The group, in a statement by its Director, Joseph Otteh, said the NJC ought to subject shortlisted candidates to public scrutiny to save itself the embarrassment of appointing persons with questionable character as judges. It said it called for concern that, without carrying the public along, the NJC had already forwarded a list of recommended candidates to the President for confirmation. “Judicial appointments into superior courts of Nigeria are of high public interest and have significant consequences too, for the general public. “Where the judiciary starts off on the wrong footing, it is the public who will bear and suffer the consequences of its errors of judgment. That is why the process should not be shrouded in mystery,” the group said. A2J recalled that the NJC, due to its failure to involve the public at the appointment stage, had to recently recommend the retirement of Justice Segun Tokode, on the claim that the judge submitted false credentials for appointment. It said, “Our Judiciary is not unaware of the damage that wrong or bad appointments have done to the institutional integrity of the third arm of government. Therefore, it should, ordinarily, be expected that the judiciary would make daring efforts to break free from the tyranny of mushy, paternalistic traditions that have systematically emasculated and broken it, and embrace democratic principles of openness and participation that can strengthen and rebuild public faith in it.”]]>
