Cross River State drifting toward anarchy over non-confirmation of Chief Judge – Esua
Nyong Esua, has said that the state would be thrown to anarchy over non-confirmation of the Chief Judge of the state.
The Speaker stated, “That is not our rules, what you are asking is not before us, we cannot treat that today, it is not before us, if it is a matter that is before us we will treat it, it was not listed. That matter is close. “On 9th December 2019, the Chief Justices of the Federation wrote to the Governor of Cross River State, Prof Ben Ayade recommending Justice Akon Ikpeme as the Acting Chief Justice of the State.
“Governor judiciously did that since on the 9th of January 2020, recommending Justice Akon Ikpeme, so the next thing would have been for the correspondence to be laid on the table and referred to the committee which I am the Chairman, for proper screening of the woman and bring a report forward which we would be our resolutions to the Governor for the woman to be sworn in.
“We saw the hands of Pharaoh and the body is Esau, because if you go to him on one on one, he will tell you, he is waiting to hear from the Governor, that they intend to extend the tenure of the woman by another three months which is not possible, the provision is simple, you can only extend when the NJC has not recommended, once there is a recommendation, it is not possible.
