“Judiciary is the most sensitive organ of the government and the last hope of the common man. Therefore, I urge the new Acting CJN to implement all the reforms he intends to bring to bear on the Nigerian judiciary.
Ogundoyin in his contribution explained that the appointment of Ariwoola is a further testament to the resilient, hard-working, diligent and dedicated nature of Oyo State indigenes across the globe.
He added that the new acting CJN will bring his years of legal experience to bear on the arduous task of administering justice in the country.
He urged the Iseyin-born legal icon to further etch his name in gold by working with other eminent jurists at the apex court to reposition the nation’s judiciary for better service delivery.
“May I congratulate our own, Chief Justice Olukayode Ariwoola on his elevation and appointment to the enviable and exalted position of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN.
“Your lordship’s appointment is unequivocally well merited as you have carved a niche for yourself in the legal profession.
Peller in his contribution described Ariwoola as an asset to Oke Ogun.
He added that Ariwoola is an embodiment of integrity, justice, truth and the rule of law.
Peller maintained that the new acting CJN will restore sanity to the judiciary.
“It gladdens my heart, and that of my constituents and the people of Oke-Ogun, Oyo State, to see him reach the pinnacle of his career. I must say that this is indeed a big plus for the people of Oke Ogun, Oyo state and Nigeria at large.
“The 2023 general elections are fast approaching, and many are confident that the tenure of the acting CJN will restore sanity to the judiciary.
