The Rivers State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, has said that the Chief Justice of the Nigeria, Justice Aloma Mariam Mukhtar, should be blamed for the crisis rocking the state judiciary.
Amaechi spoke in Port Harcourt during a meeting between him and members of the Nigerian Bar Association over the ongoing judiciary workers’ strike in the state.
The judiciary workers began the strike on June 10, 2014 over the dispute between the state government and the National Judicial Council on the appointment of a Chief Judge of the state.
Addressing members of the NBA, Amaechi said contrary to opinions in some quarters, he was not behind the closure of courts in the state.
He urged members of the NBA to prevail on the CJN to comply with the law.
The governor, however, expressed dissatisfaction over the protest against his administration by some lawyers for non-appointment of a chief judge, adding that such lawyers should have channelled their grievances to the appropriate quarters.
