Wike’s wife unfit to be judge, her sense of judgement compromised – APC chieftain, Eze

• His remarks are not unconnected to a recent interview granted by Wike where he claimed that Dame Judith, the wife of Amaechi, was collecting the sum of N4 million monthly to train Rivers women. 

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has questioned the rationality and legality behind having Eberechi Wike, wife of Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), as one of the justices of the Appeal Court.

Eze, a staunch ally of former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi, said Wike’s wife cannot be trusted to do the right thing and deliver impartial and unbiased judgment in litigations involving her husband because her sense of judgment is compromised.

His remarks are not unconnected to a recent interview granted by Wike where he claimed that Dame Judith, the wife of Amaechi, was collecting the sum of N4 million monthly to train Rivers women.

Wike vowed to resign if the report of forensic audit on the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, does not indict Amaechi’s wife.

Speaking on Wike’s revelation, Eze said Wike does not have the moral authority to castigate Amaechi’s wife owing to the questionable and untenable position of his wife as an appeal court justice.

“In his futile attempt to castigate Amaechi’s wife who had genuine dealings with the NDDC, one is forced to ask whether Wike’s wife is fit for the exalted position of a Judge which she holds given that sleeping daily in the same room and on the same bed with a character like Wike will definitely affect her sense of judgement in the delivery of justice. The business of the Court is a noble one and the background of a Judge shapes his/her sense of judgement,” he said.

Eze blamed Amaechi, saying the former Rivers Governor made the greatest error in his political journey by encountering Wike and assisting him to be a Local Government Chairman, appointing him as his Chief of Staff, and recommending him for a Ministerial appointment.

“As Governor, Wike’s biggest legacy is the destruction of all major policies and projects set up by Amaechi’s government for the betterment of Rivers State and her people. The Agricultural set-up that would have taken care of the food challenge currently facing Nigerians was destroyed, the educational sector and scholarship set up by Amaechi to make Rivers State a hub for human development was destroyed by Wike,” he said
