Ekiti state Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has called for immediate sack of the controversial Federal High Court, Abuja judge, Okon Abang, describing him as a disgrace to the judiciary.
Fayose asked the National Judicial Council (NJC) to save the judiciary, saying “a judge like Abang is a cankerworm that can destroy the country if not removed totally before he does further damage to the polity.”
Fayose, in his reaction to the Appeal Court judgment, which nullified Abang’s ruling of the October 14, 2016 and declared it as a fraud, said: “It is obvious that Justice Abang is representing the dirty interests of some cabals, who are protecting him despite the incalculable damages he has done to the judiciary.”
In a statement issued yesterday and signed by the governor’s Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, he said: “In the face of these indictments by the appellate court, NJC must wade in and save the judiciary from Abang.
He said a judge, “who gives fraudulent judgments, is even more dangerous than armed robbers, adding that “those running after judges for alleged corruption and excluding a judge like Abang may not be far from being the beneficiaries of his fraudulent judgments.”
