Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has described closure of courts in the state for nearly two years by the immediate past administration of Chibuike Amaechi as coup against the judiciary. He regretted that Nigeria is the only country where persons, who violate the sanctity of the third arm of 

government go unpunished.

“There will be bad administration if there is no good governance. What is good governance? There cannot be good governance if it is not predicated on the rule of law and due process. Who can you actually accuse of bad administration? We came to this state in 2015. There was no court.

“There was a coup against the third arm of government. It is only in Nigeria you can stage a coup against the judiciary and go free. Nobody can stage coup against the judiciary in any developed society and go free. You can never. You deny people liberty, you deny them access to justice.”
