Bauchi governor warn corrupt judges

 
Corrupt judges in the Bauchi state have been asked to either quit or face sanctions, Bauchi state Governor Muhammed Abubakar has warned.
The governor in a statement on Wednesday, February 10 warned that his administration ​would not tolerate
 corruption. He also promised to make an example of anybody found to be corrupt.
Abubakar, according to Premium Times said his administration would restructure the judiciary in order to fast-track the dispensation and improve the administration of justice in the state.
As part of the restructuring process, the governor directed the commissioner of Justice to identify the immediate problems in the Judiciary.
The governor also lamented that the over bloated staff strength of the judicial was a financial burden to the state.
Meanwhile, the south-south executive committee of the All Progressive Congress (APC) has appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari following the recent Supreme Court ruling on the Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Delta governorship elections.
The zonal chairman of the APC, Prince Hillard Eta, who chaired the meeting asserted that the various judgements were retrogressive and have done irreparable damage to the country’s democracy.
The south-south APC said the Supreme Court judgements reward election riggers, proponents of electoral violence and political assassins.
