God bless President Muhammadu Buhari and his AMIABLE Vice President PROF YEMI OSINBAJO for all they are doing to make our once battered and raped nation work again.

God bless Nigeria.

In June 2019, the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), wrote a letter requesting the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Muhammadu, to “initiate in earnest the process of appointing additional five Justices of the Supreme Court of Nigeria to make the full complement of 21 Justices” as provided by the Constitution.

But the President has yet to act on the list of four Justices of the Court of Appeal recommended by the National Judicial Council and sent to him for appointment to the apex court’s bench since October 2019.

A statement by the NJC’s Director, Information, Mr Soji Oye, had stated that the council, at its meeting held on October 22 and 23, 2019, recommended Justices Adamu Jauro, Emmanuel Agim, C. Oseji, and Helen Ogunwumiju.

freeze001:


Mr Grillz, first, it is contrary to the tenets of democracy and separation of powers that the head of the executive will write to the head of the judiciary ordering him to commence the process for the appointment of justices to the Supreme Court. The process is clearly laid down in the constitution.

Secondly, while ignoring the overbearing tendencies of the Executive, the NJC which has the Constitutional power to recommend prospective appointees to the President for his approval has indeed done so and names have been forwarded to the President since October 2019. This is February, 2020. Can you give any coherent explanation for why the dullard of a president who is most unaware has not taken requisite action on the process of appointment for over 4 months now? I'm sure you read the entire article and you can see clearly that the process has since been delayed by Buhari so why are you making any fuss over his ill-fated letter to the CJN?

I will comment later, sleep stil dey my eye


And again, shebi NBA na basketball team, wetin concern Supreme Court for basketball?

Someone shud enlighten mi

BrokenTV:
If you check well I believe the reason why the Presidency have not activated is because the nominated Judges are from southern Nigeria.

It could be that those judges are not the most qualified or senior.only helen ogunwumiju is qualified to be in that list.justice emmanuel agim is inexperienced and relatively new just like jauro and oseji.judges like m.l.garba,monica dongban,anyanwu,i agube etc should have made the list

Tozilly:

My broda, dis is a public fora n we don't hv to misinform d public. There is no law whatsoever that states that only d most senior justices of appellate court will b nominated. Any of them can b nominated once u meet d criteria which is number of QUALITY judgements delivered and of course man no man as they say in Nigeria parlance not forgetting quota system as it is a major criteria. I can name up to 5 JSC presently that spent less than 6 yrs in appellate court. in fact one of dem spent only 4yrs before being moved to supreme court. My point is the age of Methuselah has nothing to do with wisdom of Solomon. A " junior judge"can b more competent n sound in law than the most senior judge. Dis is same thing dat is killing our civil service where more competent people r in lower cadre n nobody regards or even seek der opinions thereby leaving d big man directors most with empty brain to pilot our affairs. U can't give what u don't have. For an egalitarian society to b achieved,we must do away with all dis seniority nonsense n embrace meritocracy. My two cents!!

Shut up.

I'm sure you want him to speedily accept a list that doesnt follow laid down guidelines.

Nigeria is simply the way it is because it your likes.

Please do not procreate.

Access to Justice said it made repeated attempts to ascertain the extent of compliance of the respondents with the 2014 National Judicial Council Guidelines for the Appointment of Judicial Officers using the Freedom of Information Act but without success.

”The respondents failed to respond to enquiries relating to the process adopted for the selection of potential appointees,” the group said.

Kennydoc:



Now, this is an excerpt from the link you shared:



Is it not obvious that the so called Access to Justice aren't even sure if the claim they are making?

Which laid down rules has Buhari been following in all his appointments so far?
For the first time since the existence of Nigeria, federal character principle was murdered and buried, and as if that was not enough, its corpse was exhumed and incinerated.
Has your Buhari followed any rule or obeyed and court order in executing any task before?
Young man, I say get out! And after you get out, still get out from wherever you get out to.

voltron14:


Shut up.

You want the president you did not vote for to make stupid decisions.

Shut up.

garfield1:


Seems your cogitative ability is frozen.in the spirit if democratic tenets,if the number of judges are alarmingly low,it behoves on the executive or legislature to remind or advice the judicisry to do its duty.this is part of checks and balances whereby when one arm of government is misbehaving,the others can advice or reprimand.separation of powers does not mean each will mind its business indefinitely and watch things go awry afterall there are several cases even in the u.s where one arm cautions the other.

Again,you contradicted yourself in a haste to justify calling the president a dullard.if the list is to be sent to the president for approval and transmission to the senate,does it not occur to you that the president has the power to reject or disapprove of the list if he doesn't like the names there? Since the senate has the power to screen or reject the nominees,the president can also reject the names..

If i a layman can have reasons to reject 3 out of 4 recommended judges,then the president must have bigger reasons.[b]mind you,most of those judges are relatively inexperienced.[/b]there are more than ten judges that outrank them in rank and judgments.the president has the discretion to do whatever he likes with the list.before attacking him ignorantly,be sure of your facts boy

Kennydoc:


ALMAJIRI!
See the reasoning of a youth with access to the internet in d 21st century!

First, judges are subject to the NJC which has power to screen and interview all candidates nominated (by judicial service commissions) for judicial appointments to Superior Courts of Record in the Federation. Any investigation for suitability or otherwise would be sorted out and resolved by the NJC before recommendation to the President. The president does not have the power to decide what judge will be recommended by the NJC, that would be interfering with the powers of the judiciary.

@ the bold: These are justices of the court of appeal being recommended for elevation to the Supreme court. What inexperience are you blabbing about? Also understand that federal character is respected in appointments to the Supreme court and must be taken into consideration so that at all times, geopolitical zones are equitably represented.

Finally, the information at our disposal per this news is that no action has been taken from or by the President. If he had rejected some names for whatever reason, that would have been reported to say that the Presidency after whatever investigation say by the DSS or other government agency, found some of the recommended judges unsuitable but like I said, it is not even the place of the president to do so. That can only happen under the table especially now we have an aeroplane-driving CJN as head of the NJC.

I will not toe the same childish lines you have by insulting your betters. Just get an education!

PROJECTBASE:

Simple thing. Commit suicide and choose wisely when you are coming in the next world

garfield1:
.
If you had gotten an education first,you wont call buhari a dullard for indirectly refusing to send the list.look at the rubbish you are vomiting,the president does not have the power to reject names transmitted to him.if so,why can't the njc transmit to the senate directly and bypass the presidency?
Whether you like it or not,the president has the powers to unofficially influence the final shortlist of judges.past presidents have done it,buhari won't be an exception.continue mourning over your loss in bayelsa,kogi and lately imo.
You are mocking the incorruptible tanko.where were you when katsina alu was committing all sorts of judicial abominations?

garfield1:

The imo appeal to review will be thrown out

egoldman:


Yes, that's why Buhari is delaying their confirmation, cos they are not likely to rule in APC favour.

freeze001:


All you are after is defending a cadaver that is naturally unaware of your existence, you are not concerned that the Supreme court is now alarmingly understaffed and the judges aen't babies either! At the time Tanko became CJN, there were 16 judges. Today, there are 13; NJC has since recommended judges to Buhari and no action has been taken. That is the crux of the matter!

I have already stated that whatever underhanded thing or indirect actions as you put it can be taken because we have a dullard for president and aeroplane-driving Tanko for CJN. However, they do not have to be slow about it! Names forwarded since October and till date no action? That's the height of ineptitude no matter the horse-trading that is taking place at that level.

Pull your head out of your butt-crack and reason objectively for once, stop wailing just because Buhari has been described perfectly. He is completely unaware of even his office/job functions and you should be worried!

SoftP:
The Nigeria Judicial system has wholly be compromised.
A country where a president must give his endorsement before a judge is crowned, u expect an employee to work against the interest of his employer.

I keep saying, this Nation is a huge joke. We can’t cry fowl when we are still being ruled by relics

If you check well I believe the reason why the Presidency have not activated is because the nominated Judges are from southern Nigeria.
