhari. Am surprised you are disappointed.

Quota system product

One babalawo-ish looking being that has no merit was made a CJN by a “nincompoop” what do you expect?

Obi is the answer

If you can read and write at all, then you will see that the judges are just asking for more money to be shared. They should be arrested and locked up for attempted looting.

Who gave you the phone you used to type this? Return it

Despite the bribe they receive to turn justice upside down they are still complaining.Mention one judge that doesn't have a foreign asset and a house in a highbrow city in abuja?They live an ostentatious livestyle.

Tanko ,the Aeroplane driver?

So, you guys thought he is there because he's responsible? He was selected just because he is irresponsible

Can anything good come out of a Sharia judge ?

Did they just realise that?
Most Blind people knew that long ago!

President- Fulani Muslim
Vice President- Fulani Side Chick
Senate President- Fulani Muslim
House of Reps Speaker- Apprentice to Fulani Overlords
CJN- Fulani Brukutu drunkard

95% of Service Chiefs- Fulani Muslims

Yet some group of paid urchins want to foist an appendage of the Fulani thieving orligarch on us.

God forbid Atiku and Tinibu as President of Nigeria!

Supreme court billionaires still want more money ?

That's what you get when you have a sharia judge as ur cjn.

The country has been a joke since it was created as a joke by the British.

These ones are complaining because the loot isn't reaching them. The same judiciary that the executive has pocketed. Downline, Justice is for the highest bidder. These judges were there when they were given a Sharia man to lead them yet complained not. What did they expect?

I really pity honest judges in this country. Until we become a country with sense, institutions will not function.

Vote Peter Obi for president. It's a simple solution.

Let's start from the basics, please, and stop referring to this contraption and appendage of the British, duly handed to the Fulanis with the colonial template, and backing, to do as they please, so long as the owners of the company, keep getting free access to plundering whatever they deem fit, it's all fair game and in order.

Useless people.

People's Gazette will doctor a letter by themselves and then share it as news.

That letter looks doctored.
