The President-elect, Bola Tinubu, says the unity of Nigeria is non-negotiable.
He stated this, on Thursday when he commissioned the Magistrates’ Court Complex in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, urging Nigerians to tolerate one another.
This is as he has vowed to make corruption in the judiciary unattractive.
Tinubu who rounded off his two-day visit to Rivers State, said though he and Governor Nyesom Wike of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), belonged to different political parties, they however believe in the unity of Nigeria.
The former Lagos State governor said he would fulfill all promises made to the people of Rivers State.
“That is what I intend to do in all policy formations coming up. I promise Nigerians that the unity of this country is not negotiable. That is what Wike and I are promoting jointly. I promise I will be fair to all.”
On judges’ welfare, the said: “The reform is on the way.”
He said his administration would undertake “the changes that are necessary” to fight “corruption” in the judiciary.
“You don’t expect your judges to live in squalor, to operate in squalor and dispense justice in squalor. This is part of the changes that are necessary. We must fight corruption, but we must definitely look at the other side of the coin. If you don’t want your judges to be corrupt, you got to pay attention to their welfare. You don’t want them to operate in hazardous conditions.”
