The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria has suspended its three weeks old strike in federal courts. The National Executive council of the Union disclosed this, Sunday, after an emergency meeting held at the Supreme Court on at the instance of the Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court, Ahmed Gambo
The JUSUN president, Adamu Marwan, while speaking with journalists after the NEC meeting Sunday night, said the directive given to the federal court workers to resume on Monday (today) was part of the concession of the union to dispel the impression that the strike had political undertone.
Following this decision, the Supreme Court, the various divisions of the Court of Appeal, the Federal High Court and the National Industrial Court across the country will resume work after three weeks of downing tools, today.
Similarly, all courts in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, including FCT High Court, and all federal judiciary institutions, comprising the National Judicial Institute, the National Judicial Council and the Federal Judicial Service Commission will resume work today.
Meanwhile, their counterparts in the state judiciary across the federation are to await the outcome of a meeting the JUSUN officials are scheduled to have with stakeholders at 12pm on Monday at the Supreme Court, Abuja.
The stakeholders consist of the President of the Nigerian Bar Association, the Forum of Court Chief Registrars and the Body of State Attorneys-Generals.
The JUSUN three-week strike started on January 5 with the workers agitating for the implementation of the judgment delivered by Justice Adeniyi Ademola of a Federal High Court in Abuja on January 13, 2014.
The court in the judgment affirmed the financial autonomy status of the judiciary and abolished its piecemeal funding by the executive arm.
The court also compelled the Accountant-General of the Federation to be deducting funds standing to the credit of the judiciary in the Federation Account and be remitting same directly to the various heads of court.
For three weeks, the workers effectively closed down all courts nationwide following the refusal of the executive to comply with a judgment of a Federal High Court, Abuja which ordered the executive to hands off funds meant for the judiciary.
JUSUN’s President, Marwa Adamu said the workers decided to go on an indefinite strike because the executive did not comply with the agreement reached with the union to comply with the judgment of the court on judiciary funding.
While sympathizing with litigants, he said the workers had no choice but to go on strike to compel implementation of a subsisting court order and the agreement reached with them. The strike denied politicians dissatisfied with their parties primaries to have their grievances heard in court.
NIGERIANS WAKE UP!
PRESIDENT JONATHAN EXPOSED!!
PLEASE HEAR THE PROFOUND ASSESSMENTS BY PRESIDENT JONATHAN’S CAMPAIGN “MARKETER” (FEMI FANIKAYODE) THE LAST TIME HE DUMPED PDP for APC:
1. ON PDP.
(a) “Frankly speaking the PDP has become a party that is beyond redemption and the removal of Tukur cannot change that. I say this because no sensible person will go back to a stinking carcass simply because the head of the dead animal has been cut off and thrown away. A carcass remains a carcass whether you cut off it’s head, legs or any other part of it’s body or not. Whichever way, it remains as dead as a dodo and it only awaits a formal burial. The truth is that the vultures are already feeding fat on the rotting and decaying cadavar of the PDP and whether anyone likes to hear it or not the truth is that that party can never be whole again. As I said eight months ago it is a party that has been rejected by God and whose leaders are suffering God’s judgement for their unjust, gluttonous, wicked, foul and evil ways”.
(b) “(PDP is a) self-evident Sinking Ship.”
(c) “I am not sure that great men have respect for the party again. I AM NOT SURE FORMER PRESIDENT, CHIEF OLUSEGUN OBASANJO IS RESPECTING THE PARTY AGAIN and many others, so I had to bid the party bye-bye.” (Emphasis mine).
(d) “PDP AS WE ONCE KNEW HER HAS GONE FOREVER. THE SHIP HAS HIT THE ROCKS AND SHE HAS SUNK TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA. SHE IS DEAD AND BURIED AND MY PRAYER IS THAT HER SOUL RESTS IN PERFECT PEACE.” (Emphasis mine).
2. ON OBASANJO’S LETTER TO JONATHAN:
“OBJ has finally closed GEJ’s chapter with his letter. JONATHAN IS FINISHED- MARK MY WORDS. Abati should shut up and let his boss speak for himself on this one.
The Ebora Owu has spoken and the issues that he has raised are too serious to be ignored or to be responded to with amatuerish and cheeky insults and slurs from a mere staff of the Presidency.
The President should find the courage to personally answer the charges and address the message rather than get his aides to attack the messenger. As Baba said, Jonathan is “bleeding Nigeria to death”. It is time for change.
God used Obasanjo to put Jonathan in power and, by His grace,He will use that same Obasanjo to remove him.” (Emphasis mine).
3. ON ALL PROGRESSIVES PARTY: A. P.C.
(a) “I don’t know what the minds of Nigerians are. All I know is that the level of discontentment for the government of the PDP in this country is unprecedented. Not only do I know that, I also know that in terms of the quality of leadership as far as I am concerned, if you compare the leadership of today’s PDP to APC leadership, there is absolutely no comparison. IT IS TIME FOR HANGE IN THIS COUNTRY….as far as I am concerned, they present a far more credible leadership than we have in the PDP today”. (Emphasis mine).
(b) “What Nigerians need now is to join hands with the APC Leaders, Major Gen. Mohammadu Buhari and Senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu to move the nation forward”. (Emphasis mine).
4. ON PRESIDENT JONATHAN
(a)“THE PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE IS THE PRESIDENT HIMSELF” (Emphasis mine).
(b) “A PRESIDENT WHO PRIDES HIMSELF ON HIS WEAKNESS AND INCOMPETENCE AND WHOSE LOVE OF FALSE PROPHETS AND STRANGE WOMEN KNOWS NO BOUNDS AND HAS NO ENDS”. (Emphasis mine).
(c) “A President who has abdicated his responsibilities, destroyed his own political party, divided his own country…abandoned his own people, brought ridicule to his own faith, cowers before his own officials…scorns the international community and BREAK HIS SOLEMN OATH TO PROTECT AND DEFEND THE NIGERIAN PEOPLE”. (Emphasis mine).
(d) “May God bring us a real leader that can save our nation and MAY HE TAKE AWAY THIS ONE WHO FEELS NO PAIN AND HAS NO EMPATHY WHEN NIGERIAN BLOOD, NAY EVEN THE BLOOD OF INNOCENT CHILDREN, IS SHED WITH IMPUNITY”. (Emphasis mine).
(e) “When the President is defeated, he will declare himself winner, the same way it happened in the NGF (Nigerian Governor’s Forum). HE WILL TRY TO SPLIT THE COUNTRY THE SAME WAY HE DID TO THE NGF”. (Emphasis mine).
(f) “IN 2015,IF THE PDP LOSES TO APC AND THEY ARE TRYING TO PLAY THIS KIND OF GAME WITH NIGERIANS, THEN THEY WILL KNOW WE ALL OWN THIS COUNTRY.” (Emphasis mine).
(g) ”THE PRESIDENT IS LEADING NIGERIA ON THE ROAD TO HELL. The madness, the attacks, the killings, the insults, the persecution, the wickedness, the impunity and the intimidation has to stop forthwith or else the consequences will be grave for the continued unity of our country. “(Emphasis mine).
A. WE CAN NOW CLEARLY SEE THAT WHEN A “DOG GOES BACK TO IT’S VOMIT” SUCH A DOG IS UNFIT AS IT MAY INFEST THE HOUSE WITH EPIDEMIC DISEASES. CREDIBILITY IS THE USEFULNESS OF ANY LEADER. A MAN WHO LACKS CREDIBILITY IS FOR EVER BEREFT OF HONOR, MORAL CONSISTENCY AND RELIGIOUS BALANCE.
B. WE CAN NOW PALPABLY REALIZE THAT PDP “IS DEAD AND BURIED” AND “HAS BECOME A PARTY THAT IS BEYOND REDEMPTION”.
C. WE CAN NOW FRANKLY DEDUCT THAT A.P.C. HAS “NO COMPARISON” AND THAT “WHAT NIGERIANS NEED NOW IS TO JOIN HANDS WITH THE APC LEADERS, MAJOR GEN. MOHAMMADU BUHARI ….TO MOVE THE NATION FORWARD” BECAUSE “IT IS TIME FOR HANGE IN THIS COUNTRY”.
D. WE CAN NOW CONCLUDE THAT “THE PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE IS THE PRESIDENT HIMSELF” BECAUSE:
1. “…. HIS WEAKNESS AND INCOMPETENCE … LOVE OF FALSE PROPHETS AND STRANGE WOMEN KNOWS NO BOUNDS AND HAS NO ENDS”.
2. HE “….HAS ABDICATED HIS RESPONSIBILITIES, DESTROYED HIS OWN POLITICAL PARTY, DIVIDED HIS OWN COUNTRY…ABANDONED HIS OWN PEOPLE, BROUGHT RIDICULE TO HIS OWN FAITH, COWERS BEFORE HIS OWN OFFICIALS…SCORNS THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY AND BREAK HIS SOLEMN OATH TO PROTECT AND DEFEND THE NIGERIAN PEOPLE”.
3. “HE WILL TRY TO SPLIT THE COUNTRY THE SAME WAY HE DID TO THE NGF.”
4. ”THE PRESIDENT IS LEADING NIGERIA ON THE ROAD TO HELL”. AND
E. WE CAN NOW SAFELY AND PROUDLY SUBMIT THAT TO GET OUT OF THIS ABYSMAL GULAG OF CORRUPTION OF THE HIGHEST ORDER, GROSS INCOMPETENCE, WANTON SHEDDING OF BLOOD, AS WELL AS ACUTE DISPLAY OF UNPRECEDENTED MISGOVERNANCE, NIGERIANS MUST VOTE OUT JONATHAN OF PDP AND ELECT BUHARI OF A.P.C. AS NIGERIAN PRESIDENT.
LONG LIVE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA.
