Appointment of CJN Kekere-Ekun shows Tinubu respects seniority in judiciary — Presidency

The Senior Special Adviser to the President on Senate Matters, Senator Basheer Lado, said on Wednesday, that the appointment of Justice Kudirat Motonmori Olatokunbo Kekere-Ekun as the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, is a demonstration of President Bola Tinubu ‘s respect for seniority in the judiciary.

He gave this testament in Abuja while reacting to the acting CJN’s screening by the Senate on Wednesday.

He said the appointment did not incur any misgivings among the hierarchy, but it speaks to her pedigree and the fact that the President has respect for the guidelines of appointment in the judiciary.

While speaking with journalists at the National Assembly in the aftermath of the screening, Lado said: “The appointment of the CJN is a demonstration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s continued commitment to a revamped judiciary.

“He has since he assumed office demonstrated his determination to ensure a judiciary that will not only ensure speedy dispensation of justice but ensure that every Nigerian gets justice.

“The appointment of 11 justices into the bench of the apex court, which enables the Supreme Court to attain its full complement of 21 justices for the very first time, is a case in point.

“Also, the president’s assent to the bill on the increment of salaries of judicial officers is one of the several policies of government aimed at repositioning the judiciary.

“I commend the 10th Senate for the continued support in ensuring that President Ahmed Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda is well implemented. The speedy screening and confirmation of the CJN shows the Senate’s commitment to working with the Executive to deliver the dividends of democracy to all Nigerians.”
