the question should be if the accused is guilty as charged

this is further proof that Buhari knows that he stands no chance in the face free and fair elections backed by the rule of law!!!! In their Bid to release fake brazenly altered result and then use operation python dance to force helpless Nigerians to accept the result the evil cabal have realised that the Judiciary headed by the current CJ might be a stumbling block in legitimizing the fake results and so hence this stupid plot to remove him but this time Buhari will embarass himself

Nigerians don't just comment on nairaland fight for a better life so you don't die in a motor accident, kidnapped robbed or die in ill equipped hospital. Ways you can fight:
1. Sue Buhari, APC, INEC to court.
2. Vote with your pvc
3. Take charge of INEC, demand to witness vote collation.
4. Organize formal peaceful protests across major cities.
5. Demand designations or referendums. Did you know you can cause an impeachment?

You can just complain on nairaland or you can stand up and fight!!!

A Clarion Call In Defence Of Our Constitution
I have received the news of the sudden charges about to be filed against the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, with apprehension and suspicion especially as such a move against the head of an arm of our government is coming so close to an election in which the Buhari administration has shown growing desperation.

My suspicions are further exacerbated by the fact that the Buhari government is pressuring an independent and self governing arm of government with the aim of getting CJN Walter Onnoghen to resign or be pushed aside.

I stand on the side of the rule of law and believe that a person is innocent until proven guilty and note that a media trial is no trial.

If Justice Walter Onnoghen is guilty of the charges about to be preferred against him, let his guilt be determined by a competent court of law and not by the Buhari administration. The executive cannot usurp the role of the judiciary. Nigeria is still a democracy and not a fascist dictatorship as President Buhari may wish.

Any attempt to force Justice Walter Onnoghen to vacate his office, 4 weeks to an election for which the unpopular Buhari administration has shown every intention to manipulate, is a move pregnant with negative meaning.

I see no reason whatsoever for the ongoing pressure by the Buhari government to force Justice Walter Onnoghen to vacate office when he has not been convicted for any offence.

Nigerians may recall that this government has a history of manipulating the law against the heads of arms of government it considers unfriendly to its cause. A case in point is their malicious prosecution and persecution of the Senate President, Distinguished Senator Bukola Saraki.

I therefore call on the President to respect the principle of separation of powers and abide by the rule of law on this matter and stop any interference or pressure on Justice Walter Onnoghen or the judiciary and allow the law and the constitution take its full course.

Vice President of Nigeria, 1999-2007

Election or no election, governance continues.

What Atiku/PDP should be asking: Is the CJN guilty as alleged?

As is stands now, the constitution is strictly adhered to. You can't charge the CJN without presenting a petition.

All we are seeing now are the game plan of Buhari to rig the 2019 elections. From appointing his close associate Yakubu Mahmood as INEC Chairman, who has in turn helped to sneak in Amina Zakari into sensitive electoral position to announce the fake results he will forward to INEC.

Buhari already knows the Attorney General of Nigeria Abubakar Malami is his stooge. So he wants to remove the CJN Walter Onnoghen through using faceless fronts writing baseless petitions.

His next target will be the legislature to make sure any opposition to the fake results he will announce next month is totally silenced.

Nigerians should remain undeterred by Buhari's antics. He has failed in delivering any of his promises and will fail in his illegal attempt to remove the Chief Justice of Nigeria.
