Prince (Dr) Akpo Mudiaga Odje, Constitional lawyer and Facilitator of the Niger Delta Democratic Union (NDDU) has assertted that Governor Nysome Wike of Rivers State is not in the touch line of Progressive democracy for describing   financial autonomy for judiciary  as   unrealistic .

  Dr Akpo Odje Who contended further said : " With a profundity  of respect ,I totally disagree with Wike.I can only say that the implementation may run contrary to our governance style , but that does not make it unrealistic."

Speaking further he explained: ".1n fact financial autonomy for the judiciary is even more realistic now than ever before.Once a law is passed ,it ought to be implemented and not obfuscated by governance style."


.He maintained that the judiciary specially requires immediate financial  autonomy like it's counterpart ,the legislature.stressing that .the hard nut for the governor's to crack in this matter ,is how to relinquish their control of the capital expenditure of the judiciary to the judiciary and also to do  same to legislature.

Dr Odje emphasized that the issue is a big bone in their throat because  as of today ,it is the Governor's that build  Infrastructures and capital developments of the judiciary and the legislature as well as also for itself ,the executive!! 

This practice he noted is fiscal gluttony to say the least.

He added:.  "allow the judiciary to build  our Courts, financial autonomy is the way forward." ,he concluded
