APC chieftain in Ebonyi State, Chief Egwu Chima, has come out to say that the negative words directed at the Supreme Court over its recent Imo State judgment are unnecessary.

Egwu, an ex-Commissioner for Information and Orientation in the state revealed this during an interview with newsmen on Tuesday, in Abakaliki.

According to the APC man, the noise and attacks directed at Nigeria’s apex court are not the best for the judiciary system in the country.

He begged those that are unhappy with the ruling to be more decent with their grievances because protests are not right for democracy.

His words, “The law court and the judiciary remain the bastion for democracy,’

“I consider the latest protests and ongoing outbursts in social and conventional media on the Imo governorship election as an orchestrated action to ridicule the judicial system.

“The negative reaction to the judgment will only portray judiciary in bad lights in the international community who constantly follow events in Nigeria.

“I see the action as blackmail, if not checked may affect future decisions and opinions of jurists in similar situations.”

“The apex court jurists see what ordinary legal minds cannot see and take a deeper understanding and reasoning to comprehend their decisions.

“I believe that what happened in Imo is unanimous decision by the jurists to right the wrong by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) electoral officials.”
