—Ahead of litigations that will arise from this year’s general election, Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Tanko Muhammad, yesterday, urged judges across the federation to protect the interest of the citizens.
He said: “My lords, as we are all aware, democracy insists on the respect for the Rule of Law. Its principles also advocate the independence of the judiciary, the doctrine of separation of powers, guarantee of fundamental rights, freedom of expression epitomized by free press and media as well as free and fair elections.
“Our institution, the Judiciary, is the only Arm of Government vested with such powers. The interest of the powerful must always be reconciled with those of the voiceless poor. “The courts must at all times be prepared to interpret the constitution, relevant statutes and to serve as an arbiter to litigants at minimum costs.
