Confirmation Of Ariwoola As CJN Hailed By Tinubu

Asíwájú Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate has described the appointment of Justice Olukayode Ariwoola as the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) as a testament to an excellent judicial career characterised by courage, competence and commitment to excellence.

The APC candidate for the 2023 presidential election stated this in a congratulatory message he sent to the new CJN yesterday in Abuja.

President Muhammadu Buhari, on Wednesday at the Council Chamber of the State House in Abuja, swore in Justice Ariwoola as the substantive CJN, three months after he was appointed in acting capacity.

In the statement by his media aide, Mr. Tunde Rahman, Asiwaju Tinubu said: “I congratulate Justice Olukayode Ariwoola over his appointment as substantive Chief Justice of Nigeria.

“This appointment is apt and appropriate as it is a testament to an excellent judicial career characterised by courage, competence and commitment to excellence.

“Ever since he became a judicial officer and particularly since his emergence in November 2011 as a Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Ariwoola has always distinguished himself in character and conduct.

“He is never swayed by anything but the dictates of the law. He interprets and applies the law as it is.

“I congratulate Justice Ariwoola on his accomplishment. I wish him immense wisdom and God’s guidance in this exalted office.”
