The Presidency on Sunday said nobody should applaud Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State for erecting buildings for the judiciary in the state.

Senator Ita Enang, Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to President Muhammadu Buhari on Niger Delta Affairs who stated this in an interview on Channels Television monitored by DAILY INDEPENDENT, said Governor Wike has been treating the judges in the state badly by failing to grant them judicial autonomy.

Recall that Wike had last month said that that the Rivers State Government will not enact a bill for financial autonomy of the Judiciary.

According to him, it will be futile to bother the State Assembly with such a bill since the 1999 constitution as amended already recognizes the independence of the judiciary.

Enang in his assertion said that Governor Wike needs to be told the truth that he has not been treating judges in his state fairly by illegally withholding what rightfully belongs to them.

He said, “Let me just use this opportunity to draw attention to the fact that we have been clapping for Rivers state government for doing well for the judiciary”.

“We thank His Excellency Governor Wike for what he has done for the federal high court, for what he has done for the Nigerian Law School, for anything he has done for any other federal arm of government but Rivers state has done very badly in terms of treatment of the judiciary of Rivers state”.

“It is not that you have to build the courts for the judiciary, it is not that you have to do anything for the judiciary. it is that the governor of Rivers state and other states should release the money of the judiciary to the judiciary; to be used by the judiciary on the judiciary and to be accounted for by the judiciary”.

“Nobody should clap for Governor Wike, we should tell him the truth. He keeps saying ‘my money if you touch my money’. The money does not belong to the governor of a state”.

I admire his advice to Wike, but before I forgot he should also use same energy to advice the vegetable in Aso rock

Which of the Wike?

Cos According to Pdp miscreants, Gov Wike can never do wrong

What are they even judging?

Greedy judges.. After alll wike has done for them?

Mtchwwww... Under buhari, the court is actually irrelevant... Buhari dey do military junta instead

Let me be real with you OP;

From all indications, Wike has always treated the judiciary in his state well. Trust me, those judges de chop belle full well well for Rivers state.

Abi no be the same judges wey Wike de always buy cars for be this? The man has always supported his colleagues well. Seeing that he is also, a bencher.

....I no be lawyer and I don't know much about the letters of the constitution but for those that know I wan ask has the constitution already granted the judiciary autonomy ?

You're saying rubbish. Malami isn't a governor. Malami doesn't control judiciary funds. More importantly, the thugs u are referring to has no business with malami. Ok.

Common it's simple enough to understand.

Wike is intimidating the judiciary with money and gifts.

It is not his role to spend money on the judiciary. His role is to give the judiciary their money to spend for themselves.

Wike is the biggest con man in Nigeria. Everything he bashes the FG for doing, he does it himself.

Hypocrite criticising hypocrite.

Caseless:


Wike is petty, I know he'd reply. We can't have the country of our dream if the judiciary is fully autonomous. But Wike is always the first to point out the defect in others.

True

Very petty indeed.

He will answer.


The only one he was afraid to answer to was FFk.

FFK get mouth pass am.

He know say that one craze pass him own.

Very true. Judiciary should be autonomous

How is it Wike's job to grant judiciary autonomy?

If a governor doesn't control law enforcement in his so-called domain, why pretend he controls the administration of justice?

Holly Gram real matters. WTF MAN

Nobody should clap for Governor Wike, we should tell him the truth. He keeps saying ‘my money if you touch my money’. The money does not belong to the governor of a state”.

This man is funny and denying it isnt Wike's money. Who doesn't know that it is Wike's money talking? How come he chased out Amaechi? Lol. It is Wike's money, and we all know. The question is how did he accumulate such wealth to start funding his party and state? Who knows sabi am. Who no sabi, just shut up.

Wike will die a painful Dead. Just like Buhari

You are talking like someone with the antidote for death. Na only God know the mental state of some people for this nairaland.
