The National Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party, Uche Secondus, said late Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Idris Kutigi, would be remembered for his numerous landmark judgements.
In a statement by his Media aide, Ike Abonyi, on Monday in Abuja, Secondus described late Kutigi as “principled and courageous jurist’’.
He said the death of the jurist came to him as a shock but thanked God for the huge legacies he left behind.

He said that at this time that the nation was going through difficult times, the experience of men of integrity like the late Justice would have been greatly needed “but God knows the best’’.

Secondus recalled the roles the deceased played in using the judiciary to correct a number of political anomalies in the country as well as his exceptional leadership as Chairman of the defunct National Conference.

He commiserated with the family, a member of whom is his Special Assistant, Sani Kutigi, and them to take solace in the fact that their father left behind enviable records.
Kutigi died in a London hospital on Saturday night after a brief illness. He would have been 79 years in December, having been born in December, 1939.
Kutgi was the CJN from January, 2007 to December, 2009.
