Section 271(4) of the 1999 Constitution specifically provides that an Acting Chief must be the most senior Judge of the State High Court. It is a misinformation for you to assert that the Constitution does not specifically mention the High Court. It is only a substantive Chief Judge that can be appointed outside the High Court but an Acting Chief judge must be the most senior Judge of the State High Court and to do otherwise is an aberration from the Constitution. Thank you.

The appointment wike just made,is it acting or substantive?

Jorussia:
[s]Agumagu is the most senior judge in Rivers state judiciary, although he is not in d high court.by tradition ,the of chief judge of a state has always been selected from d high court. The constitution says the most senior judge with no specific reference to the high court. I understand that justice Agamagu is still in court challenging is suspension by NJC.Wike should try as possible to make peace with amaechi,if he is to enjoy his stay as gov of Rivers, pending when the tribunal decides his fate.You cannot use federal might to completely demonise somebody and put to a halt the speed of his governance,and expect him to sit down and fold his hands and not fight back.[/s]

Daisy is the MOST SENIOR JUDGE IN THE STATE HIGH COURT which qualifies her to be acting CJ. The NJC already approved her as the substantive CJN. The new House only need to confirm her candidacy.

. The appointment just made by Gov Wike is "Acting" not "substantive''.

For the House of Assembly to approve Justice Daisy as a substantive chief Judge, the whole process must start de novo. This is so because even if Daisy had earlier been recommended by the NJC, she was recommended to the previous Governor (not the incumbent Gov Wike).

Is she now an acting or substantive chief judge? Justice agumagu is still in court, and i know that the drama of who becomes the chief judge of rivers has just started.I laughed just now,when i heard that Wike is ordering the opening of courts,as if it was amaechi that closed the courts. we all know that the tussle between the federal might lead by wike and mama peace,and amaechi,over who becomes the chief judge of the state led to d closure of the courts,as there was no chief judge in d state who will assign cases to Judges. But wike and his men went about accusing amaechi of closing the courts.As for d closure of d house of assembly complex,we all know that if not for illegal attempts by six law makers led bibi,to take over the leadership control of an assembly of 33 members,that complex would not have been closed by security agencies,But wike,went about saying that it was amaechi that closed the assembly complex.If he thinks,that amaechi and APC will just sit down and not fight back, then he is a BIG JOKER.No need to even continue spelling out his atrocities, because in at least two months from now tribunal must have nullified his election and by at least Nov peterside will b sworn in as the gov of Rivers.

She is to function as an Acting Chief for a period not exceeding 3 months after which she can be re-appointed for another 3 month period but she can not be appointed more than twice as an Acting Chief Judge. Vide S. 271(4) of the Constitution.

Where is Jorussia coming from? Boss, Buhari may come down to Rivers State to conduct this election every year till May 29, 2019, two times in a year....but Wike will always defeat any candidate 'sponsored' by Amaechi!!!

QED!
