Appointment of Chief Justice of Nigeria and Justices of the Supreme Court

Section 231(5) · 1999 Constitution (2004 edition)

What Constitution says

(5) Except on the recommendation of the National Judicial Council, an appointment pursuant to the provisions of subsection (4) of this section shall cease to have effect after the expiration of three months from the date of such appointment, and the President shall not re-appointment a person whose appointment has lapsed.

This is the 1999 Constitution as published in 2004. Later amendments aren't included yet, so a section may have changed since.
