Supreme Court, Gov Wike And Joe Igbokwe's Hallucinations

By Dan Amor

The recent display of political infantilism by one of Nigeria's most colourless political jobbers and butt lickers, Joe Igbokwe should be seen for what it is: a revelation of plot by his sponsors to once more intimidate the Nigerian judiciary as we prepare for the 2019 general elections. He recently posted a comment on his Facebook wall alleging that the Rivers State Governor Barrister Nyesom Wike goes to the Supreme Court to buy justice after several killings in his state. Igbokwe, a riotous personality who speaks before he thinks, posted on his Facebook wall: "Wike will not have the audacity and temerity to kill again and run to the Supreme Court to buy justice", ostensibly referring to what would happen to the governor in 2019 when they would rob him of his victory.

*Gov Wike 

It is another invidious attempt by someone generally known to be a political rascal to blackmail the judiciary. What he implies is that the governor is a killer and the Supreme Court a place where justice is sold and bought. But it is yet another joke too expensive for them as the judiciary under the leadership of the current Chief Justice of Nigeria, Hon. Justice Walter Nkanu Onnoghen can no longer be intimidated.
