Wike
A political pressure group,Concerned
Democrats, has
urged the people of Rivers state of a planned dinner
for Judges at all levels of courts in the state, being put
together by Rivers State government at the
instance of Governor Nyesom Wike.
Concerned
Democrats in
a statement signed
by Ombo Black Duke, Secretary General revealed
that the said dinner which is tentatively slated for Monday December
3, 2018 is alleged to be planned as a sleek
opportunity for Governor Wike to pretend to gate-crash the artificial
event and engage the Judges.
"We have it on good authority that Wike
has concluded plans to make open "Greek gifts" and “Juicy
offers” to the Judges in the guise of work incentives just to sway
them unjustly for his planned dirty jobs as the campaigns for the
2019 elections begins.
The
statement read: "As
is usual with the governor, who cannot go one by one to visit the
Judges in their respective homes, he has penned down those to be used
to do the yeo-man's job at various levels of the judiciary beginning
with the State High Courts which are Courts of First instance, then
upstairs. The governor has also lined up lists of
frivolous cases, including malicious criminal trials; false
charges, etc which shall be speedily adjudicated upon by these select
Judges just to desperately try to compromise the integrity of certain
opposition figures in the State for his selfish political purposes.
"Furthermore, the state government under Wike
has listed various categories of Commissions of Enquiry to be set up
and targeted at opposition leaders, including some of the unbeatable
signature programs and projects of the Rotimi Amaechi administration.
"On this note we charge this class of eminent
Judges who have distinguished themselves unlike others, not to sell
themselves and fall prey to such a dangerous entrapment at such a
time when mundane gains will eventually destroy their hard earned
reputations.
"We further charge and challenge Rivers state to avoid being used as a tool by Nyesom Wike for
these destructive missions. We call on the chief Judge to uphold the
sanctity of the bench in the interest of our dear state.
"We insist and affirm that we as a group shall
not hesitate to fully explore the multiple windows available to us to
bring the Chief Judge of Rivers State to justice should she go on to
do anything at all to compromise the course of justice in Rivers
state.
"Finally we advise the Rivers State government to call off the staged dinner event and advice judges to stay away
from this much publicised event, as there is no viable occasion in
the legal calendar warranting such a suspicious and curious feast.
Your people are watching."
