Supreme Court judgment: Concerns mount over elevated Appeal Court justices


FOLLOWING a stinging rebuke of the quality of judgments coming from the Court of Appeal, by the Supreme Court, judicial stakeholders are expressing worries about the future of the apex court. But on Friday, while reversing the sacking of three governors by the Court of Appeal, the apex court descended on the lower court and berated the quality of its interpretation of the law in political cases. Despite repeated efforts, the Bar has been unsuccessful in getting senior lawyers appointed to superior courts of record, especially the Supreme Court. According to him, “I was the first, accompanied by my brother, Wole Olanipekun, to apply because we thought we were qualified to sit at the Supreme Court. This week may also present another potentially-embarrassing moment for the Court of Appeal as the Nasarawa gubernatorial dispute will be resolved by the apex court on Tuesday.
