South-south Governors Ask CJN Onnoghen To Shun CCT by Ecstasy154(m): 9:12pm On Jan 13, 2019 |
Five out of six governors of Nigeria’s South-South have come in defence of Chief Justice Walter Onnoghen. The governors at an emergency meeting in Abuja on Sunday said the move to prosecute the top jurist for alleged asset declaration infractions was vindictive and persecutory, and should be condemned by lovers of democracy. The governors consequently prevailed on Mr Onnoghen not to appear when the trial opens at the tribunal on Monday morning. The governors at the meeting were Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa, who chaired it at his guest house in Maitama, Abuja, Nyesom Wike of Rivers, Ben Ayade of Cross River and Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom. The meeting began at about 4:00 p.m. and ended with a communique shortly after 7:30 p.m. The governors declined to take questions from reporters despite earlier promise in the announcement that there would be a press briefing after the closed-door meeting. Governor Ifeanyi Okowa was not present, but his spokesperson told PREMIUM TIMES it was due to flight delays and he had sent a message that the outcome of the meeting would be binding on him. Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State was absent and did not disclose a representation. He is the only governor of the ruling All Progressives Congress from the six-state South-South, the remaining five belong to the Peoples Democratic Party. The governors are the latest to express outrage about the scheduled trial of the Cross River-born Mr Onnoghen, following a petition filed to the Code of Conduct Bureau by a civic group led by a man with previous ties to President Muhammadu Buhari. Details shortly. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/305545-south-south-governors-ask-cjn-onnoghen-to-shun-cct.html 22 Likes 3 Shares |

They are right! No sitting judicial officer can be tried without recourse first to the National Judicial Council. That is the ruling of the appeal court. And it is yet to be set aside!! Only lunatics will support show of shame by Buhari. 93 Likes 6 Shares |

With the way the PDP stalwarts are politicizing this CJN matter, Onnoghen may have no other option than to eventually step down because they've effectively compromised his position. 29 Likes 1 Share

Wrong move by the SS governors. That wouldn't be good for his image as the representation of the symbol of justice in Nigeria. These governors should not set a precedence. He should rather appear and defend himself to show a certain leader what it means to respect the rule of law. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Cursed be the day that Buhari became Nigeria's democratic president! Cursed be any zombie who still votes for this enemy of our national unity and prosperity! Nigeria is at the verge of an unending civil crisis/war. Unfortunately, zombies are dogmatically cheering that fossil up while he leads us on the path of shame, disintegration and destruction. NB: Only intelligent nairalanders should quote me. Cursed be any zombie that quotes me. 22 Likes 3 Shares |
