Fayose charges judges on fairness

Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose has admonished judges to ensure fair dispensation of justice without fear or favour.
He made this statement when magistrates in the state paid him a courtesy call in his office, reminding them that whatever is done on earth would be accounted for hereafter.

In a release issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi, the governor said, “the positions we occupy today, whether as governor or magistrate is temporary and we have an account to give. It is important that we fear God.‎ We must not bow to pressure and do the wrong thing.

Fayose further charged the judges not to succumb to any form of threat or intimidation that would make them give judgment against their conscience. His words: “I read in the papers that some people in authority now go and dig into the financial papers of judges and use that to subtly blackmail them to give rulings and judgments their ways. You have the power of life and death, please do the right things‎. Don’t make yourself tools in the hand of the devil.”
