A Calabar based human right activist /senior Advocate of Nigeria ,Mba Ekpezu Ukweni and Associates has advised the Acting Chief Judge of Nigeria CJN Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad not to be influenced by any form of tribal/ ethnic sentiment in the course of discharging his duties but instead he should adhere strictly to the oath of office which he swore.
“The Justices have their oaths of office, let him follow the oaths of office and work in accordance with the tenets of the constitution and shun tribalism and ethnicity” “He has not been performing his duty as the Justice of the Supreme Court, so why is he still there, so if he has become a major problem and he put in his resignation or voluntary retirement, so to say, to enable the system move on, I see it as a vey honourable step taken by him. Mba Ukweni maintained.
“That is the position most of us have been maintaining, we are not saying that he is above the law but if there is a procedure that had been laid down, follow it, it cannot, be because the President is interested in one way or the other that you discard the procedure that are laid down by law for proper implementation.
“If for instance, the NJC who are his colleagues have come up with position and feel that no matter the slightest level of suspects that might have arising from all these, this is our recommendation and following that he put in his resignation, I see it as being a very honourable thing to do, how many black people put in resignation when they are in position of authority”.
