The Rivers State governor, Nyesom
Wike has said he will resist any attempt to cripple the judiciary in the state.
The Governor alleged that it was
an attempt to manipulate the judicial process in favour of the All Progressives
Congress, APC.
Speaking to journalists in Port
Harcourt, the state capital yesterday, the governor said he would raise
petitions to all necessary quarters because the alleged moves by the President
of the Court of Appeal, with the Special Panel of the Appeal Court recently
constituted to attend to a matter before the Supreme court, is a gross
violation of judicial process in the country.
He said, “The President, Court of
Appeal is being used to cause crisis in Rivers State.
“When you see that something is
going bad, you let your people know. That is what I am doing.
“Despite the fact that the appeal
on the Local Government matter has been scheduled for February 2018 at the
Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal at the last sitting resolved to respect
that position, the President of the Court of Appeal has set up a Special Panel
for the matter.”
