According to the Nigerian Constitution, the appointment of a federal judge requires a recommendation by the National Judicial Council, confirmation by the Senate, and appointment by the President. In a recent case, the President appointed a judge after receiving a direct recommendation from the executive without the Council's input, and the Senate gave its consent. Does this appointment comply with the principle of judicial independence as embodied in the separation of powers?

Answer Options

A. Yes - the President's direct appointment is permissible under the Constitution's provision for executive discretion.
B. Yes - the appointment complies with judicial independence as long as the Senate approves, regardless of NJC involvement.
C. No - the appointment is invalid because the Senate did not give its consent, even though the NJC recommendation was present.
Correct Answer D. No - the appointment violates the constitutional requirement for NJC recommendation and thus undermines judicial independence.
