Ezekwesili Reveals Best Thing That Has Happened To Nigerian Judiciary

Former Minister of Education, Obiageli Ezekwesili, has claimed that the controversial statement “All Eyes on the Judiciary” is one of the best things that has happened to the nation’s third arm of government in recent times.

Naija News recalls that earlier this week, the Federal Government ordered the removal of the billboard “All Eyes on the Judiciary” in Abuja after it claimed it is a move aimed at pitching the people against the judiciary.

The government also dissolved the Adver­tising Standard Panel (ASP) secretariat over its approval of the advert.

However, in a post on her Twitter handle on Friday, Ezekwesili reiterated that she has her eyes on the judiciary and she is delighted to see many Nigerians do likewise.

According to the former minister, the judiciary always needs citizens to demand transparency and accountability for their huge constitutional responsibility, just like the two other arms of government.

She wrote, “I absolutely have my eyes on the Nigerian Judiciary and delighted to see many other citizens do too.

“#AllEyesOnTheJudiciary is one of the best things that has happened to our Judiciary, the 3rd Arm of Government, in recent times.

“Just like the other 2 Arms- Executive and Legislature, the Judiciary always needed our Citizens to demand transparency and accountability for their huge constitutional responsibility.

“One of the critical things you’ll learn in Policy School is to always keep the message simple for your target audience.

“The Judiciary has a message from citizens, who understand the importance of their country joining the league of countries that have through uncompromising adherence to Democratic Processes, built lasting institutions required for Development. It is #AllEyesOnTheJudiciary.”
