Rivers State Governor Rt. Hon. Chibuike
Rotimi Amaechi has expressed shock over the demise of Justice
Kayode Esho.
In a statement by his Spokesman Mr.
David Iyofor, Governor Amaechi described Justice Esho as an accomplished
jurist, a rare breed of uncommon wisdom and sharp intellect who always stood on
the side of the law and what is right.
Amaechi hailed Justice Esho’s enormous
contributions to the growth of Nigeria’s legal and justice system and the good
work he did as a justice of the Supreme Court.
“Justice Esho was a man of uncommon
virtues. His work in the Apex Court would not be easily forgotten. Most
important to us here in Rivers State was his commitment to the Rivers State
Truth and Reconciliation Commission(TRC) which he chaired, contributing to the
return of peace and sanity in the state.”
“We are particularly grateful for the
thorough and comprehensive work he did at the TRC. Rivers people hold him
dearly and will always remember him for that,” Amaechi said.
The governor condoled with the Esho
family, the judiciary and the entire country over this great loss, and prayed
for the repose of his soul.
