National Chairman of the Peoples Redemption Party, PRP, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has described as ‘bribe’, the houses built for judges of the Appeal Court by President Bola Tinubu.
Baba-Ahmed made the claim on Wednesday in an interview on Trust TV.
DAILY POST recalls that the President recently commissioned the newly completed 10-unit Court of Appeal Judges’ Quarters in Katampe District of Abuja.
Reacting, Baba-Ahmed said, “If this government genuinely built an estate for judges, literally, it’s a bribe. That’s the fact.
“Government should rather improve their salary and allowances to improve their lives so that they can build their own houses.
“Building houses for them and exempt other workers is absurd. Why can’t the government build houses for permanent secretaries or doctors?
“If I were to advise the judges, I would straight up tell them not to accept the house gifts.”
