Gov. Wike Swears In A Non Indigene As Chief Judge Of Rivers State by nickxtra(m): 5:46pm On Mar 08, 2016 |
Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers today swore in
Justice Adama Iyayi-Lamikanra, an Edo state
indigene as the substantive Chief Judge of the
state less than 24 hours after nine members of
the State House of Assembly confirmed her as
substantive chief judge of the state.
The governor said that he has sworn to oath of
office to always do what is right. “They claimed
that this administration not allow non-indigenes
to breath. They said if we are voted in, we will
chase non-indigenes away. But I believe in the
laid precedent and the promotion of the best
practices in governance “.
The state government in a statement signed by
Simeon Nwakaudu, Special Assistant to the
Governor for electronic media, said the installation
of Justice Laminkara is line with the
recommendation of the National Judicial Council,
NJC, and the approval of the Rivers State House
of Assembly.
Wike advised the judiciary not to be influenced by
the antics of politicians, saying that, they must
uphold the rule of law at all times.
Performing the swearing-in of Iyayi-Lamikanra
who is an indigene of Edo State, Wike charged
judges of the Rivers State Judiciary to be
courageous in their dispensation of justice in line
with the tenets of the law.
The governor assured the judiciary that he will
continue to support the arm of government to
dutifully serve the people of Rivers state. He noted that he worked towards the emergence of the substantive Chief Judge on the premise laid down, despite the petitions by some persons against Justice Iyayi-Lamikanra on the basis that she is not an indigene of the state. “Judges should not allow politicians to manipulate them to cause crisis in the judiciary.” Wike said those opposed to the emergence of Justice Iyayi-Lamikanra on the premise that she is not an indigene of Rivers State, must realise that she was appointed Magistrate and Judge in the state without anyone raising questions on her state of origin. He added that though the arms of government must work independently, there must be cooperation for the development of the state. The governor urged Justice Iyayi-Lamikanra to carry her brother-judges along for stability in the judiciary. Responding, the newly sworn in substantive Chief Judge of Rivers state, Justice Adama Iyayi- Lamikanra assured the people of Rivers state that she would dispense justice in line with the law. She said that she will ensure that the Rivers State Judiciary develops to the envy of others in the country. |

Democracy wasn't made for the black man, We love being in total control, that's why even the democracy we claim to practise is a dictatorship, whereby It's either you buy your opponents off, or take them out hitman style |
