Nigerians must be courageous enough to stop the emerging civilian dictatorship, Governor Wike of Rivers State said in Port Harcourt.
He said there is no denying the fact that the APC-led government in Nigeria is increasingly becoming intolerant of the opposition while urging the federal government to fight judicial and other corrupt practices with the seriousness they deserved, within the ambit of the rule of law.
He stated this yesterday while commissioning and and handing over the Port Harcourt Federal High Court complex to the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Ibrahim Auta.
The High Court was build by the Wike-led administration among others which has earned him and his administration a deserving praise from well-meaning Nigerians including ex-president Goodluck Jonathan and Nigeria's Acting President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo.
He lamented the raid on judges who were thrown in stir in even before investigations which he said, amounted to political witch-hunt and practical strategy to cow the judiciary into submission.
Speaking further, he said his administration's resolve to build the High Court is borne out of the fact to ensure proper dispensation of justice and to bring about good governance.
He said: “It is my patriotic prayers for all men of courage and goodwill, irrespective of partisan affiliations, to intervene to stop the present cascade into hell before we all lose our liberties to an emerging civilian dictatorship that is increasingly becoming intolerant of political opposition.
“This nation must find better ways of fighting judicial and other corruption with all the seriousness they deserve within the framework of the rule of law, instead of entertaining the gullible public with a phantom and tendentious actions against corruption.”
Continuing he said, “We, therefore, resolved not only to complete all stalled court projects, but also, to initiate new ones to meet the increasing demand for judicial services by our people.
“In a country such as ours, where the justice delivery system is pretentiously federal, but manifestly unitary, our quest for having the most modern and advanced court houses and justice system cannot be completely achieved if we limit our judicial transformation agenda only to State Courts.
