The appointment came after several months of legal tussle seeking the removal of Justice Temitayo Osoba from the position.
Announcing the new appointment on Saturday, a statement from the governor’s office, signed by his press officer, Adeyanju Kola, said Mrs. Akeredolu’s appointment as the Chief Judge of Ondo State took effect from Saturday, July 22, 2017.
“This, according to the letter of appointment signed by the Governor of Ondo State, is in pursuant of section 271(15)of the 1999 constitution as amended,” the statement read.
“Also according to the letter, the appointment is based on the recommendation of the Chief Justice of Nigeria and Chairman of National Judicial Council,” it added.
Until her appointment, Justice Akeredolu was the head of criminal division in Ondo State High Court.
The statement also added that she would be sworn in on Monday July 24, 2017.

*Hmmmmmm.....I dont know the part of the constitution that allows this,I have to read it up..
So why the thumbs up nah? It is called Nepotism and is illegal in most countries. If it isn't illegal by the Nigerian Constitution, it is not something we should rejoice over. Anybody remember the immunity given to Gov Peter Odili by his wife?
ReplyDeleteThis is not his wife, but @Sister
DeleteThank you

Still not nice. Is ondo their family business now?
DeleteThis is funny..
ReplyDeleteSo you consult your wife in the bedroom before ......😂😂😂😂😂
I don't see any biggie There
ReplyDeleteThe main question should be, is she qualified for it? It YES... Then no problem
I remember in @Lagos when @Chief judge of Lagos @Mrs Jadesola Philips (Gbemi Philips mum) was the chief judge, immediately she left that position, her sister was appointed, and people kept SHOUTING.. And she was like, was her sister qualified or not? And truthfully, she was qualified and she was the highest ranking officer to fill that space..

Really? He should have ran with his wife or brother as Deputy Governor nah! Have you heard of the word nepotism? Same family in charge of 2 out of the 3 arms of government & it's normal to you? You need help
DeleteThis is sooo not true, his wife is not even a lawyer! The 1st lady of Ondo state is Betty And she's definately not this Oluwatoyin!by the way, his wife is frm Imo state.
ReplyDeleteAs long as its a blood relative, it's wrong on all & every level.
DeleteWell on a second thought, I think the @NJC should look into it
ReplyDeleteI remember when ex Govenor @muritala nyako tried the same thing... He was the Govenor at that time, and he wanted to appoint his WIFE as the @Chief judge of the state.... The @NJC stepped in, and they said NO.. And there reason was, A chief Judge is the NUMBER 3 citizen of a state.. .That two blood relation can't occupy a sensitive post as one being a @Govenor then the other a @Chief Judge
And this @Toyin Akeredolu is his blood sister.... I know he has a sister named @Toyin
Hmmmt
Politricks

A Chief Judge isnt the number 3 person in a state.
DeleteThe speaker is number 3

ReplyDeleteThank you

There are still some info not given here, is she the most senior judge in Ondo state if yes why not? Did Her appointment follow due process, if yes why not but for fairness she could have declined since the Husband is the Governor. I bet you all Nigeria politicians are rogues. He is already paving ways for the grand corruption Ondo is about to witness.
ReplyDeleteA repeat of Odili and wife ok
ReplyDeleteNepotism.
ReplyDeleteRecommendation indeed! I've lost every atom of respect I have for this man. A family is in charge of the executive and judiciary in a state? Ondo might as well be renamed Akeredolu state, what rubbish!?! How can there ever be justice, equity & fairness in that state? The CJN needs to loose his job for this breed of insensitivity and recklessness. Tomorrow he'll call himself "learned", what a moron!
ReplyDeleteThis is a real wa..reminds me of Peter odili s wife
ReplyDeleteHis wife is Igbo. she may not be related to him. His sister won't be Mrs Akeredolu nah
ReplyDeleteGood point. Let Ondogis tell us.
DeleteThey are not even from the same local government let alone being related. Do some research Stella.
