Diri, who also frowned at the last week’s disruption of proceedings in the Bayelsa State High Court 3 presided by Justice Aganaba, said the treatment resulted to the judge by the opposition party members was “most unfortunate”. Information Guide Nigeria
The governor’s spokesman, Mr Daniel Alabrah, in a statement quoted Diri as cautioning politicians against desecrating the hallowed temple of justice and the judiciary, saying the courts remain the last hope of the common man.
In his words: “We are all gathered to celebrate a man that has given his all to Bayelsa and Nigeria. I have known him before the creation of Bayelsa State as a man who loves his people and his state. He exhibits that at every given occasion. He is a true son of Bayelsa and Ijawland; a very fearless and incorruptible judge”. jamb results
“I like to use this occasion to call on politicians to respect judges and the judiciary. Why do we have to put Bayelsa State negatively in the media by storming a court?
“I always advise that we eschew politics of bitterness. We must at all times stand with other organs of government, the judiciary in particular, and ensure that it continues to be the last hope of the common man”.
“My brother, Justice Aganaba, you came, you saw and conquered. We hope this will not be your last service to the state. We are proud of you.”
