The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Caretaker Committee has congratulated Justice Walter Onnoghen on his confirmation by the Senate as the 14th substantive Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN). It also congratulated Gov. Benedict Ayade of Cross River on the occasion of his 49th birthday.
The Committee’s Publicity Secretary, Daya Adeyeye in a statement issued on Friday in Abuja, also commended the Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo for sending the name of Justice Onnoghen’s to the Senate for confirmation.
Adeyeye said that the confirmation of Justice Onnoghen as the New CJN had renewed the confidence of Nigerians and the international community on the need to respect the principle of separation of powers.
He said that the action had also renewed the confidence of Nigerians in the independence of the Judiciary and wished the new Chief Justice of Nigeria well in office.
It, however, urged Onnoghen to implement all the reforms he intended to bring to bear on the Judiciary, saying that “the Judiciary remains the last arbiter in settling human disputes.’’
In his letter to Gov. Ayade, Adeyeye said that at 49, the governor had contributed much in the development and upliftment of his people both at the state and national levels as a senator and now governor.
“We urge the governor to continue with his landmark programmes and policies in Cross River. Cross River State has remained a PDP state since 1999.
“We believe the people of the state are proud to have a son like him and the PDP is equally proud of him,” he said.
Adeyeye prayed for God’s abundant blessings upon Ayade and wished him good health.
