The Acting Chief Judge of Cross River State, Justice Maurice Eneji, has been given a tenure extension for another three months to continue in acting capacity amidst controversy.
Governor Ayade, in a letter dated May 29, 2020, obeyed the directives of the NJC and wrote to the state legislature demanding the confirmation of Justice Ikpeme as directed by the NJC. “There is no new information. Besides, if the NJC cannot reverse themselves, we too cannot reverse ourselves,” Fred Osim, one of the legislators said while supporting the motion to reject the confirmation of Justice Ikpeme.
“It stated that the extension of Justice Eneji’s appointment shall take effect from June 3, 2020 and end on September 2, 2020 in accordance with the provisions of Section 217 of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended. Giving his views on the probing questions, Chief Mba Ukweni, SAN, said it would be sad and unfortunate for the Judiciary in Cross River State and indeed Nigeria, if the NJC allows the politicians to manipulate their decisions against constitutional provisions.
