President Bola Tinubu has written to the Senate seeking the confirmation of Justice Oyewole Kayode as a Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.
The President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, read the letter during plenary on Tuesday.
In the letter, Tinubu cited Section 231(2) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended), and wrote:
“I am pleased to present for confirmation by the Senate, the appointment of Hon. Justice Oyewole Kayode as Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria. While it is my hope that the Senate will consider and confirm the nomination expeditiously, please accept the assurances of my highest regards.”
Following the reading, Akpabio referred the letter to the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights, and Legal Matters, instructing the committee to report back to the Senate as soon as possible.
