Oyegun’s charge came as a
personal appeal to APC’s National Legal Adviser, Dr. Muiz Banire, who was
recently conferred with the title of Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN.
Speaking at a
post-investiture reception for Banire, the National Chairman of All
Progressives Congress, APC, Oyegun said: “It
is a real pleasure having you on the working committee of APC. It is a period
of change and it is my hope that we will now get advice and proposals on how
change would also permeate the judiciary.
“I
have had cause to be in court once or twice and one of the greatest mysteries
on earth is court processes. Before you know what is happening it is over and l
did not think l was unintelligent, but I had to ask my lawyer what just
happened.
“What
is serious is that in a period like this, when we want to change society and
change society quickly, it is important that it is in tandem with the judicial
system.”
“The
matter today is corruption and if we do not have ways that corruption cases can
be treated or heard and disposed off quickly today, when we are not talking of
a few millions of naira but trillions, these people can keep us in court all
year long and for many years.”
Chief John Odigie-Oyegun,
said that some Nigerians looted money
that could last for generations and charged the judiciary to ensure that such
persons were prosecuted.
