Some few minutes ago, Mr. Joe Igbokwe posted on his
Facebook wall, a comment, to the effect that the Governor of Rivers State, Mr
Nyesom Wike, the latter a lawyer and a member of the Body of Benchers, bought
his way through the Supreme Court of Nigeria.
I was alarmed at such open declaration, given that I’m
part and parcel of the Nigerian judiciary.
Consequently, I urge all lawyers, activists and lovers
of the rule of law and due process, to join me to engage Mr. Joe Igbokwe on
this rather reckless utterance.
Indeed, it is the height of
indignity. By my last reckoning, Mr Joe Igbokwe is still a public servant, in
Lagos State, the land of opportunities, being paid thorough our sweat and
labour.
How can such a person paint the
entire legal system of Nigeria
