Tinubu will treat executive, legislature, judiciary equally – Wike

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Wednesday said President Bola Tinubu will treat the executive, legislature and judiciary equally.

Wike also said Tinubu is repositioning the judiciary to strengthen the administration of justice in Nigeria.

He spoke during the inauguration of the construction of the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal Complex.

The minister said the President’s approval of the construction of the Appeal Court Complex, accommodation for judges and justices and retirement homes was a testament of the importance attached to the judiciary.

He said: “There are things that must be done for us to get it right, and one of the things that must be done for this country to move forward is to put the judiciary where it is supposed to be.

“This is the essence of Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.”

The minister disclosed that the President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Monica Dangban-Mensem, had during the 2023 Legal Year requested the construction of the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal and accommodation for judges.

“I took the matter to President Tinubu, and he graciously approved.

“There are three arms of government, the executive, the legislature and the judiciary, and all must be treated equally,” he said.
