The APGA gubernatorial candidate who had contested the governorship election of Delta State since 2003 till date lamented the scenario.

He said he left the Court because there was no independence in the judiciary.

While noting that the Supreme Court had held that the nation continues to use the old currency, Chief Ogboru said the executive behaved as if there is no order by the Supreme Court as it continues to flout same.

He noted when the judgement of the Court is not respected, it is an “infringement” on the judiciary.

Chief Ogboru stressed the need for a functional and independent judiciary in the State.

According to him, “I believe there should be independence in the judiciary”.

He insisted that there should be financial autonomy and independence as well as checks and balances for the judiciary.

He said without the separation of powers, there will only be tyranny in the State.

While pointing out that some of the Courts in Delta State are in very bad and dilapidated condition, Chief Ogboru said if we must dispense justice in a conducive environment, the Courts must be well-equipped and staffed and remunerated.

He said good and adequate housing must be provided for public officers, especially judges.

He noted that the judges face a lot of challenges on a daily basis because they are not able to pay rent outside adding that “The environment where you stay will affect your work”.

Chief Ogboru also said lawyers should be fearless as well as speak to power on behalf of the judges and others in the State.
