Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has accused the National Judicial Council of being “a willing tool” of intimidating judges “who are simply discharging their duties”.
Gov. Wike noted that when judges are subjected to “summary trials” and preconceived indictment by the agency, judicial independence is eroded. He said “My candid opinion is that the National Judicial Council must thread with utmost caution in matters of judicial complaints and discipline lest it wittingly or unwittingly turns itself into another bully to be feared rather than being respected in its roles as both the headmaster and guardian angel of the nation’s judiciary.”
“There was also a time when our judges were respected all over the world for their independence, courage and credibility.
You are right Mr. Wike. NJC is now a willing tool to intimidating Judges. Too bad.
Judges should never feel intimidated, thats the height of the problems in our judiciary arm of government
