My people, gist don land from Abuja! Na President Bola Tinubu wey don appoint Mr. Rotimi Oyedepo as di new Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for di Federal Ministry of Justice. This one na serious matter wey fit change many things for our justice system.
As e be, Oyedepo don serve as prosecutor for di Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) before and e get correct track record for how him dey handle high-profile cases wey concern money matter. Dis appointment no be small achievement, we go hear am well for di justice sector.
Deji Adeyanju, wey be legal expert and human rights activist, don shout am, say dis appointment neva only dey commendable but it dey show say President Tinubu dey serious about reforming di justice sector. E kan yarn say e believe say Oyedepo go deliver well well because of him experience.
Adeyanju talk say, “Mr Oyedepo’s independence of mind go help am handle di sensitive roles wey come with dis office.” Hmmmm, my people, na wetin we dey find, no be so?
The DPP office dey important for Nigeria, because dem na di ones wey dey handle criminal prosecution on behalf of di Federal Government. Dem suppose make sure say every case dey treated fairly and according to di law. And with all di noise wey dey happen for di country about corruption and public office wahala, Oyedepo’s appointment na light for di tunnel.
As e be so, Tinubu don sabi wetin e dey do! As Oyedepo don take this appointment, e go fit guide decisions wey go strengthen public trust in di justice system. Everybody dey look as things go play out for dis new direction.
Oyedepo, wey just 42 years, go fit carry di weight of di office well because e don learn di ropes well. E finish school for University of Ilorin and Nigerian Law School, na 2007 and 2008 him graduate, so e get di brain wey we dey need.
As we dey observe di implementation of this new appointment, I go just talk say we fit hope sey dis na new era for our justice system. If dem fit maintain dis momentum wey dey show commitment to professionalism and transparency, Naija go shine again!
