The Governor of Rivers State,
Nyesom Wike, has said he gave judges car gifts, as part of his fight against
corruption.
Wike stated this during the
presentation of the cars on Monday in Port Harcourt, the state capital.
He urged the judges to rededicate
themselves to their duties and shun acts of corruption.
“There should be no more excuses
for corruption and indolence in job performance among our judges with the level
of incentives and entitlements we are providing.
“The point cannot be
overemphasized that the most important consideration of their calling is to
ensure that justice gets to everyone that comes before you within the rule of
law,” Wike said.
The Governor also decried
instances, where judges recuse themselves from matters brought before them and
return the case files to the heads of the court.
According to Wike, the decisions
of such judges, are not far from intimidation and pressure from litigants who
try to induce them.
