Ibrahim Muhammad, chief justice
of Nigeria, has asked the newly sworn in chief judge of the federal high court
and president of the national industrial court of Nigeria to respect their oath
of office.
Muhammad said this during the
oath taking ceremony of John Tsoho, chief judge of the federal high court, and
Benedict Kanyip, president of the national industrial court of Nigeria (NICN),
which was held at the supreme court on Friday.
The CJN said: “Oath taking into
an office is not something to celebrate; it is something that… we all have to
sympathise with the person who is sworn in….”
“The very time you take that
oath, you are bound to respect that oath. All your conducts and dealings must
be within the scope of that oath.
“It is a solemn undertaken
between you and your creator. Therefore, a very tender job like that of a judge
is something that requires prayers.
”At the end of the oath, the
subscriber says so help me God but certainly, God will not help you if you
don’t help yourself.
“The first thing to do in other
to help yourself is to respect yourself, know your onions and know the kind of
people you move with. Know your principles and don’t allow anybody to disturb
those principles.”
