Senate Confirms Olukayode Ariwoola As CJN by ExAngel007(op): 1:34pm On Sep 21, 2022
The senate has confirmed the appointment of Olukayode Ariwoola as the substantive chief justice of Nigeria (CJN).

Ariwoola has been holding the office since the resignation of Ibrahim Muhammad.

Muhammad resigned after 14 justices of the apex court accused him of abandoning his responsibilities as the leader of the court.

In July, President Muhammadu Buhari asked the senate to confirm the appointment of Ariwoola as CJN.

“Pursuant to section 231 (1) of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended; I forward for confirmation by the Senate of Honourable Justice Olukayode Ariwoola as the chief justice of Nigeria,” Buhari had said.

The upper legislative chamber confirmed Ariwoola as CJN on Wednesday after Abdullahi Gobir, senate leader, moved a motion to screen him in the “committee of the whole”.

The CJN was screened and subsequently confirmed through a voice vote.

Congratulations Justice Ariwoola. Hope your reign will bring a more meaningful revolution of the judiciary especially cleansing of corrupt judges from all strata of the bench.

With the confirmation of Olukayode Ariwoola as CJN, I have 100% assurance Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the next president of my beloved country Nigeria.

God bless the best team about to pilot the affairs of my beloved country.

Those people should concentrate on their online country and stop constituting nuisance as we Nigerians are about to change our leaders that will serve for the next 8 years.

God bless Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the next GCFR
God bless SW SS NW NE and NC.

Congrats to Yoruba chief justice.

The handling of Justice Onnoghen and the appointment of Justice Tanko have all impaired the position of the head of the judiciary.
It’s my prayer that Justice Olukayode can restore it.

Looks like a new CJN is announced before every election.

Sitting on that Bench Ariwoola, CJN has, before now, done his duty with uncommon attention to details. One is in the hope he can turn things around in the Judiciary this time around. His predecessor not unlike his own predecessor too messed up the Judiciary. Both men lacked the moral gumption to clean up the Augean stable the Nigerian Judiciary had become over time. Seriously wished Karibi-Whyte JSC made it to that Chair!
