Anambra is on the verge of making history and breaking record if the Supreme Court approves the appointment of Rev. Fr. Dr. Edwin Obiora SAN,a priest of the Catholic diocese of Awka, as a judge of Supreme Court. This is sequel to an application by the cleric who is also the first Catholic priest to become a Senior Advocate in Nigeria for a position as a supreme court judge alongside 22 others.

This was made known in a statement issued on Thursday by the National Publicity Secretary of the NBA, Dr. Rapulu Nduka, in Lagos.

The Chief Justice of Nigeria, Tanko Muhammad, had on Jan. 19 called for nominations of suitable candidates from five geopolitical regions in the country for appointment to the Supreme Court bench.

The zones are South-East, South-South, South-West, North-Central and North-West.
