BREAKING: EU ‘very Concerned’ Over CJN Onnoghen’s Suspension by iphedhayhor(m): 4:19pm On Jan 26, 2019 |
The European Union has expressed deep concerns over the process and timing of the suspension of Justice Walter Onnoghen as Chief Justice of Nigeria. The European Union Election Observation Mission on the Nigeria 2019 General Elections in a statement on Saturday by Press and Public Outreach Officer, Sarah Fradgley said the suspension raises the question of ‘whether due process was followed’. Recall that President Muhammadu Buhari suspended Onnoghen on Friday and appointed Justice Ibrahim Tanko Mohammed as CJN in Onnoghen's stead. The EU calls on all parties to follow all legal processes in line with the constitution of the country. The statement read: “The European Union was invited by the Independent National Electoral Commission to observe the 2019 general elections. “The EU Election Observation Mission (EU EOM) is very concerned about the process and timing of the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Honourable Justice Walter Onnoghen, on 25 January. ALSO READ: BREAKING: US embassy in Nigeria expresses concerns over Onnoghen's suspension “With 20 days until the presidential and National Assembly elections, political parties, candidates and voters must be able to have confidence in the impartiality and independence of the judicial system. “The decision to suspend the Chief Justice has led to many Nigerians, including lawyers and civil society observer groups, to question whether due process was followed. The timing, just before the swearing in of justices for Electoral Tribunals and the hearing of election-related cases, has also raised concerns about the opportunity for electoral justice. “The EU EOM calls on all parties to follow the legal processes provided for in the Constitution and to respond calmly to any concerns they may have. “The EU EOM will continue observing all aspects of the election, including the independence of the election administration, the neutrality of security agencies, and the extent to which the judiciary can and does fulfill its election-related responsibilities.” READ HERE: https://www.tribuneonlineng.com/186663/ 34 Likes 9 Shares |

This illegality must be roundly condemed and not allowed to stand. Nigeria's democracy is critical to Africa as a whole. If Nigeria goes down, the entire African continent will be affected. That is how strategic Nigeria is to Africa. 245 Likes 18 Shares |

Those taking the dullard on this suicidal mission will soon dump him halfway. Even Lair Mohammed was cautious with his statement today putting everything on Buharis doorsteps. The CCT man is gone, same as Abubakar Malami and the Usurper Justice Tanko Mohammed can also kiss the chance of ever becoming CJN after CJN Walter Onnoghen bye bye. Good to know Osinbajo is still a cunning little man, and that's why he will never give his opinion on this rape on the Judiciary, neither will Fashola or even the talkative Keyamo. Buhari is clearly on his own. 202 Likes 15 Shares |

Yoruba desperation for power in 2023 is making them support everything wrong from buhari. I have this feeling that after onnoghen, osinbajo will be next. Something tells me el rufai is seriously warming up to take osinbajo's position after the 2019 election. 149 Likes 13 Shares |

I have noticed that Nigerians are very ignorant on the unassailable power of the constitution so you hear them make very ignorant statements like " this should not be allowed to stand " "This must be reversed " but in reality and in the presence of the sacred constitution "NOTHING HAPPENED" !!!!! as Buhari neither has the power to niether select the CJN nor replace him nor sack him or suspend him so in reality there is nothing to reverse here as Buharis action is totally ultra vires and as such the Status quo is the reality , a reality where Justice Onnoghen remains CJN till something constitional happens . The questions doubting zombies should ask themselves are: 1 : Can the Senate President suspend the President? 2 : Can the CJN suspend the President? 3: Can the President suspend the Senate President? 4 : Can the CEO of MTN suspend the CEO of Airtel? 5: Can you suspend who you didnt employ and who doesn't work for you? If your answer to any of the above is No then you should know Buhari is wrong. What options does Buhari have now? As it stands Buhari has just 3 options and they are : 1 : Respect the constitutional status quo 2: Beg Onnoghen to resign and then lobby the NJC to nominate Tanko . 3 . Lobby the NJC to recommend Onnoghen for removal and submit to the National assembly to vote on. anything outside this is a stranger to our constitution and thereby null and void!!! 190 Likes 25 Shares |

Shove your concern up your ass. Onnoghen should go to court to dispute the illegality of his suspension, while at it... He should also clear the case of how he a civil servant got $900,000 and why he forgot to declare it. 4 Likes 3 Shares |
