Her confirmation follows President Bola Tinubu’s request which urged the Upper Chamber to consider and confirm Kekere-Ekun as the real CJN.
President Tinubu’s letter to the chamber on Tuesday read. “I have the honour to forward the nomination of Honourable Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun CON for confirmation as CJN. While it is my hope that this request will receive the expeditious consideration and confirmation of the senate, please, accept distinguished senate president the assurances of my highest consideration and personal regards”,
