Kwara ACN hails Supreme Court judgment
The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) has hailed last week's judgment of the Supreme Court which ordered the reinstatement of the sacked Kwara State Chief Judge, Justice Raliat Habeeb-Elelu.
The party said it received the "news with extreme joy because the judgment represents a step forward in our people's longstanding quest for justice and fairness."
The Supreme Court last Friday reinstated the sacked Chief Judge of Kwara State, Justice Raliat Habeeb–Elelu.
In a statement, the Kwara State Chairman of ACN, Mr. Kayode Olawepo, said: "For us, the unlawful sack of Justice Habeeb-Elelu was just one of the many injustices and impunities of the immediate past administration. Similar to this case is the continued seizure of pension arrears due to Kwara pensioners and entitlements of some councillors and council chairmen in the state.
"If anybody doubted that the government was one of impunity, lawlessness and disregard for due process, the Friday ruling serves as an eye-opener and further strengthens the people's confidence in the rule of law.
"We are not unmindful of the antics of the PDP government to dampen the spirit of the honourable justice and undermine the Supreme Court ruling, but, as the court verdict has shown, there will always be a tragic end to impunity and mischief.
"We urge anybody or group of persons who may have been sucked in by the antics of the PDP hawks to resist the reinstatement of Justice Habeeb-Elelu to review their position because injustice done to one is injustice done to all. It is Justice Habeeb-Elelu today; it may be you tomorrow."
