Rivers House Of Assembly Saga: Nigerians Demand Accountability From The Judiciary – JAD
Wobo Stephen – Dez Mayorz Report.
The Joint Action for Democracy – JAD has called on the conscience of the Nigerians to demand accountability from the judiciary, to protect her independence, and restore confidence in the judiciary as the last hope of justice.
Concerning a viral video showing Rt. Hon. Martin Amaewhule and others waving the APC flag; The national cordinator of Joint Action for Democracy- JAD, Peter Ameh decried the recent inconsistencies within courts of coordinate jurisdiction and obvious political influence that has bastardized the essence of fairness and justice.
Said that politicians now boastfully use the Judiciary as a weapon to undo their opponents and procure a judgment in their favor.
Using the case of Rivers, JAD released a video showing Rt. Hon. Martin Amawhule and 26 others of the Rivers State House of Assembly loyal to FCT Minister Nyesom, voluntarily defected from their original political party without any established crisis within the party and swore to an affidavit to authenticate their defection.
JAD argues that they automatically lost their seats as prescribed by Law.
‘We have seen how they still boast that they shall influence the Judiciary in their favor.
Nigerians especially Rivers people rely on the Supreme Court to put the record straight without any undue influence.
The Supreme Court as the highest decision maker is expected to protect the sanctity of Nigeria’s Judicial system to avert the breakdown of law and order in the oil-rich Rivers State.’ – Joint Action for Democracy JAD said.
Dez Mayorz News has earlier reported that the case is before the Supreme Court to determine.
