The Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) has Nyseom Wike, will be sworn in as Governor of Rivers state come May 29th if the state is still without a chief judge.

THE Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) has said that the ‘Doctrine of Necessity’ will be applied to swear-in the next governor of Rivers State, if Governor Chibuike Amaechi fails to appoint an acting or substantive Chief Judge by May 29 2015.

There has not been a substantive Chief Judge of Rivers State since retirement of Justice Ichechi Nwenenda Ndu, in August, 2013.

Amaechi had brushed aside the National Judicial Council (NJC)’s recommendation of Justice Daisy Okocha and gone ahead to appoint Justice Peter Agumagu, then President of the Customary Court of Appeal, who has since been suspended by the NJC.

In another development, the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission has announced that it will conduct Local Government election on May 23, 2015.
