For the governor, the judiciary in discharging its constitutional duty as the last hope of the common man, must live above board to continue to earn the confidence of the people.
Speaking on behalf of other newly sworn in Judges, Justice Mary Njoku assured that they will dispense justice without fear or favour.
Governor Uzodinma at the event donated ten SUVs to the newly sworn in judges to aid them in performing their jobs of deligently dispensing justice.
