Senator Ben Murray Bruce has attacked Former Minister and Ex-Presidential candidate, Oby Ezekwesili over her criticism of President Muhammadu Buhari over the recent suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen.

He accused her of contributing to this development adding that she was shedding crocodile tears because she had fallen out with the President. He wrote;

"Dear @obyezeks, you supported @MBuhari when he started his war against the judiciary in 2016. On this same Twitter, I warned you and others like you that if you praised him then, you are only encouraging him to do worse. You contributed to this Oby".

"You clapped in 2016 when the war against the judiciary began. Today, because you have fallen out with the tyrant you are shedding crocodile tears? Have some decency and save what is left of your tattered reputation. People like you brought us to this point with your gullibility."

let us see what his remaining members will do on Twitter since plenary have been suspended till after the presidential election

politics is a game, in fact, a "rough" game that must be played within the law. I don't know if there is sinister motive behind Onnoghen's suspension but whether there is or not, the Buhari camp with the help of Onnoghen himself has played within the law.
1. the law that vested right on Buhari to appoint CJN also vested on him the right to suspend the same person and also the right to appoint another person to act in his capacity. go and read Nigerian Law interpretation act.
2. the suspended CJN by his position is not expected to be found wanting or claiming ignorant of certain portion of Nigerian law or declared himself not sound in mind(Forgetfullnes)
3. Onnoghen has a written acknowledgement, admitting that he is rightfully accused but sighted forgetfulness which is not recognize by law as excuse.
4. Before the politicians get you into shouting what you don't understand, Onnoghen has only been suspended not sacked

Now let's look outside the law
1. Assuming that Onnoghen is from Kaduna, Katsina or even Kogi and a case like this comes up and he admitted and Buhari decides to retain him, will Nigerians especially those from the East in particular give their support and praise to Buhari for keeping him?
2. finally before you criticize Buhari, remember the Kemi Adeosun's case. ignorance was not taken as excuse then why now.

I disagree with the senator on his poor ascertion against Madam Obiageli about the clamp down on corrupt judges in 2016.
Infact, let the clampdown continue, the judiciary need to be sanitized and free from the hand of Wike

This useless twitter senator again?

True

We saw this in 2015 but many decided to act without their brain

Tyranny can never suppress the will of the people.
Buhari must go

is it amazing how PDP carry this matter for head like gala? The man suspended is the CJN of Nigeria, not any party, why e dey pain PDP so much? then the allegation must be true that the CJN is a PDP member and the money he forgot to declare was bribe from wike and co.


The CJN is on trial, and he will still be the one to appoint judges to defend himself, is that fair? can he appoint Judges that will be against him? the best thing he should have done is to resign instead of this embarrassment, but I guess the money paid into his account upfront is worth the embarrassment.


And it should be noted that the CJN is to form/inagurate the election tribunal today, how can Pro-PDP judge inaugurate non partisan judges, we all know that's not possible, I am sure this is part of the Dubai strategy and am glad PMB beat them to the game, no wonder PDP are crying fowl. I think they should just boycott the election instead of suspending only the campaign. Goof riddance to rubbish.


The lifeless one turn to the tyrant one, may God confuse your enemy as ipob pigs.


And last last, Buhari will still win this election and nothing will happen, I repeat nothing will happen, just tell those that want to protest or shut down the country to go ahead, we are all moving to the next level, and millions of Ipob pigs and PDP won't stop us.


To the progressives, we will this Battle, no place for criminals, including those in APC, Ganduje, bachir etc will be dealt with at the appropriate time, u can't fight everyone at the same time, no matter how little, u need some people beside u.


God bless APC
God Bless Buhari/Osinbajo
God bless Nigeria

CJN is clearly PDP. Fear don catch them all. As for that OBY woman, she's simply a useless ashawo sleeping with Obasanjo for political position.

Heheheh!!.....its the buhari effect

twitter sinator should kip kwayet!!!

now I know why them no give you ticket

Mumu senator

This is so unnecessary from Ben Bruce. Even if he was right, even if Oby supported him then, so she cant go against him again?

Mumu Twitter Senator.
No common sense at all....



NOTHING REMOVED, NOTHING ADDED, straight from Daddy's mouth......strictly for the lovers of Nigeria, not for CRIMINALS and criminals at heart!


Fellow Nigerians,

A short while ago, I was served with an Order of the Code of Conduct Tribunal issued on Wednesday 23rd January 2019, directing the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Honourable Justice Walter Nkanu Samuel Onnoghen from office pending final determination of the cases against him at the Code of Conduct Tribunal and several other fora relating to his alleged breach of the Code of Conduct for Public Officers.

2. The nation has been gripped by the tragic realities of no less a personality than the Chief Justice of Nigeria himself becoming the accused person in a corruption trial since details of the petition against him by a Civil Society Organization first became public about a fortnight ago.

3. Although the allegations in the petition are grievous enough in themselves, the security agencies have since then traced other suspicious transactions running into millions of dollars to the CJN’s personal accounts, all undeclared or improperly declared as required by law.

4. Perhaps more worrisome is the Chief Justice of Nigeria’s own written admission to the charges that he indeed failed to follow the spirit and letter of the law in declaring his assets, citing ’’mistake’’ and ’’forgetfulness’’ which are totally unknown to our laws as defences in the circumstances of his case.

5. One expected that with his moral authority so wounded, by these serious charges of corruption, more so by his own written admission, Mr. Justice Walter Onnoghen would have acted swiftly to spare our Judicial Arm further disrepute by removing himself from superintending over it while his trial lasted.

6. Unfortunately, he has not done so. Instead, the nation has been treated to the sordid spectacle of a judicial game of wits in which the Chief Justice of Nigeria and his legal team have made nonsense of the efforts of the Code of Conduct Tribunal to hear the allegation on merit and conclude the trial as quickly as possible considering the nature of the times in which we live.

7. Whether deliberately or inadvertently, we have all seen the full weight of the Chief Justice of Nigeria descend on the tender head of one of the organs of justice under his control. There is simply no way the officers of that court, from the Chairman to the bailiffs, can pretend to be unaffected by the influence of the leader of the Judiciary.

8. Not only the trial court, but others have been put on the spot. Practically every other day since his trial commenced, the nation has witnessed various courts granting orders and counter-orders in favour of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, all of them characterised by an unholy alacrity between the time of filing, hearing and delivery of judgment in same.

9. The real effect has been a stalling of the trial of Justice Onnoghen, helped along by lawyers who insist that these orders, whether right or wrong are technically valid, and must be obeyed till an appellate Court says otherwise. No doubt, that it is the proper interpretation, but is it the right disposition for our nation?

10. Nigeria is a constitutional democracy and no one must be, or be seen to be, above the law. Unfortunately, the drama around the trial of the Chief Justice of Nigeria has challenged that pillar of justice in the perception of the ordinary man on the street. For it is certain that no ordinary Nigerian can get the swift and special treatment Justice Onnoghen has enjoyed from his subordinates and privies in our Judicature.

11. In the midst of all these distracting events, the essential question of whether the accused CJN actually has a case to answer has been lost in the squabble over the form and nature of his trial. This should not be so.

12. If Justice cannot be done and clearly seen to be done, society itself is at risk of the most unimaginable chaos. As a Government, we cannot stand by wailing and wringing our hands helplessly but give our full backing and support to those brave elements within the Judiciary who act forthrightly, irrespective of who is involved.

13. As you are all aware, the fight against corruption is one of the tripod of policies promised to Nigerians by this administration. Needless to say that it is an existential Policy which must be given adequate attention and commitment by all the three arms of government. The efforts of the Executive will amount to nothing without the cooperation of the Legislature and especially the Judiciary.

14. It is no secret that this government is dissatisfied with the alarming rate in which the Supreme Court of Nigeria under the oversight of Justice Walter Onnoghen has serially set free, persons accused of the most dire acts of corruption, often on mere technicalities, and after quite a number of them have been convicted by the trial and appellate courts.

15. Since there is nothing the Executive Arm can do after the apex court of the land has spoken on any matter, several of these individuals walk free among us today, enjoying what are clearly the proceeds of the corruption which for so long has defeated the efforts of this nation to develop and prosper.

16. It is against this background that I have received the Order of the Code of Conduct Tribunal directing me to suspend the Chief Justice pending final determination of the cases against him. It also explains why I am not only complying immediately, but with some degree of relief for the battered sensibilities of ordinary Nigerians whose patience must have become severely over-taxed by these anomalies.

17. In line with this administration’s avowed respect for the Rule of Law, I have wholeheartedly obeyed the Order of the Code of Conduct Tribunal dated 23rd January 2019.

18. Accordingly, I hereby suspend the Honourable Mr. Justice Walter Nkanu Samuel Onnoghen, GCON as the Chief Justice of Nigeria pending final determination of the case against him at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.

19. In further compliance with the same Order of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, I hereby invite Honourable Justice Ibrahim Tanko Mohammed JSC, being the next most Senior Justice in the Supreme Court, to come forward to take the Judicial Oath as Chief Justice of Nigeria in an Acting Capacity.

20. Fellow Nigerians, we can only stand a chance to win the fight against Corruption, and position our dear nation for accelerated development when we stand together to contend against it.

Thank you and may God bless our country.




This is why President MUHAMMADU BUHARI is the best President in the history of Nigeria.
He explained everything in details to the nation, cos he knows we deserve an explanation, a dictator will not mind who is wailing or wants to jump into the lagoon
Mr Hashim along with children of hate and perdition , OYO!

Oby is one hell of a confused person,not knowing where to stand again.

we must also have a law that will stop installation of Emir where traditionally doesn't belong to the emirate

this is a very critical issue , they killed Kaduna South king because they want to install Emir in Kaduna South where majority are Christians, that is one of the thing causing problem in this Nigeria, how can you be planning to install Emir in Jos? it's like trying to install Emir in Lagos, why install seriki in Sagamu? Na Hausa land? Buhari people should respect their host or we should just divide this country

may be its high time we start having Alafin of Kano, Alafin of Sokoto also

Hmmm..
