Factional National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, has vowed to send the name of some corrupt judges of the Federal High Court to the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Mahmoud Mohammed and the National Judicial Council.
According to him, some of the judges had shown what he termed unethical behaviour in the profession.
Sheriff further alleged that the said judges should be removed from the system in order to restore sanity to Nigeria’s judiciary.
He made this submission at an emergency press conference in Abuja on Tuesday.
He said that he was surprised by the order issued by the Federal High Court in Port-Harcourt, in which Justice Watila Mohammed validated tomorrow’s national convention in the state on the ground that the July 4 2016, which upheld the decision taken at the May 21, 2016 convention was still subsisting.
Sheriff said, “We are shocked even with that ruling. All the judges in Nigeria are on annual vacation.
“We have been in court with all of them for the past one month on an issue that a judge went into in Port Harcourt which started on Friday; people went and filed court cases on Thursday and got an exparte motion, which has been frowned at by the judiciary for now.
“Most stakeholders in the judiciary don’t want exparte motion because it denies justice to others.
