The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) Uche Secondus has said the former Chief Justice of the Federation, Justice Idris Legbo Kutigi was a courageous and principled jurist who would be remembered for his numerous landmark judgments.
Secondus, who said the death of the great jurist came to him as a shock, thanked God for the huge legacies he left behind.
In a statement signed by his media adviser Ike Abonyi, the PDP Chairman noted that, “at this time the nation is going through difficult times, the experience of men of integrity like late Justice would have been greatly needed but God knows the best.”

He recalled how late Kutigi used the Judiciary to correct a number of political anomalies in the land as well as his exceptional leadership as the Chairman of the defunct National Constitutional conference.
Secondus commiserated with the family, one of whom is his Special assistant and urged them to take solace in the fact that their Dad left behind enviable records in his area of endeavour.
He finally prayed for the peaceful repose of the soul of the former CJN.
