Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN) has accused opposition leaders in Rivers and Akwa Ibom states of bastardizing the judiciary.
He was reacting to allegations against Transport Minister, Rotimi Amaechi, by two embattled Supreme Court justices, said Amaechi attempted to compromise their judgments on election petitions.
“This sudden anti-Amaechi narrative is consistent with the objectives and interests of the chief promoters and funders of judicial corruption during election petitions. These powerful opposition politicians are well known. To be more specific, they are from Rivers and Akwa Ibom states.
“They are the ones who financed judicial corruption and brought that great institution, the judiciary, to its knees, after the 2015 elections.
“These allegations are intended to undermine and weaken the Buhari-led Federal Government by depriving it of the service, input, ideas and productivity of some of its brightest stars.
“This is intended to set the stage for charging the government with ineffectiveness and cluelessness. In other words, it is an attempt to reduce the image and perception of this Federal Government to the low level of their own late and unlamented government.”
He then advised the judges to use their time to prepare for their trial instead of engaging in frivolities.
