On Saturday, the Oyo state government held a reception in honour of Olukayode Ariwoola, the chief justice of Nigeria.
At the reception in Ibadan, Makinde said his administration would continue to promote the independence of the judiciary in the state, adding that the state is delighted to produce Nigeria’s number five citizen. “I thank God for tonight and for the fact that the Supreme Court was powerfully moved to Oyo state, and what you see here is Nigeria. We have my Lords from different states and geopolitical zones of this country,” he said.“This is a turning point. For the first time in the history of Oyo state, we have produced the number five citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. So, old things have passed away and things have become new.
Justice Ariwoola also called on politicians to allow the judiciary to perform its function while warning the judiciary to leave politics for politicians.
