The Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Tanko Muhammad, has sworn in 85 Judges who will adjudicate on election petition tribunals in the forthcoming governorship polls in Edo and Ondo States and the by-elections in other parts of the country.
Justice Muhammad, while inaugurating the Judges at the Supreme Court in Abuja, charged them to be firm and not to be swayed by sentiments and cheap blackmail in the course of discharging their duties.
The CJN vowed not to condone any act of recklessness, abuse of power, and public trust.
