Governor WIKE said this during a Courtesy Visit by the President of the Court of Appeal, Justice ZAINAB BULKACHUWA at the Government House Port Harcourt, where he also said that the Judiciary remains vital to the sustenance of democracy.
Governor WIKE alleged that the Executive and Legislative Arms of Government are more corrupt than the Judiciary, but the Judiciary is always criticised.
He said the Judges have over time allowed themselves to be side-line by the Executive and the Legislative Arms, each time they fail to rise up to the occasion.
The Governor said that as a result of calculated Intimidation the Judiciary is afraid to relate with State Governments to get support that will enhance the Administration of Justice.
Speaking further, the Governor called on the President Court of Appeal to increase the number of judges in the Port Harcourt Division because it is second only to the Lagos Division in terms of volume of cases.
