 BALA MOHAMMED'S CANDOR: A LESSON IN STATESMANSHIP FOR THE SOUR GRAPES OPPOSITION By Okoi Obono-Obla  Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State deserves unreserved commendation for his rare candour and statesmanship. In an era where opposition politics in Nigeria has been reduced to perpetual wailing, cynicism and playing to the gallery, Bala Mohammed has risen above partisanship to speak truth to power in the most patriotic sense. Despite being the National Leader of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) and a key pillar of his party's presidential ticket, Governor Mohammed did what very few Nigerian politicians dare to do: he publicly appreciated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his bold, courageous and transformative reform agenda.

 Lawyers Criticize Proposed Five-Year Tenure for Chief Justice, Heads of Courts


The House of Representatives' proposal to limit the tenure of Nigeria's Chief Justice and other court heads to five years has faced backlash from legal experts, who argue the current system is effective and does not require alteration.


Key Points:

The bill, introduced by Manu Soro, seeks to amend the Constitution to impose a five-year, non-renewable term for heads of courts, after which they would either return to their previous roles or retire.

Critics, including Nigerian Bar Association spokesperson Bridget Edokwe, argue the proposal is unnecessary and risks undermining the judiciary’s stability.

Concerns include potential politicization of appointments, inequities among states appointing younger judges, and complications from health or competence issues during fixed terms.

Lawyers emphasize that the current retirement system based on age or years of service ensures efficiency and professionalism.


The proposal, aimed at enhancing service motivation, is seen by many as a flawed solution that could introduce more challenges to Nigeria’s judicial system.
