President-elect Bola Tinubu opens up on how he intends to stem corruption in the Judiciary

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the president-elect, has revealed one major task his administration will embark on.

The APC leader said his government will fight corruption and make it unattractive in the judiciary, The Cable reported.

According to a statement by Abdulaziz Abdulaziz, a media aide, Tinubu spoke in Port Harcourt, Rivers, during the commissioning of the state’s magistrate courts complex on Thursday, May 4th, 2023.

Speaking at the commissioning, Tinubu said his administration would undertake “the changes that are necessary” to fight “corruption” in the judiciary, THISDAY report added.

“If you don’t want your judges to be corrupt, you got to pay attention to their welfare. You don’t want them to operate in hazardous conditions,” he said.

The projection that Bola Tinubu will go for a government of unity has begun to play out ahead of his inauguration scheduled for May 29, when President Muhammadu Buhari will officially hand over power to him.

The drama that played out during Tinubu's 2-day visit to Rivers state might be a testament that the idea of a unity government may be actualised when he assumes office on May 29.

Aside from the fact that he was invited and hosted by Governor Nyesom Wike of the leading opposition, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), there is another sitting governor from the opposition, as well as former governors in attendance as Tinubu visits.
