The
Nigerian Bar Association Yola Branch has urged Governor Bindow Jibrilla of
Adamawa State to respect court judgment that affirmed the autonomy of states’
judiciary. Mr Abubakar Babakano, the NBA branch chairman, made the appeal on
Saturday in Yola, when executives of the association paid a courtesy call on
the governor. He commended the governor for his roles in the suspension of the
six months old strike embarked upon by Judicial Staff Union in the state, to
press for judiciary autonomy. Babakano stressed that the rule of law would not
be guaranteed without judicial independence. He appealed to the governor to honor
his administration’s commitment to comply with Section 83 (3) and 121 (2) and
(3) of the Constitution, that affirmed autonomy of states’ judiciary. “The
sustenance of democratic process, the defense of rule of law and human rights
cannot be guaranteed if the judiciary is not independent in all its ramifications,”
Babakano said. Jibrilla assured the NBA of his administration’s commitment to
work with the association in the task of transforming the state.
Has laoreet percipitur ad. Vide interesset in mei, no his legimus verterem. Et nostrum imperdiet appellantur usu, mnesarchum referrentur id vim.
