Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has described the controversial Federal High Court judge, Justice Okon Abang, as a cancer that is capable of destroying the entire judiciary in Nigeria if nothing is done to curb his excesses.
The governor, who said Justice Abang was now seeing his position as a judge as a means of getting at anyone that is opposed to him, disclosed that; “Just because I criticised him and called for his sack based on his fraudulent practices as established by the Court of Appeal in its judgment on August 18, 2016 and November 24, 2016, he hurriedly granted an interlocutory order against me on a matter pending before another judge.”
Speaking through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose reiterated his call to the National Judicial Council (NJC) to save the judiciary from Abang’s embarrassment by sending him out of the bench.
“I am, however, not surprised that Justice Abang, whom I have publicly said should be sacked by the NJC because of his unprofessional practices as established by the Court of Appeal in its judgment on August 18, 2016 and November 24, 2016, opted to get at me through strange and obnoxious proceedings,” the governor said.
