The Chief Judge of High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Justice Hussein Baba Yusuf, has charged judicial officers and legal practitioners to ensure the protection of the sanctity of rule of law ahead of the 2023 general elections.
Justice Baba Yusuf gave the charge on Monday in his address at the 2022/2023 legal year of the Court held in Maitama, Abuja.
The Chief Judge reminded legal practitioners, both the Bar and Bench that as the 2023 general elections draw closer, a lot of expectations are on the judiciary in view of pre and post election litigations.
“As we approach another general election year, it is expected that there will be heightened activities within the precincts of the Courts.
“It is, therefore, imperative for us as law practitioners (both the Bar and the Bench) to brace up for the challenges ahead.
“The Nigerian society looks unto us to continue to provide legal services that seek to stabilize the polity” Justice Baba Yusuf said.
“The Bar, as the bastion of the rule of law, must continue to recognize the leading and sensitive role it plays in nation building.
“As Ministers in the Temple of Justice and custodians of the law, lawyers must join hands with the Bench in ensuring the preservation of the sanctity of our laws, without which our nation cannot survive
