Popular activist the President of One Love Foundation and the Father of Nigerian Students-FONS; Chief Dr. Patrick Eholor has shown his gratitude towards the reopening of the two High Court that was earlier closed by the Obaseki led administration.
In a conference with the Journalists then, Eholor condemned the act before the Governor, Godwin Obaseki concurred and agreed to repent by opening the courts.
Eholor in his statement today with the Journalists says
"Let me use this platform to appreciate the Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, the Chief Judge of Edo State, Justice Acha and the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court for the restoration of the Federal High Court Benin which has been closed down since March 1st 2023. Like I said in my letter of appeal to the Edo State Government few weeks ago, the Federal High Court is a special Court which is affecting a lot of lives and properties, Edo cannot afford to lose the presence of the court due to flooding problems."
Dr. Patrick as well appreciated lawyers who agreed and supported him during this work:
"I also appreciate lawyers especially my friend Barrister Pius Oiwoh, former Chairman of the Lion Bar whose letter of appeal I read with interest and passion. Barr. Ogbankwa also on it. I believe with this development the Police, EFCC, NDLEA and other security agencies will no longer be carrying suspects to Warri and Asaba.
