One of Nigeria’s senior lawyers, Mike Ozekhome, has called for a total shutdown of courts across the country to protest President Muhammadu Buhari’s “onslaught against the judiciary.”

Mr. Ozekhome also urged Nigerians to defend the nation’s democracy, adding that a strong judiciary is one of the fundamental platforms for any meaningful constitutional government.

According to him, the Buhari administration is setting the stage to scuttle the nation’s democracy by using strong hand and brute force.

He argued that the government has been consistently intolerant of dissenting voices and had invaded the homes of judges, laid siege on the National Assembly and the residences of Senate president and his deputy.

“It is clear that this government, which protects its own members, however corrupt and despicable, has blown into full maximum dictatorship, totalitarianism and absolutism. Nigerians must say no to fascism,” Mr. Ozekhome stated.

“The latest onslaught is against the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Nkanu Onnoghen, a man of great nobility, erudition and lucidity of thought.

“It has come to light that the government has hurriedly filed charges against Onnoghen, even with a motion (most curiously and unusually), that he should recuse himself from his Chief Justice-ship until the case filed against him is finally determined by the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).

“This is to force him out of office. The phoney and ridiculous charges are that Onnoghen failed to declare his assets and that he also maintains domiciliary accounts, contrary to the provisions of the Code of Conduct Bureau Act,” Mr. Ozekhome said.

He insisted that the charges are political, and designed to intimidate the judiciary ahead of the 2019 presidential election and force out Justice Onnoghen, who, as the CJN, will constitute the Presidential Election Tribunal that will entertain disputes arising from the election.

According to him, many facts support the theory including that the petitioner, committed the Freudian slip by anchoring the petition on “bearing in mind the imminence of the 2019 general elections and the overwhelming role of the judicial arm both before and after…”

The second fact, he said is even after the recommendation of Mr. Onnoghen as CJN by the NJC on October 13, 2016, it took Vice President Yemi Osibanjo to appoint him as CJN on March 1, 2017.

He said the appointment followed outrage by a majority of Nigerians, and at a time the president was abroad on medical vacation.

The third fact is Justice Onnoghen became the first Southerner to be made CJN in 30 years, after the last Southerner, Justice Ayo Irikefe, occupied that exalted office in 1987.

The nicest people tend to often be the ones who have been mistreated the most.

The head of the country’s judiciary cannot be prosecuted while in office until he is oust by the National Judicial Council which must take the decision if the judicial officer is found wanting after its investigation brought against any judge.

Zai baba wants to destroy every gain of democracy and zombies are edging him on to his own destruction.

So, because Onnoghen is the first Southerner to be CJN in 30 years, he must be allowed to be corrupt and trample on our constitution?

The idiots who called for Kemi Adeosun's head for mere NYSC certificates are the same dunces who want Onnogen who has admitted "to forget" to declare his assets (a bank account that has over $700,000 in it) be left alone.

Now I understand why Sarathief was cleared with the speed of light by this corrupt Justice.

If na because of this case una wan burn Nigeria, please go ahead.

Buhari is a brain dead Lifeless man that must be stopped.

The dullard is ready to soak the dogs and baboons in blood all for power.

If the Lifeless is this desperate pre election, Nigerians should imagine the carnage post election, when the dullard must have been roundly defeated.

Judiciary failed to do their work. Now, he is tasting from bulharis cup of dictatorship.

Grest

Nairalanders you all should be careful when dealing with people.

This dude called Nobelus Cabral scammed me of 800 euros two weeks ago. He promised to pay back by 27th of December when he gets his Paycheck by December 27th but when it was time to pay he blocked me on Facebook, and blocked my 3 numbers on WhatsApp.


The dude reside in Georgia USA and he's feeling that there's nothing that can be done to get him down.
The Internet is a world of its own when I'm done tarnishing this fraudster image he will sure get deported.

My aunt tried sending the money to me to Nigeria through western union but it always get cancelled so i decided to use this dude in USA and agreed he was going to credit me directly to my Naija account after pick up which he agreed and i even told him to take 15% and send the rest. This greedy idiot took everything and blocked me, i still can't believe nobelus would do such to me, money meant for my parents i can't even sleeping with at home again without my dad using words to hurt me and call me demeaning names like" Hungry thief" ur mates are working and you are stealing money your sister is sending to us.

Nobelus you will never go Scott free, never!!!

This same idiot brought a dumb lawsuit against Buhari regarding his certificate. He also used to defend kidnappers and armed robbers before kidnappers nearly killed him in Benin, that was when he learnt his lesson.

The CJN stated that he forgot to declare some accounts, account that had 700k dollars in it. Who paid monies into that account?

There's a reason Wike, Seriake and SS Governors held a meeting.

Please educate me.. Has Kemi Adeosun been prosecuted after admitting guilt a whooping 4 months after she was exposed. ..

Thanks to APC... If not for them, who else would give Us Militarized Democrazy?

APC is preparing for post election tribunal by trying to replace Justice Walter Onnoghen with Justice Tanko Ibrahim Mohammed ??
that is a wrong signal coming from APC camp !!!

he became a Judge at the Bauchi State Sharia Court of Appeal.

.

Justice Tanko was born on December 31, 1953 , now Age 66. Buhari should retired him now, the man his due for retirement.





https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibrahim_Tanko_Muhammad





at Doguwa - Giade, a local government area in Bauchi State, Northern Nigeria.
Tanko began his career in 1982, after he was Call to the bar in 1981, the same year he graduated from the Nigerian Law School. In 1989, he was appointed as Chief Magistrate of the High Court of Federal Capital Territory, a position he held till 1991 when he became a Judge at the Bauchi State Sharia Court of Appeal.

Ok

ashcall:
does mike want his client Dino to remain in police hospital ne.Or why should he be calling for the shorting down of the court with Dino still laying on the floor of security forces offices

Who's he to give such directive?

We have a full blown tyrant and a big failure in our hands.

Everybody is a thief approach works for this hopeless country.

Only God can help us...

And I say it with every sense of dignity.

PVC won't work against the emerging dictatorship

Ozekhome is one of the greatest beneficiaries of anti graft war. He should appreciate Buhari for giving him fame and money. He will forever be remembered as the defender of the corrupt and the protector of the looters.

But did ur Buhari persecute Kemi? She was meant to be handed over to the police and tried. Fake certificate is a crime..

Buhari simply wants to remove anyone that will not make his rigging plan to work and impose his own people.

FLYFIRE:

Did buhari declare his own assets?

He did

jmaine:

Did she resign?Yes or No

isn't this the lawyer that looters and thieves and embezzlers of public funds call to represent them whenever they have a case in court?
