Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara says he will never call any judge to do what is wrong because he expects them to be bold in standing up for the truth and restore hope in the Judiciary.
Fubaraz said this while swearing-in eight new judges at Government House in Port Harcourt, Today.
He urged the judges to do what is right at all times, adding that his administration will sustain its support to the Judiciary to ensure that they do not lack anything to enhance their work.
He said, “So, I am not going to ask you for anything, and I know that I have never called anyone of you here to ask for anything. Discharge your duty with the fear of God. I am saying it here, I will never call any of you here or even the older ones there to go and do what is wrong. Stand for what is right, and that is the only way God will elevate you; that is the truth.
“There is a line in our new national anthem that says ‘a country where no man is oppressed’. You are supposed to be at that balance. When anybody calls you for something that is not just, you ought to have the boldness to tell the person: this is not right, and I am not going to do it.
“My message is simple: do what is right, defend the course that you stand for, justice and equity.”
