Late Justice Kutigi. |
President
Muhammadu Buhari extends heartfelt condolences to the Kutigi family on the
passing of the former Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), the Honourable Justice
Idris Legbo Kutigi, GCON.
President
Buhari also commiserates with members of the judiciary and legal profession,
the government and people of Niger State on the death of the eminent jurist,
who was appointed to the Supreme Court in 1992 and named as Chief Justice in
2007.
The
President joins them in mourning the elder statesman who will be long remembered
and honoured for his visionary roles and contributions in the advances our
country has made towards building a strong, independent and impartial
judiciary, which is sine qua non for democracy to thrive.
Throughout
his career in the apex court, President Buhari believes that the former CJN's
bold and articulate judicial decisions, advocacies on access to justice for all
and protection of judicial independence are extant signposts for the
advancement of the noble profession in the country and beyond.
The
President urges all who mourn the late jurist to honour his memory by working
for a better and just society, in addition to upholding the virtues associated
with him during his lifetime of long and dedicated service to the nation.
The
President prays almighty God to comfort Kutigi’s family, friends and associates
and grant eternal rest to the soul of the departed.
