Don’t Betray Your Oath, Acting CJN Tells Judges on Election Tribunals.
Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad has urged judges nominated to serve in election tribunals to remain loyal to their judicial oath.
Muhammad reminded the judges that their choice as members of the tribunals impose on them the duty to rise above all temptations and do justice in accordance with the law.
He noted that the task of adjudicating election petitions would task the content of the conscience of members of the various election tribunals.
