Father Joseph Opelema, Parish Priest and Vicar General, Catholic Diocese of Bomadi and Vice-chairman, Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN Bayelsa State chapter said: “Before this government of President Muhammadu Buhari came into power, the expectations were high but five years down the line, what we have is despair. 2020 has been a disaster occasioned by COVID19 and bad governance.
The Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, has challenged the Judiciary to ensure that budget control is not only the motivational factor in their craving for independence, but also the discharge of their functions without fear of intimidation or favour.
He noted that this was imperative because no government and country can make meaningful progress, if the Judiciary was not allowed to carry out their functions independently.
Wike stated this at the official presentation of 29 brand new Renault Koleos 2020 SUVs to chairmen of the Customary Courts of the Rivers State Judiciary at the State Judiciary Complex in Port Harcourt, last Wednesday.
