Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has declared that his administration will recover the state funds found at an Ikoyi residence despite the antics of the Federal Government.

This is as Wike declared that his administration would continue to promote the independence of the judiciary for the sustained growth of the state.

Speaking during a special appearance on Channels Television’s Sunrise programme, Wike reiterated that the money stashed at the Ikoyi residence belongs to the people of the state.

He said the state team of lawyers were already working to ensure that Rivers State gets back her funds which are proceeds from the sale of the assets of the state. Recall that Wike had at a press conference explained that the Ikoyi funds were proceeds from the sale of the assets of the state government, by the immediate past Rotimi Amaechi administration.

“We will follow due process of the law to get back Rivers State money found at the Ikoyi residence.

This money belongs to the Rivers State people. We have conducted out checks. We will stun Nigeria with this matter. We will come out with our evidence at the appropriate time,” he said.

The governor said the state government would not reveal its strategy to recover the funds because of the games being played by the APC Federal Government. He said the politicisation of the entire issue indicated that the Federal Government had something to hide.

Meanwhile, Wike while addressing members of the bench and bar during the state’s Golden Jubilee Special Court Session yesterday, charged judges to be courageous as they dispense justice. The governor said the Nigerian Judiciary had reached a stage where only courageous judges could uphold the rule of law.

He said: “Nigeria has come to a point where if you don’t have courage, justice will not be done. The judiciary must continue to uphold the tenets of the law.”

He expressed regrets that the judiciary had come under intense blackmail under the present administration. “Why is it that only when a matter comes that the Federal Government has interest that money is found in the account of judges?” he asked.

While confirming the need to fight corruption, he condemned the approach that is politically motivated and selective.

He suggested the promotion of the welfare of judicial officers to make corruption unattractive for them. He explained that his administration had embarked on the construction of Judges Quarters.

The governor said that the administration would always work with the state judiciary to develop Rivers State. The state’s Chief Judge, Justice Adama Iyaye-Laminkara, lauded the governor for the financial autonomy of the judiciary and the independence it enjoys.

Oga go rest abeg...

guy wake up

Wike is just messing around with the brains of fellow wailers. He had all the opportunity to present his case before the court but did nothing till the funds were permanently forfeited to the federal government. Fortunately for him, some people will still believe this nonsense.

Mostly zombies in Ogbomosho and other strange places are the ones angry with Wike and his giant developmental strides in our darling Rivers state

Such a big fool this ogre is. Thought he once gave the FG an ultimatum to hand over the cash to the state government. That ultimatum has expired over a month ago and he's still here talking trash.

What a shame.

Is your brain paining you? Or your are probably living in another planet.. In South West we have bad governors as well but non of them is worst as Wike administration.. Why can't you dance to your mother music instead of listening to foreign sounds...

Lolol I told you people and I've been justified. Funny even a shémale zombie and another cow who's people are daily massacred by his Fulani masters think they have a say in Rivers state where they neither reside or visit. Zombies are daft Sha

I'm sure shit4brain wailers won't have problem believing wike.
No wonder they call them wailing zombie
