Port Harcourt, the Rivers state capital witnessed a flurry of political activities Thursday as anti-Governor Chibuike Amaechi protesters took to the streets in reaction against the amendment of the state High Court Law.

The state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) also said it rejects the new law, insisting that it is unconstitutional and politicisation of the judiciary.


This came as students and youth leaders in the state said Amaechi was on the right track in fighting what they described as impunity of the National Judicial Council (NJC) in appointing Justice Daisy Okocha as administrative judge of the state.

The protesters, mostly members of the PDP and Grassroots development Initiative (GDI) grounded business activities around the Judiciary Complex and adjoining roads, insisting that Justice daisy Okocha should be allowed to head the state judiciary.
