Amid assault on the Judiciary by the executive arm of government, President Muhammadu Buhari has requested the Senate to consider and confirm the nominations of two judges as Justices of the Supreme Court.
Senate President, Bukola Saraki, read the letter conveying the request as the Senate returned from closed-door session on Tuesday.
The nominated judges are Sidi Bage, Nasarawa State, North Central; and Paul Jauro, Taraba State, North East.
In the letter, President Buhari grounded his request on Section 231(2) of the Constitution of Nigeria and sought expedited confirmation.
