Oby Ezekwesili, a former minister of education, has stated that the country’s judiciary’s integrity and independence must be upheld.
Prior to the start of the Supreme Court proceedings challenging the election of President Bola Tinubu on February 25, 2023, Ezekwesili made this claim in a post on her X account on Monday.
She said that the independence and integrity of a nation’s judges are more important than many people realise, and that everyone who loves about Nigeria must stop allowing politicians to defile the judiciary.

Ezekwesili wrote: “The integrity and independence of a country’s Judiciary goes deeper than many think.
“It is, in fact, everything in a constitutional democracy, and so we must not allow politicians to destroy our Judiciary without a fight.
“Take the matter of economic prosperity. It is impossible for a people to prosper without attracting investments into their economy.
“Do you know that Board rooms of investors everywhere place Judicial Independence and Integrity at the top of what persuades them to invest in one country and not the other?
“Anyone who cares about Nigeria must not permit politicians to desecrate our Judiciary anymore.

“Even more, the Judiciary itself – justices, judges, magistrates, etc – must care enough about Nigeria and her citizens, to fight off the encroachment of their independence, no matter the cost or benefit to self.”
