CHIEF JUSTICE ARIWOOLA’S ROMANCE WITH THE POLITICIANS IS BOUND TO HAVE BACK LASH!

If only the dead could speak from the grave, late Chief Judge of Lagos State, Justice John Idowu Conrad Taylor, would have frowned at the attitude of incumbent Chief Justice of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Olukayode Ariwoola for frolicking with politicians  both at the Federal and State levels since his investiture at the State House, Abuja on Wednesday 12th October, 2022! 

On assumption of office as substantive Chief Justice, having been sworn in by Major General President Muhammadu Buhari and conferred with the second highest National honour of Grand Commander Order of the Niger (GCON), than the 68-year-old jurist began socialising and revelling with governors, political office holders, business moguls, movers and shakers of policies at the corridors of power!

From Oyo to Rivers State the red carpets were rolled out to treat him to sumptuous receptions and parties where glowing tributes and encomiums were lavishly showered on him!

The Rivers State Governor in particular got him to spend two days of banqueting and commissioning of Judicial Projects.

While in Port Harcourt, the CJN was reported to have said that he was happy that Governor ‘Seyi Makinde of his home State, (Oyo), was part of the G5  Integrity Group of five Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Governors who were at loggerheads with their party’s National Executives!

Already, the Coalition of Civil Society Groups for Transparency and Good Governance has called for his resignation over this comment which was construed as “double standard” in respect of his exalted office and as regards “ethno-religious affiliations”.

They insisted that the CJN should not continue in that position having presented himself as an active player in a particular team.

It should be recalled that the CJN’s appointment came on the heels of a damnable leaked petition (bothering on Judges Welfare), by 14 Justices of the Supreme Court against his predecessor in office, C. J. Tanko Mohammad, who eventually retired voluntarily on health grounds! Ariwoola was the most senior in rank to the retired Justice.

WORDS ON MARBLE FOR LATE JUSTICE JOHN IDOWU CONRAD TAYLOR! 

He was an impeccable jurist with moral principles. A man of very high standards, respected for his integrity, diligence, commitment and devotion to duty with the foresight for decorum, finesse and perfection!

The following true story was told of the late Justice J. I. C. Taylor who was the Chief Judge of Lagos State during the Military Administration of Nigeria but honourably turned down his governor’s official invitation to a State Dinner on the following grounds: "Lagos State Government has several pending cases before me ….. I find it inappropriate to honour the invitation.”

At his demise the Military Head of State General Yakubu Gowon eulogized him for his sterling qualities.

ARE THERE MORE CORRUPT ELEMENTS IN THE JUDICIARY NOW?

A searchlight into the activities of Nigerian courts revealed dirty, sordid, gruesome manipulation and perversion of the course of justice by corrupt judges. According to an insider a retired President of the Court of Appeal, the Nigerian Judiciary harbours corrupt elements who are politicians and government apologists who attend all manner of social gatherings and frolic even with litigants with pending cases before the High Courts. 

“How can judges decide cases against their political parties and people they wine and dine with” queries the insider?

During his first tenure Major General President Buhari in a petition to the judiciary reminded the learned benchers that they should be in the forefront of efforts to develop right-based jurisprudence as an element of the multi-disciplinary approach advocated in the fight against corruption by enforcing applicable laws to avoid delay in ensuring criminal justice administration.

According to the President, corruption cases filed by government were not progressing as they should and in spite of the Criminal Justice Act of 2015, the courts allowed some lawyers to frustrate the reforms introduced by law and called for a change of attitude for a collective action in building a new Nigeria in the face of dwindling Revenue by tackling two ILLS – Waste and Corruption simultaneously.

Justice Ayo Salami, a retired Judge of the Appeal Court during a lecture said that Nigeria needed to sanitize and rid the Judiciary of corrupt elements who were dishonourable people not fit to be judges and senior lawyers but got into the system, made it to the highest level of the judicial career but subsequently frustrated the common man's quest for Justice and equity.

DSS STING OPERATION AGAINST JUDGES FROM 8TH TO 9TH OCTOBER 2016 WAS NOT A SUCCESS!

The well-coordinated search operations by the Directorate of Security Services (DSS), on the homes of suspected  High/Supreme Court Judges believed to possess bribe monies and properties illegally acquired was successful but highly condemned by the elites as unprecedented!

Although many of them were arraigned before the courts but were eventually discharged and acquitted with all seized properties/monies allegedly acquired returned with apologies!

CJN Ariwoola may not be as lucky as his predecessors! He has ruffled the BEES NEST, he should expect MANY STINGS!
