Female monarch protests non-confirmation of Justice Ikpeme as Cross River Chief Judge
The lawyer said she was saddened when she heard that Justice Akon Ikpeme was not confirmed by the State House of Assembly, noting that she had waited and hoped that this situation would have been resolved through common sense and co-operation.
“I hold the view that Governance should not be based on parochial sentiment but on objectivity. This emphasises the need for our leaders to be visionary and dedicated to the constitution and the cause of the people. “The scene played out in Cross River State over the conferment of the role of Chief Judge on Justice A Ikpeme strikes at the heart of patriarchy where financial independence and access to creative education and humanitarian freedom is out of reach for many women. This is the clear signal that has been sent out to Cross Riverrians as a result of the decision of the House. A woman has as much capacity to permeate every class of the community from the very top to the bottom as much as a man.
