2023: Approach your job with fear of God, CJ Tsoho tells judges
The chief judge of the Federal High Court, John Tsoho, on Monday, called on judges to discharge their responsibilities with the fear of God ahead of the 2023 elections.
Justice Tsoho gave the advice while fielding questions from journalists at a programme for the court’s 2022/2023 Legal Year Service at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Abuja.
“Though some others (judges) are of other faith, they too have gone to pray according to their faith,” he said. “So I advise that they approach their job with the fear of God. That is what is paramount.”
The chief judge, who urged everyone to be prayerful as the elections approach, said the country would overcome all its challenges if everyone depended on God.
“We have to be prayerful and allow ourselves to be guided by God because He is the one who has entrusted us with these positions and responsibilities.
“So, whatever the challenges, we will be able to overcome if we depend on God,” he said.
Earlier, Rev. Father Moses Jimbili urged the judges to always begin with God and end everything in God as they discharge their duties.
