Conference of Nigerian Political Parties, CNPP, has criticized the National
Judicial Council for evading court service in a suit filed by the President Court of
Appeal, Justice Ayo Salami against the Council and the Chief Justice of
Nigeria, Justice Katsina-Alu, describing the act as the peak of judicial
recklessness.

CNPP National Publicity Secretary,Osita Okechukwu, in a statement in Abuja
said the action of the NJC undermines the integrity of the judiciary and also
indicates that Nigeria was dangerously into a failed state.

Here is the excerpts of the terse statement: “Conference of Nigerian Political
Parties is outraged by the arbitrary application of the rule of law, crude and
unethical manner the National Judicial Council (NJC) refused to accept the
service of court process of the suit filed by the President Court of Appeal,
Justice Ayo Salami; it is the height of judicial recklessness and portends grave
danger to not only the temple of justice in Nigeria, but fuels the dangerous slide
of Nigeria into a failed state.

“It is our considered view that the action of the National Judicial Council is
contemptuous, scandalous exposed the perfidy of the judiciary and undermines
the integrity of the temple of justice in Nigeria.”

“It is also our candid view that the Justice Umaru Abdullahi {rtd} and Justice
Ibrahim Auta Committees set up by the NJC were less than transparent in their
submissions, as confidence is built around impeccable and impartial
administration of justice.  We may ask, is it not paradoxical to acquit the Chief
Justice of Nigeria, Justice Aloysius Katsina-Alu from arresting court judgment
in the case of Sokoto State Governorship matter at the Appeal Court?

“We had severally warned of the danger of monumental corruption – Food is
Ready Justice System - which has eaten deep into the fabric of our judiciary
and by extension ravaged the Election Tribunals; the outcome of which is
evidenced by the Sokoto State Governorship matter which exposed the
underbelly of Food is Ready justice system.

“Hence we are alarmed with the wrong signal coming from the apex of the
judiciary; where the integrity of the judiciary cannot be protected as the
National Judicial Council resorts to self- help, does things in its way, in this
instance by refusing court order, hence violently violating the sanctity of the rule
of law.”

“In sum, we urge the National Judicial Council to stay all actions pending the
resolution of the Justice Ayo Salami suit, for it will be disastrous and futile if the
NJC decides to jump the gun and consign the best tradition and principles of
the rule of law to the dust-bin.”
