Governor Godwin Obaseki has been urged to stop deceiving Edo Indigenes, because the Judiciary in Edo State is not financially autonomous, according Chief Patrick Eholor.
Chief Eholor, who is the President of the One Love Foundation and a Human Rights Activist, in a press statement in Benin asked the Governor to come out clean and tell Edo People the truth on Financial Autonomy for the Judiciary, as the facts on ground did not align with the Governor’s assertion that the Judiciary in Edo State is financially autonomous. He wondered why the Governor and his aides would be claiming financial autonomy for the Judiciary, when they know that the State Chief Judge could not even afford to employ anybody.

Jusun Strike, Access To Justice And The Imperatives Of Judicial Autonomy
For about two weeks now, courts all over the country are under lock and key. On April 6, judicial workers under the aegis of Judicial Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) embarked on an indefinite nationwide strike to push for the implementation of financial autonomy for the judiciary.

Truthfully, the lingering closures of our courts and the failure, neglect and refusal of the authorities to implement financial autonomy for the judiciary have far-reaching implications that should give all patriots a cause to worry.
