“The resignation of the Chief Justice of Nigeria is commendable in the light of sit tight disposition of Government appointee and Representatives.

“It should be noted that our Country is not used to seeing top Government appointees resign and relinquish power for any reason, Tanko Mohammed have shown a different trend in leadership and must be commended for that“, he said.

According to Barr. Otagburuagu, the former CJN as a leader, accepted responsibility and chose the exit door to avoid letting the Judicial system down.

He said, “The resignation of the CJN shows that the survival of the Supreme court and the judiciary as an institution is paramount to him and not his personal interest.
