Tanko Muhammad Set To Resign As Chief Justice Of Nigeria by Omooba77: 9:58am On Jun 27, 2022
Chief Justice of Nigeria, Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad is set to resign his position.

According to Arise News, the reasons for his resignation is still sketchy but DAILY POST recalls that a letter was recently leaked where justices of the Supreme Court expressed their concerns over their budgetary allocations that have not been increased in the last four years.

Some of 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.

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.

Other issues covered 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.

Muhammad has served as a Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria since 2005 and was appointed Chief Justice of Nigeria in 2019.

He was formerly a Justice of the Nigerian Court of Appeal.

Let's wait for more details.

But it is not unlikely that his resignation is connected with the striking out of the case that the Federal Government and the Anthony general of the federation made against some provisions of the new electoral laws. That was the only time any other arm of government went against the executives in this administration.

In the coming days we will see a lot of infighting amongst the elites and political class. My concern though is the impacts it will have on many busybody ordinary citizens (girlfriend dumps boyfriend for not supporting Obi, man slap his wife for saying Tinubu did not go school, family divided over the rift between Atiku and Wike, bla bla...)

That someone is set to resign doesn't mean he has resigned. (That is if it's true)

Coming from AriseTV, I will take this news with every bit of scepticism.
AriseTV are known for breaking fake news only to then retract it.

This is the reason why Channels TV will keep on winning multiple awards over their counterparts.

Let's wait and see

He has been sick since 2020. If this news is true, it means they waited for Odili to retire before allowing him to resign.
