The Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, has again berated the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the State for
criticizing the appointments of the former State Chief Judge, (CJ), Hon.
Justice Iche Ndu and former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA,
Chief Okey Wali, SAN, as members of the National Judicial Council, NJC,
Judicial Ethics Committee.
The State Chairman of the Party, Bro Felix Obuah, in a press
statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Jerry Needam,
said for opposing the appointments of Justice Iche Ndu and Chief Okey Wali,
SAN, APC has further demonstrated its ungodly resolve not to see any good thing
come to the State.
According to Bro Obuah, to stand against anything good in the
State to discredit the nationally acknowledged good efforts of Governor Nyesom Wike
and the penchant of blackmailing illustrious and respectable senior citizens of
the State, in the persons of Justice Iche Ndu and Chief Okey Wali, SAN, is not
how to play politics.
It’s also shocking the State PDP boss further noted, that
Justice Iche Ndu who is internationally revered as a reputable jurist and who
was the State Chief Judge throughout the Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi administration
and was never found lacking could be so insulted by the APC in the State to the
point of asking the NJC to remove his name from the list of the Committee
members.
The PDP is further shocked, that Chief Okey Wali, SAN, who
emerged the President of the Nigerian Bar Association in 2012, during the
administration of Rotimi Amaechi, as Governor of Rivers State, could also be
insulted by the APC.
The only thing that could be fathomed from the APC’s
opposition of Justice Iche Ndu and Chief Okey Wali, SAN, appointment by the NJC
is that both the honourable Justice Iche Ndu and Chief Okey Wali, SAN, might
have refused to play dirty and allow Chibuike Amaechi and the APC thwart the
course of justice, while he served as Governor in the State, Bro Obuah
declared.
The State PDP chairman regretted that the APC seems to be
stopping at nothing to denigrate and malign all the notable and respected names
and men of integrity by whom the State is recognized and appreciated in the
comity of States and wondered what it (APC) wishes to achieve with all this
character assassination of these respectable ambassadors of the State.
More disturbing, Bro Obuah noted, is that, there is hardly
one name that is worth its salt within the APC that has ever or will ever bring
honours to the State as these reputable statesmen, the APC is trying to vilify
and crucify on the altar of bad politics, have done.
While appealing to the Rivers people, the NJC and the entire
country to discountenance the malicious and baseless pronouncements on the
appointments of Justice Iche Ndu and Chief Okey Wali, SAN, by the NJC, the
State PDP boss said the politics of hate, bitterness and manhunt for perceived
political enemies being foisted on Nigerians will tarry only for a short while,
believing that in the end victory will be on the side of the greater majority
of the Nigerian people against the wicked, unpatriotic few, represented by the
APC.
