Following
the annulment of the river state governorship election by the election
petition tribunal stitting in Abuja, the Anambra state leader of
people progressive alliance (PPA) Mr Godwin Ezeemo yesterday called for a
total independent of the judiciary
Ezeemo
who made the call during the commissioning of P-NAJS suites Ltd/silver
jubilee wedding anniversary of Chief Philip Umehchukwu and Chidubem
Umehchukeu at Nkpiikpa layout, Obosi , posited that with the freedom of
the judiciary it would be able to render credible justice that would not be contested outside the shores of Nigeria.
He
said "That in the case of James Ibori in 2012 that was given count of
170 charges by EFCC but was acquainted by the court and later picked up
in United Kingdom for same offence he was acquainted for in Nigeria."
He
however expressed satisfaction with the judiciary on the way it is
handling the election petition both at the National and state levels,
adding that "sanity is gradually returning to the system which shows
that those who think that they can manipulate power can be stopped."
According
to him "the decision of the tribunal shows that the electoral umpire
Independent National Election Commission (INEC) still has a lot of work
to do"
On President Mohammadu Buhari's
alleged selectiveness in the war against corruption he said " Buhari
should not be judged for now as he has just commenced with the
immediate past administration to avoid being too cumbersome for him"
Ezeemo
also disagreed with the alleged marginalization of Ndi Igbo adding
that President Buhari should be given time to unveil what he has for the
people
