Okocha further stated that Fubara has turned the state judiciary into a “supermarket” where he gets judgments in his favour.
As reported by The Punch, he stated this while reacting to the Rivers State High Court ruling that nullified the APC’s congresses in the state.
Speaking during a press briefing on Sunday, December 22, Okocha suggested bias in the court’s decision.
The APC chairman claimed the presiding judge, Justice Godswill Obomanu and Givernor Fubara hail from the same Opobo community.
“In fact, he [Fubara] is the person behind this macabre dance. He is not even a member of the PDP but is busy meddling in APC affairs. Instead of causing confusion, he should focus on getting himself back into the PDP register.”
Okocha added that:
“The judiciary in Rivers State is now a supermarket where the governor goes to buy judgments. Cases are assigned at his whim. This manipulation is damaging the state’s judiciary.”
