Re: Osinbajo Sends Onnoghen’s Name To Senate For Confirmation As CJN by KanwuliaExtra: 10:27am On Feb 08, 2017
IS NIGERIA NOW A FAILED STATE?

MISSING PRESIDENT

145 of 1999 Constitution:

"Whenever the President transmits to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives a written declaration that he is proceeding on vacation or that he is otherwise unable to discharge the functions of his office, until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary such functions shall be discharged by the Vice-President as Acting President."

When traveling in January, Gen Muhammadu Buhari PERSONALLY transmitted a letter to the National Assembly, notifying them of a SPECIFIC TEN DAYS VACATION, which ended on February 6, 2017. This letter was duly read and became part and parcel of the Votes and Proceedings of the National Assembly.

The president did not return on February 6 as he promised but he has purportedly taken an extended vacation, on ground of ill health, through a letter they was said to have been transmitted to the National Assembly. That "letter" has not been seen by anyone, in order to determine its authenticity and its real author.

The "letter" has not been READ ON THE FLOORS of either Chambers of the National Assembly, to make it part of its Votes and Proceedings. In effect, the legal capacity of Professor Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, ends midnight February 6, 2017.

Somehow, as if acting out a clever script, the Senate had hurriedly adjourned it sitting to February 24, ever before the "letter" for an extended vacation arrived. So legally, the "letter" is cooling somewhere in the National Assembly, just another letter, without any force of law. A letter transmitted to the National Assembly MUST BE READ at the plenary session to become binding.

So, by February 7, 2017, there will be no President or Acting President.

Prof Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, is from the Southern part of Nigeria.

MISSING CHIEF JUSTICE

Section 231(5) of 1999 Constitution:

"(5) Except on the recommendation of the National Judicial Council, an appointment pursuant to the provisions of subsection (4) of this section shall cease to have effect after the expiration of three months from the date of such appointment, and the President shall not re-appointment a person whose appointment has lapsed."

On November 9, 2016, the Hon Jus Mahmoud Mohammed, CJN, retired as the Chief Justice of Nigeria. The National Judicial Council recommended but the President ignored the choice of Hon Jus Walter Onnoghen, JSC, as Chief Justice of Nigeria, but proceeded to swear him in Acting capacity for three months. Until he traveled for his ten day vacation, the President did not forward the nomination of Hon Jus Walter Onnoghen to the Senate, for confirmation as substantive Chief Justice of Nigeria. Up until the time that the tenure of the Acting President will expire this night, he did not forward the name and so he cannot do so after tonight.

The tenure of the Acting CJN will lapse on February 10, 2017. As of this night, the NJC has not met to consider recommending Hon Jus Onnoghen for renewal as Acting CJN. The NJC cannot do this after February 6, 2017, as there will be no President or Acting President, to receive such recommendation.

Hon Jus Onnoghen is from the Southern part of Nigeria.

MISSING SENATE

The President of the Senate is facing multiple trials, bordering on failure to declare his assets. If he is convicted, he would have to step down as Senate President.

NOW THE KNOTTY QUESTIONS:

1. So where are we?
2. Has the Nigerian nation failed?
3. Are we being tricked or taken for a ride by some people?
4. How come the sudden adjournment of the Senate?
5. Was somebody aware prior to today that the president will not arrive this week?
6. Is this all a game? If so, who are the players and who are the spectators?
7. Who singed the letter for extended vacation?
8. In the absence of a substantive Chief Justice of Nigeria, what is the fate of the judiciary?
9. Who is that in charge of the affairs in Nigeria presently?
10. Must we all sit down and tolerate all these nonsense?

You may add your own questions and keep adding them until we get the answers.

Nigeria we hail thee!

GOD BLESS HER CITIZENS....

Fantastically-CORRUPT!!!! grin

Let us hope things go faster before Buhari returns from his sick leave.

Do you seriously think that the Acting President will take this kind of major decision without clearing with the President and getting his approval first?

The same ediots that keep quiet when Christians are subjugated in the North, killed mindlessly without any protection. I have lost faith in Fulanis, nobody will ever vote them again except their brothers. Northern votes will always be shared between Christians and Fulanis, in the south here they get zero vote. I hope Yorubas have learnt their lessons once and for all.

Even though South fight one another, they regroup when they are needed most.

Your ilk are so bigoted that you immediately look for ethnic or religious connotation in happenings.

So it is the Yorubas that should learn their lessons simply because they voted along the same lines with the Notherners, but the South Easterners and South South that have been perennial Hausa companions since the 1959 elections are now to be praised abi? As usual with you guys, you assume history started in 2010.

BTW, the cabinet of the present Government has a larger percentage of Christians, that is verifiable.

Call me what you want, the world is moving towards self preservation. You see Brexit, Trump election, etc.Google Frexit , France will vote a nationalist next election, pull out of EU and ban countries supporting Terrorism like Trump is doing. Enough of political correctness. Non violent Muslims should rise up and stop terrorism, else the world will leave both the calm and violent ones behind. It is coming, it has begun.

Considering the fact that I was originally responding to a comment that was deregatory towards people from the South East, I find your comment somewhat out of point.

And even then, we should be concerned about how well political appointees do their job, and not their tribes.And in this case, the CJN appointment was always going to come from the South.

You and your ilk talk unintelligently, yet you accuse others of illiteracy. You claim to know what's happening more than 800 km away, yet you have never stepped beyond the boundaries of your enclave. Christians are subjugated in the North, really? Where did you pull that invidious statement from? I'm sure my Christian neighbours would be laughing at your online bigotry. Clap for yourself!

Let me even ask you a question: Eyo Ita (HOCS), Pastor Nguru Nguru (Min. of Niger Delta Affairs), Victor Ndoma Egba (Chairman, NDDC), Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas (CNS), and Onnoghen (Ag. CJN), are all from Cross River State. They are all Northern Fulani Muslims, right?

Ignorant thinking . Even if everybody in the north votes for a particular candidate and every southerners votes for a candidate, the northern candidate will win ........... in other words the south can't do it alone. Why do you think even PDP zoned their presidential candidate to the north. Wake up the northerner is not your enemy but partner in progress. If you think Yorubas regret voting PMB you are wrong. The only people who are now regretting NOT voting for PMB are the easterners

I agree with you that it is a routine decision.

My post was targeted at those who have spun a conspiracy theory of ethnic bias around the delay in the CJN's confirmation.

They are trying to make it look like the Acting President took the decision to initiate the confirmation of the CJN in defiance of the absent President.
