The Chief Judge of the FCT High Court, Abuja, Justice Ishaq Bello on Monday, inaugurated the Federal Capital Territory Area Council Election Petitions Tribunal.
Urging members of the tribunal to do justice without fear or favour, Justice Bello said that Nigeria as a nation could not make any appreciable progress without absolute commitment to ground rules and adherence to due process.
“You should be careful and thorough in the review of petitions , responses, pleadings, evidence and argument of counsels that will appear before you.
“The nature of the task ahead entails that you may get accolades. But unfortunately, condemnation will also come your way. If you work in good conscience and according to law; not selling justice to the highest bidder or mortgaging it for tribalism, nepotism or any other unwholesome sentiment, society, history and posterity will acquit you by placing you on the positive side of the scale," he said.
