The Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, will be swearing in the members of the various 2019 election petition tribunals on Saturday, January 26.

The CJN said this through his media assistant, Awassam Bassey, on Friday.

Mr Onnoghen also described as absolute falsehood, the media reports that he resigned his office, following current allegations against him.

In a statement sent to PREMIUM TIMES by Mr Bassey on Friday, the CJN urged Nigerians to disregard the rumour and added that he is still performing his role as CJN.

“There’s absolutely no truth in the rumours making the round that the Hon. Chief Justice of Nigeria, His Lordship Hon. Mr. Justice Walter Samuel Nkanu Onnoghen, GCON, has resigned his office. It is fake news!

“The Hon CJN was in the office all through yesterday (Thursday) and sat in court. As part of his duties, the Hon CJN will be swearing in members of the 2019 National Assembly, Governorship & State Assembly Election Petition Tribunals tomorrow (Saturday 26th January 2019),” the statement said.

Mr Onnoghen is facing trial over alleged false asset declaration brought against him by the Code of Conduct Bureau.

The Attorney General, Abubakar Malami has also requested that Mr Onnoghen resigns from office, following the various allegations.

The case, currently ongoing at the CCT was adjourned till January 28.

But the Court of Appeal on Thursday ordered the tribunal to suspend sitting, pending the discharge of current applications before it.

The Court of Appeal will give its verdict on the matter on January 30.

The appeals were brought by Mr Onnoghen who wants his trial halted, citing lack of merit.

cheesy Of course the status quo remains.The CJN is not clean I know but why have the APC followed up this case with so much gusto while they failed to see to the Maina, Lawal Babachir, Amaechi, Ganduje's investigation by the EFCC etc.Hypocrites! Buhari and the hausa-fulani feudal cabal will kill themselves.

The election tribunal members set up and other electoral litigation issues that will come up after the elections are the reason FG is trying to intimidate the judges and the judiciary at large.
Before you tell me about corruption and the judges, first tell us what has happened concerning Oshiomole's case which he has been fighting to stop being probed, tell me about Babashir lawal case who happens to be Buhari's presidential campaign organiser, tell me about Maina case, tell me about Obanikoro's case and many more who are hiding behind the APC broom, tell us about Akpabio's case.
If you are sincere to yourself, then you will see there is more to the judges intimidation than the corruption fighting smokescreen you are seeing.

Is it not shameful and demonic that the anti-corruption government of Buhari and APC are now the ones going about bribing Nigerians with bags of rice and Tradermoni to buy votes?

Nigerians are indeed stupid(including the educated zombies) and deserves the kind of evil leaders they get.

Oh my dear country. We obviously have two set of laws; one for the previledged and the other for the common man but what is more painful is that it's the common man that often blindly & quickly take side with these so called "priveledged" to pervert justice and create the "two edged law" indirectly.
Let me state this clearly to all who care to listen; corruption have no tribe, no religion, no party and no colouration... And unfortunately, that is our no. 1 problem from which all other challenges can be solved easily when we decide to join hand together and fight that cancer ♋ that's killing our dear country.
