Justice SALAMI revealed that he rejected the appointment because it is not in his interest.
Insisting that contrary to the statement issued by the Office of the Chief Justice of Nigeria that it had yet to be formally notified of SALAMI’s decision to reject the appointment, the former President of the Court of Appeal said he had sent a formal letter to the appropriate authorities to that effect.
Making an indirect reference to the former President GOODLUCK JONATHAN administration’s refusal to reinstate him as the President of the Court of Appeal despite NJC’s recommendation that he should be returned to office, Justice SALAMI said that the NJC and the courts abandoned him during his trying time.
