---- Congratulates Acting Chief Judge, Hon. Justice
Iyayi-Lamikanra
The Chairman, Rivers State
chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bro. Felix Obuah has lauded the
indisputable disposition and steadfastness of the Rivers State Governor, Chief
Nyesom Wike, in respecting due process and rule of law in governance of the
State.
The PDP Chairman notes that
the appointment of the Acting Chief Judge of the State, Hon. Justice A. I. Iyayi-Lamikanra,
following due retirement of the immediate past substantive Chief Judge, Hon. Justice
Daisy Wotube Okocha, is one among other genuine and demonstrable actions of the
Governor in keeping to the relevant provisions of the Constitution of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria and the rules and procedures guiding such
appointment.
Bro. Obuah believes that Gov
Wike’s transparency and resoluteness as he assured on assumption of office as Governor
of the State on May 29, 2015, has restored justice, respect and smote
succession in the Rivers State Judiciary.
He hints that the Governor’s
action has also prevented undue and avoidable judiciary crisis which was the
hallmark of the administration of former Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, expressing
confident that Rivers State Courts will no longer be closed, thereby denying
citizens and residents of the State access to justice.
“We promised people of the
State and indeed all Nigerians a brand new Rivers State, where the three arms
of government will function independently and carry out their constitutional Check
and Balance functions accordingly. I am happy that the Governor, Chief Nyesom
Wike, has been resolute in keeping to this promise and can assure our people
that he will not be distracted or betray the thrust reposed in him as our
Governor”, Obuah says.
While we congratulate the
immediate past Chief Judge of our dear State, Hon. Justice Daisy Okocha, on her
uprightness, fulfilled and successful completion of service to the State in
that capacity, and retirement from active service, we welcome the incoming
Acting Chief Judge, Hon. Justice A. I. Iyayi- Lamikanra, and urge her to
continue the good works of her predecessor that would also ensure quick
dispensation and efficient administration of justice in the State.
