President Muhammadu Buhari has said that the judiciary is his main headache   in the ongoing fight against corruption in Nigeria.
He said this in Addis Ababa yesterday while interacting with representatives of the Nigerian Community resident in Ethiopia.

Buhari was in Addis Ababa for the 26th Summit of the Assembly of Heads of State and Government of the African Union (AU).
Responding to a question on whether he was considering repositioning the nation’s judiciary to ensure the success of the ongoing anti-corruption fight,  the president said far-reaching reforms of the judiciary was his government’s major priority.
He stated that with the support of the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) Justice Mahmud Mohammed, he would continue to do his best to improve the country’s judicial system.
Buhari said: “On the fight against corruption vis-à-vis the judiciary, Nigerians will be right to say that is my main headache for now.”
The president recalled that he was in court at various times within 12 years to seek redress on election results before it was possible for Nigerians in 2015, through God and the use of technology, to elect him as president.
“In my first attempt in 2003, I ended up at the Supreme Court and for 13 months I was in court. The second attempt in 2007, I was in court close to 20 months and in 2011, my third attempt, I was also in court for nine months.
“All these cases went up to the Supreme Court until the fourth time in 2015, when God agreed that I will be President of Nigeria,” he stated.
Earlier, the representative of the Nigerian Community in Ethiopia, Femi Fajana, had told the president that he would have his name retained in history as the messiah of modern Nigeria.
Besides, Buhari disclosed that he had ordered a review of several railway projects which the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan signed with the Chinese government.
President Buhari was answering a question on what his government was doing in the areas of urban development and rail infrastructure.
He said despite the Chinese government’s agreement to pay 85 percent of the contract sum, the  projects could not see the light of the day because Jonathan’s administration failed to meet up with its 15 percent counterpart funding.
Buhari further disclosed that he had directed the Ministers of Transportation, Finance as well as Power, Works and Housing respectively to revisit the agreements and find ways of re-approaching the Chinese government for assistance.
