What a letter!

The impression being created with the letter written  by ADC to the CJ  is that the Supreme Court is delaying the party’s case. Nothing can be farther from the truth. The appeal was heard within days after it was filed over three weeks ago. Even the opposing lawyers hailed the apex court for bending backwards to hear the matter timeously.

What then has changed? Nothing; it is simply poli0tics at play. But lawyers should know better than to play politics with law. The Supreme Court is still within its constitutionally allotted time of 90 days to deliver judgment after hearing. Rather than resort to letter-writing in order to paint the court black, ADC should have pleaded with the court at the last proceedings for an early judgment date.

The party did not do that. This is why the letter is in bad faith. What a time to be a judge in Nigeria! Their Lorships should just ignore the noise, which the letter is, and do their job conscientiously, without fear or favour, affection or ill-will. They should see this as part of the price they have to pay for the unenvious job they do.
