His words, “The hurried, belated and strange appointments by the outgoing administration of Owelle Anayo Rochas Okorocha designed to frustrate the incoming government of the governor-elect, Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha has been brought to the notice of the Imo State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, Imo State.”
“This latest attempt by the outgoing governor who has inflicted untold hardship on Imo people to appoint his cronies as members of the Imo State Judicial Service Commission barely two months left in its administration, is one case too many.
“It’s on record that Governor Okorocha has supervised the monumental decimation and destruction of all institutions of governance in the state since assuming office.
“This latest attempt is in furtherance of the series of lawless and reckless actions by the outgoing administration calculated at imposing a heavy burden on the new administration.
“The Imo State PDP hereby condemns this move as it is a political tool, calculated to impugn on the independence and sanctity of the judicial arm of government in Imo State”, he said.
Continuing, the party scribe noted that the Judicial Service Commission being the body responsible for appointment, discipline and welfare of Imo State judicial officers should not be used as a tool for a hurried compensation or patronage to friends and cronies as parting gift by an outgoing government.
He recalled that the outgoing administration has an ignoble record of arbitrarily abusing the tenure and smooth operation of the JSC while in office pointing out that just last year the governor illegally sacked the leadership of the Commission which he appointed and appointed new members before the expiration of the tenure of the serving members.
