The Nigeria Bar Association in Rivers State and the Body of Senior Advocates of Nigeria yesterday visited newly appointed Acting Chief Judge of the state, Justice Peter Agumagu, and expressed their support for him, saying his appointment was in accordance with the Constitution.

Agumagu’s appointment had sparked a controversy as the state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party and some lawyers have questioned the rationale behind his choice as a replacement for the immediate past chief judge of the state, Justice Iche Ndu.

The two bodies hailed his appointment by the state Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi and pleaded with him to sustain the healthy relationship they enjoyed with his predecessor, Justice Iche Ndu.
