Lawyer and rights activist, Ebun-olu Adegboruwa, has dragged President Muhammadu Buhari and five others to the Federal High Court in Lagos over the non-confirmation of Justice Walter Onnoghen as the substantive Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN).


The Vice-President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, the Senate, the National Judicial Council, Hon Justice Walter Onnoghen and the Attorney-General of the Federation were joined as co-defendants in the suit.


In the suit, Adegboruwa is asking the court to direct the President, and in his absence, the Vice-President, to forthwith forward the name of Hon Justice Walter Onnoghen to the Senate for confirmation as the CJN.


He is equally seeking for an order of injunction to restrain the President and the Vice-President from appointing another candidate for presentation to the Senate, for the office of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, apart from Hon.

Justice Walter Onnoghen, who is the most senior justice of the Supreme Court and who has already been selected and recommended by the National Judicial Council (NJC).


Adegboruwa also wants the court to stop the Senate from accepting, entertaining, deliberating upon or considering the nomination of any other candidate that may be forwarded to it by the President and the Vice-President, apart from Hon Justice Walter Onnoghen.

In an interview with PUNCH, Prof Kperogi rubbish buhari's intergrity

Prof Farook Kperogi : "Perhaps Buhari never had any integrity to start with. It was our desperation for a hero that caused us to dress him in borrowed robes.

What man of integrity would lie that he took a bank loan to buy his presidential nomination form while two of his children were enrolled in a United Kingdom university?

What man of integrity would have a multimillion-naira house in Abuja but lied that he had modest houses only in Daura, Kaduna, and Kano?

What man of integrity would be afraid to publicly and transparently declare his assets after promising to do so?

What man of integrity chooses to be the sole signatory to his presidential campaign’s bank account to which millions of poor, struggling Nigerians donated tens of millions of naira and not give an account of how he spent the money?

What man of integrity perpetually surrounds himself with corrupt people and, worse still, defends their corruption?

People who are intimate with President Buhari told me several months ago in the heat of my unrestrained enthusiasm over his emergence as president that he was morally and temperamentally unsuited to fight corruption.

They said the undue premium the president places on ‘personal loyalty’ causes him to ignore, excuse, and even defend the corruption of his close associates. I was regaled with troubling tales of the mind-boggling corruption against close, loyal aides that he swept under the carpet at the PTF (Petroleum Trust Fund), The Buhari Organisation, and at the defunct CPC (Congress for Progressive Change).

They say likes attract. You can’t be a man of integrity and continually surround yourself with corrupt people. I can go on; but it is obvious that Buhari isn’t the man of integrity he has been alleged to be.
