The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has presented to the retiring Chief Judge of the state, Adama Iyayi-Lamikanra, a brand new house, a new Sport Utility Vehicle and a Hilux van.
Wike stated these in his farewell speech at the special court session in honour of the retiring Chief Judge of Rivers State, Iyayi-Lamikanra, in Port Harcourt on Tuesday. Wike took a swipe at the Nigerian Bar Association for allegedly instigating tension in the state over the appointment of a Chief Judge. He also castigated the International Federation of Women Lawyers for making comments on gender equality because a woman was not recommended by the National Judicial Council to succeed Justice Adama Iyayi-Lamikanra.
“At any rate, the state Judicial Service Commission could not have recommended a judicial officer who has become notorious for returning case files for reassignment on flimsy excuses to the prime position of Chief Judge. The governor extoled Justice Iyayi-Lamikanra as a bold, fearless and courageous judge who resisted political pressures to give the wrong judgment and halted the sitting of the kangaroo judicial panel of inquiry set up by the previous Governor to vainly indict his political reputation on spurious charges and fabricated facts.
