Naija no go ever forget the way Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun don shake ground for judiciary matter. Wetin she do no be small thing o! As Chief Justice, she don carry new policy wey dey allow public to fit talk ginger about judges wey dem wan appoint.
This policy no be just to dey shine teeth; e don already show say Nigerians dey ready to help clean corruption wey dey waka for our justice system. Wetin happen na say she introduce wetin dem dey call public-feedback integrity test wey fit help people voice their concerns about the kind people wey dem dey consider for judicial appointments.
And my people, this step no just change things for ojuju, e don show real difference as 34 out of 62 nominees wey go apply for judges job don fail this integrity test. Imagine say dem no fit catch some of these corrupt guys wey sabi collect bribe; dem for don enter court dey judge us without conscience.
One case wey come stand out be the matter of Chief Superintendent of Police wey no fit hold judgeship because customers don report say she dey collect 1 million naira before she go fit grant bail. This kind wahala dey happen every corner for Naija, and na wetin Justice Kekere-Ekun wan clear out.
As we dey hail her for this massive move, make we also sabi say e no go easy. People wey dey for power go still wan flex muscle, but with this new policy, na di people of Naija go get mouth for how dem go run judicial matter. Na so e suppose be.
The CJN sabi say judges need to dey proactive for how dem dey manage cases. E talk say no be to dey delay matter because of evidence matter. Judges suppose dey sharp and ready to take decision wey go fit help victims wey dey seek justice.
Na so judiciary for Naija go fit regain trust wey dem don lose. Dis kind gists dey sweet for belle because no be every day we see leaders wey dey do well. Justice Kekere-Ekun no only show say she get backbone; she dey stand firm like solid rock against corruption.
For all the paddy wey dey involved as judges, na dem go carry this reform go far. I dey hope say dem go follow am well well and make sure say integrity demand go dey final for every corner of our courts. Na only so we go fit shine we eyes and make sure say no corrupt officer fit enter judge seat.
Big shoutout to Her Lordship, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, for this her groundbreaking policy. E be like say Naija judiciary don finally dey wake up from sleep. Let’s hope say e go work for many years to come!
