My Confidence in Judiciary is High- Wike

By Correspondent

Embattled Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, on Saturday maintained that his confidence in the Nigerian judiciary is absolute, and that his respect for the institution to do justice in the state governorship legal battle is unquestionable.Wike did not stop at that, he argued that on the basis of the April 11 election, his mandate would be upheld in the course of the Appeal process.The governor, who was speaking at a stakeholders’ meeting at the Government House, Port Harcourt charged the people of the state not to condemn judges despite the judicial setback, just as he pointed out that the appeal process will correct the judicial opinion of the state tribunal.According to the governor, “Be assured by the grace of God our lawyers are working hard to file the appeal within stipulated time. I have told people that it is not in our character to cast aspersions on judges. I have also told people not to speak on my behalf to castigate judges.“The tribunal is not the final appellate court on this matter. There is no need of castigating the judiciary.“We are not one of those who, when judgment favours you, you say you have confidence in the judiciary; and when it does not favour you, you lose confidence in the judiciary.“I want to say, in the past two days you must have read where they quoted me as saying “judicial terrorism” or “judicial gang-up”, I never said so. And I never authorised anybody to say so on this matter.”
