Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has decried the involvement of some judicial officers in partisan politics, saying those in the temple of justice have no business in politics.
He said: “Adjudication and politics are incompatible extremes hence; no judge can be both and legitimately claim to be an independent and impartial adjudicator. “Therefore, the rule of law, independence of the judiciary and effective delivery of justice are on the top priority of my administration.“Even though my administration inherited a judiciary that was completely neglected and judicial officers were treated with disdain, we made a commitment to change the unfortunate narrative”, he said.
He said that there should be no room for corruption and indulgence among judges following the level of incentives he had provided for them.
