In an interview broadcasted on ARISE TV Sunday night, Mr. Maikyau emphasized the grave consequences of making baseless and unsubstantiated allegations.

He stated, “When you make unfounded allegations, you are undermining the very foundation that holds this country together. If the public loses confidence in the judiciary, our nation will be at risk of descending into anarchy and disorder….CONTINUE READING

The NBA President further added, “Accusations of corruption within the judiciary are being made without concrete evidence. If you possess evidence, present it openly. Failing to do so is as detrimental as any corrupt behavior by a judicial officer, because it erodes the essential structure that binds our country.”

Mr. Maikyau pointed out that the judiciary has faced challenges and neglect, but it has consistently displayed resilience and integrity.

He reiterated his call for individuals involved in the ‘AllEyesOnTheJudiciary’ campaign, accusing the judiciary of corruption, to provide tangible evidence to identify and rectify any wrongdoing.

He emphasized, “I’ve conveyed this message on various occasions: if you possess evidence against any judicial officers, please come forward with it.

We will investigate and take appropriate action. Out of all the judicial officers in the country, how many have been convicted of corruption?”

Legal disputes have arisen following the announcement of Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress as the winner of the February 25 presidential election by the Independent National Electoral Commission on March 1.

Atiku Abubakar (of the PDP) and Peter Obi (of the Labour Party) are contesting Mr. Tinubu’s victory on the grounds that he failed to secure a 25 percent vote in the Federal Capital Territory and due to allegations of his involvement with drug-related activities in the United States of America.
