Tinubu said: “I congratulate Justice Olukayode Ariwoola on his elevation to the topmost judicial position with his appointment as acting Chief Justice of Nigeria.
“To say this appointment is richly deserved is stating the obvious as Justice Ariwoola has given everything to the law and judiciary.
“Justice Ariwoola has held important appointments over the years during which he demonstrated excellence.
“His over four decades judicial career has been hallmarked by competence, integrity and deep understanding and interpretation of the law without fear or favour.
“Tinubu, therefore, expressed optimism and confidence that Justice Ariwoola would bring competency and integrity to the appointment and continue to uphold the principles of law with courage and impartiality.”
He wished him increased wisdom and God’s guidance, while praying for quick recovery for the former CJN.
“I thank Justice Muhammad for his services to Nigeria and the judiciary and I wish him a most memorable retirement.”
NAN reports that Justice Ariwoola was called to bar in July 1981 and rose to the apex court as a Justice of the Supreme Court in 2011.
