Okpebholo Swears in Three Judges Left Unsworn by Obaseki
Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo, has made a significant move toward fulfilling his promises made during his inauguration by approving the swearing-in of three judges who had been overlooked by his predecessor, Godwin Obaseki.
This decision comes after the three judges were among eight candidates cleared and recommended for appointment by the National Judicial Council (NJC) in June 2023, but were not sworn in before Obaseki left office.
The three judges are Ojo Maureen Osa, Godwin Jeff Okundamiya, and Edoghogho Eboigbe.
Their appointments are seen as crucial in reinforcing the state’s judiciary and upholding justice in Edo.
Okpebholo had made it clear in his inaugural address on November 12, 2024, that he was committed to ensuring that the judiciary functioned without unnecessary delays or hindrances.
During his speech, he directed the state’s Chief Judge, Daniel Okungbowa, to investigate why the judges were not sworn in by the previous administration, promising to take action swiftly.
A statement from the Secretary to the State Government, Musa Umar Ikhilor, confirmed that the three judges would be formally sworn in by Governor Okpebholo on December 2, 2024, at 1:00 p.m.
The ceremony will take place at the State Executive Council Chambers at the Government House in Benin City.
Ikhilor emphasized that this decision reflects the governor’s firm belief in the rule of law, the importance of the separation of powers outlined in Nigeria’s Constitution, and his commitment to ensuring that the judiciary is empowered to carry out its role in delivering justice.

South Korea’s presidential security chief, Park Chong-jun, made a clear statement on Friday urging that there should be no violence or bloodshed if authorities try to execute another arrest warrant for impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol, following his failed attempt to impose martial law.
He refused to cooperate with investigators, and last week, a tense standoff occurred between his security forces and law enforcement officers attempting to arrest him.
Yoon’s actions during the attempted martial law declaration have led to insurrection charges.
“I understand the concerns of the public, seeing the government in such conflict and confrontation,” Park said.
“However, there must be no physical clashes or bloodshed in this situation.”
Investigators obtained a new arrest warrant for Yoon after the previous seven-day order expired on Monday, aiming to question him over charges related to insurrection.
However, despite this, Yoon’s supporters have rallied around him, even braving freezing temperatures outside the presidential residence to protect him.
The Nigerian government has announced plans to shorten the minimum wage review cycle from five years to two, signaling a more frequent adjustment to align with economic realities.
This decision was revealed by the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, during an address in Abia State.
Onyejeocha explained that the revised timeline is part of President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to improving the welfare of Nigerian workers.
She emphasized that the government is determined to ensure that wage reviews happen regularly and in a timely manner.
“We are no longer sticking to the old five-year schedule for minimum wage reviews,” Onyejeocha said.
“Instead, we will now revisit the minimum wage every two years, with the next review set for less than two years from now.”
