The National Judicial Council (NJC) has again overruled the Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma on the appointment of Chief Judge for the State’s Judiciary, directing him to immediately inaugurate the most senior Judge in the state into the office.
The Council insisted that the Governor must act in line with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to resolve the judicial logjam he created on the appointment rather than using his own whims and caprices .that are contrary to the laws of the country
