Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke has described the judiciary arm of government as the beacon of hope for the weak and powerless in the society.

Governor Adeleke stated this in Ibadan at a public function.

The Governor noted that the judiciary has contributed to the growth and sustenance of democracy, stressing that the judiciary holds the key for the survival of democracy.

He said despite many challenges facing several national institutions in the country, the Bar and Bench still sustain its balancing responsibilities by providing the nation with a torch of direction, justice and equity.

“From the bar to the bench, you are the harbinger of hope, the temple of redemption and the house of liberation for the unjustly treated. In Africa and beyond, I personally hold the Nigerian judiciary as the best in terms of its deliveries and commitment to justice and equity”.

While commending members of the judiciary, Governor Adeleke urged court Judges to continue to uphold the path of rule of law, justice, fairness and equity.
