The decision of President Muhammadu Buhari not to forward the name of Walter Onnoghen, Acting Chief Justice of the Federation (CJN) to the Senate for confirmation after he had been duly recommended for the job by the National Judicial Council (NJC), and cleared by the Department of State Services (DSS), was deliberate, Nigerian Times investigation has revealed.
Nigerian Times sources in both the Presidency and the DSS, disclosed that contrary to insinuations that President Buhari did not forward Justice Onnoghen’s to the Senate because he received the recommendation late and was still mulling it over by the time the tenure of the immediate past CJN lapsed, he actually did not forward the name to the Senate because he did not want to.
A Presidency source told Nigerian Times that President Buhari is determined to cleanse what he feels is the rot in the judiciary and he feels the Supreme Court is the best place to start.
According to the source, the president is thinking of setting aside the age old convention of picking the oldest serving judge after an outgoing CJN to replace him. This has been the norm for over four decades and was what the NJC relied on to forward Onnoghen’s name to President Buhari for onward transmission to the Senate for confirmation.
Onnoghen having appointed to the Supreme Court in 2005, is currently the most senior in terms of longevity at the hallowed court.

That's his usual. It is the system that endures his actions. We are foolishly following to our detriment.

When he started with the Customs Service and was applauded or rather no one cares to ask even our 'learned Gentlemen' he must stretch forth to others.

That word, 'Outsider' is a scam. He just want to appoint a Muslim possibly from North.

The title of this news is misleading.....
I actually thought Buhari was just about to appoint a foreigner......
