The NJC had earlier directed President Goodluck Jonathan to recall the embattled former head of the appeals court following the recommendations of a panel it constituted to review his suspension.
THE NJC in rescinding its earlier stand on the matter agreed with the Presidency that it would be pre judicial to recall Salami, a source at the NJC’s council meeting told THEWILL.
The source further said that most council members agreed that the NJC should let the court processes end before the issue of his reinstatement can be revisited.
Meanwhile, the NJC has stood down the Chief Judges recommended for Adamawa, Osun and Kwara by their governors.
The rejected nominees are Justice Olubunmi Oyewole (Osun), Justice Suleiman Durosinlorun Kawu (Kwara) and Justice Binta Nyako (Adama); she is wife of Adamawa State Governor, Admiral Murtala Nyako.
The council asked the governors to resend nominations base on seniority in the judiciary of their respective states.
