Group decries non-confirmation of Cross River Chief Judge, alleges politicisation of appointment
In a protest letter delivered to the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Hon Eteng Jonas Williams, the group lamented the non confirmation of the Acting Chief Judge.
“Unfortunately, with the recent retirement of Hon. Justice Michael Edem as Chief Judge, the succession to this exalted office has become mired in needless and avoidable controversy and attempts at politicising the appointment of the next Chief Judge. “It is well-known that at least three other Acting Chief Judges recommended by the NJC on the same day as Justice Ikpeme were, like her, the most senior Judges in their States. These three Acting Chief Judges have since had their nominations approved by their State Houses of Assembly and have been sworn-in by the Governors of their States.
