Nobody should seek to stampede the President in carrying out his constitutional duty in this respect,” he added.reported how Mr Buhari approved that Mrs Dongban-Mensem continues in her position in acting capacity for another three months despite that the National Judicial Council has recommended she be confirmed as the substantive appeal court president.
“May I also invite the attention of Mr. President to the pending matter of appointment of a Chief Judge of the Nigerian Court Appeal which appears to be generating public interest,” Mr Umar wrote in an open letter published by PREMIUM TIMES. “If she is not and is bypassed in favor of the next in line who happens to be another northern Muslim, that would be truly odd.

The President has a duty to ensure that all such appointments meet the requirements of the constitution and protecting the supreme law of the land in this regard, he has an obligation to allow law enforcement and security agencies to do their work.
