Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, has accused the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), of instigating unnecessary tension in the State over the appointment of a Chief Judge.
Wike said this during a reception organized by the state government in honour of the retiring Chief Judge of Rivers State, Hon. Justice Adama Iyayi-Lamikanra, in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.
He berated the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria, JUSUN, for embarking on a Stike action when the Judiciary is enjoying financial autonomy in the State.
He said there was no basis for JUSUN, to have joined the national strike as the issues in contention do not apply to the State.
The Governor, warned that if JUSUN, fails to call of its strike by the end of this month, the government would have no option but to implement the prevailing law on no-work, no-pay.
He stated that the State is not unaware of the so-called agreement among the Federal Government, the Governors Forum and JUSUN.
He further explained, that an implementation committee will not be set up in the state, because it is unecessary.
