Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana has faulted the presentation of cars and houses to judges by the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, stressing that the Constitution does not authorise such actions.
Falana, when he appeared on Channels TV on Wednesday, said if the executive intends to assist the judiciary, the appropriate channel is through the National Assembly.
According to him, if judges require housing, it should be managed by the National Judicial Council and not by state or federal officials.
“If the executive wants to assist the judiciary, the appropriate approach is to go to the National Assembly. You can have a supplementary budget. If it has been discovered that the judiciary needs housing in Abuja, then the National Assembly should make the necessary appropriations,” he said.
