\n
The Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice John Tsoho, on Friday, said the court ensured that it was not used to truncate the governorship election that was held in Anambra state recently.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\nJustice Tsoho, who spoke at the 37th Annual Judges Conference, said he was happy that no action emanated from the court to interfere with the gubernatorial election of November 6.<\/div>\n
\nHe said: \u201cI will continue to appreciate your Lordships for your hard work and dedication to duty throughout the legal year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am indeed happy that no action emanated from this court to truncate or interfere with the Anambra state governorship election, which situation was charged and seemed like dry gun powder waiting to be ignited.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cAny action taken by the court in one way or the other, would have caused a spontaneous reaction by the players in the field, anxiously looking for an excuse and who to blame.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe Anambra elections as well as the Ondo and Edo elections have come and gone and there was no complaint against this court.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is also a thing of joy and pride that no judge of the Federal High Court featured in the recent saga of wrong issuance of exparte orders. Let us continue to maintain this image.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\u201cI encourage your Lordships to always be wary of actions and that will put your good selves and the Court in a bad light.<\/p>\n

\u201cJudges are human beings but must see themselves as occupying positions that are more sensitive than others.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\u201cHence, like Ceasar\u2019s wife, they must be above suspicions. Indeed, words and actions that would easily seem provocative to the \u2018ordinary man\u2019 should be completely avoided\u201d.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Justice Tsoho disclosed that plans are underway to appoint 21 new Judges for the court.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is expected that when all of them come on board, the total workload of judges will reduce\u201d, the CJ added.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
