Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on Tuesday sworn-in Justice Abiodun Adebara and Kadi Abdullateef Kamaldeen as substantive chief judge of Kwara State and Grand Kadi Kwara State Shariah Court of Appeal.  

The re-stated his administration’s commitment to the rule of law and non-interference in the justice system, even as he congratulated the two judicial officers on their appointments and urged them to commit themselves to duties in line with the constitutional oaths they have just subscribed to. 

“I have been told that this is the first time that the Chief Judge and the Grand Kadi will take their oaths of Allegiance and Judicial Oaths on the same occasion. “This is coming just after the overwhelming majority of the people of Kwara State have renewed our mandate to serve them for another term of four years. 

“The state is therefore at the threshold of history as the leaderships of the three arms of government are assuming fresh mandates about the same period. This imposes on us a duty to work together for the larger interest of our people while respecting the boundaries of separation of powers.

“As Your Lordships assume your role of leading and guiding the judiciary, I would like to re-state my administration’s commitment to the rule of law and non-interference in the justice system.”

Justice Adebara, assured the governor and the people of the state that brother-judges, together with the entire workforce of the state judiciary, are committed to serving the people to the best of their abilities.
