Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) national chairman Hakeem Baba-Ahmed says the houses President Bola Tinubu commissioned for Appeal Court judges are a “bribe.” Baba-Ahmed makes the allegation in an interview on Trust TV on Wednesday, describing the judges’ quarters as gifts that should not be accepted. He argues that if the government genuinely intends to support judges, it should improve judges’ salaries and allowances rather than build houses that exempt other categories of workers. He also questions why similar housing support is not extended to other groups such as permanent secretaries or doctors. According to the reports, Tinubu recently commissioned newly completed judges’ quarters comprising 10 units in the Katampe District of Abuja. Baba-Ahmed further says the government’s approach is “absurd” and advises judges to refuse the house gifts. The reports focus on Baba-Ahmed’s criticism and do not include a response from the federal government or judicial officials.

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. Recall 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.”
