Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, has strongly rebuked Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, for gifting cars and houses to judges. Falana's criticism comes amidst concerns that such gifts could compromise the impartiality of the judiciary.

According to Falana, Wike's actions are unacceptable, especially considering the governor's ongoing court cases. "You have cases in court… you can't be gifting cars or houses to judges who are going to determine your cases," Falana said.

The lawyer's statement highlights the potential conflict of interest that arises when politicians shower judges with lavish gifts. Such actions can undermine the integrity of the judiciary and erode public trust in the justice system.

Falana's criticism of Wike's actions has sparked a wider debate about the relationship between politicians and the judiciary. The incident has raised concerns about the potential for political interference in the justice system and the need to safeguard judicial independence.

Femi Falana's rebuke of Governor Wike's actions serves as a timely reminder of the importance of upholding the integrity of the judiciary. As the debate continues, one thing is clear: the independence of the judiciary must be protected at all costs.
