How my administration will make corruption unattractive in judiciary– Tinubu

 Bola Tinubu, the president-elect, has promised that his
administration will make corruption unattractive in the judiciary.

 

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.

 

The former Lagos governor was declared the winner of the
presidential election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)
on March 1 and is expected to take the oath of office on May 29.

 

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

 

 “You don’t expect
your judges to live in squalor, to operate in squalor and dispense justice in
squalor. This is part of the changes that are necessary. We must fight
corruption but we must definitely look at the other side of the coin,” Tinubu
said.

 

“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.”

 

The president-elect said lack of consumer credit which could
make it easy for workers to acquire property such as houses and cars makes them
susceptible to corruption.

 

 “If you have consumer
credit that will reduce the propensity for corruption. We don’t want our judges
to play foul, to compromise justice. I promise we are going to review all of
these in a policy think tank.”

 

On Wednesday, Tinubu promised that his administration would
not marginalise any part of the country.

 

He also pledged to “leave legacy projects across the length
and breadth of Nigeria”.
