Former Chief Magistrate in Rivers State, Ejike George, has explained his recent resignation from the state judiciary, stating he was not trained to take orders from a military administrator. He made this known during Thursday’s edition of Politics Today on Channels Television. “I am simply saying that I cannot take instructions from a military administrator. I cannot,” he said. The former Magistrate berated the president’s decision, saying that there was no crisis in Rivers State to have warranted the suspension of Fubara and others as well as the introduction of military-style rule. “It is not fair to the people of Rivers State. My reason for resignation is simply because I cannot adapt to the military style of adjudication that would be introduced by the reason of the sole administrator. “As a magistrate, our courts are courts of summary jurisdiction. Our proceedings are not guided by the constitution of this country. That being the case, it means that I would take directives from my employer who is the Chief Judge of Rivers State. “We, in turn, take some level of directive from the governor; that would have been the elected governor who had acted as the chief security officer of the state. “I am simply saying that I cannot take instructions from a military administrator. I cannot. In the entire 16 years that I served with the Rivers State Judiciary, I have taken instructions from civilian administrators. I do not know how I am going to adapt and now begin to take instructions from a military administrator. I find it very strange,” he stated.
