Buhari is an animal!

Lol. Issokay

The Lion of Daura. Another four years awaits you in Aso villa.

Wait until he comes back for his second term, you Southerners will see the real Buhari. The Buhari we warned you against in 2015.

stephleena:
.
U could join him as well. . shove it in neatly

It can serve as a pad for you, nobody enjoy the monotony of rascality in a civil atmosphere

This is a first in Nigeria history. Changing a southerner for a northerner as CJN is the height of nepotism under this administration. CCT cannot recommend the suspension of a CJN or Senate President.
This is impunity

Anybody that thinks this statement comes from Buhari wasted is a joke

Some wailers are waiting for one of their Ogas to come up with the most puerile of arguments so they can begin to echo it.



Mumus think for yourselves.

This is crazy!

Hogwash!

Buhari wrote that article up there?
I bet he can't even comprehend the write-up

Forgetfulness, SMH and you forget the disability bill was on Your desk. PMB is a colossal failure . This was done so that they can control the Election tribunal

As the drama unfolds, Nigeria as a Nation suffers.
Well, when a taboo last too long, it becomes a custom
Since we are so used to corruption (taboo), we now consider it as a way of life (custom)

Thats my president .

Wailers iyalaya yin. Pdp chief judge had the offer to resign honourably and enjoy his loot. he choose the path of wike and co. He should go and explain to CCT why he forget to declare account worth $900k

Below is a full transcript of President Muhammadu Buhari's speech on the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Nkanu Onnoghen.

"Fellow Nigerians,

A short while ago, I was served with an Order of the Code of Conduct Tribunal issued on Wednesday 23rd January 2019, directing the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Honourable Justice Walter Nkanu Samuel Onnoghen from office pending final determination of the cases against him at the Code of Conduct Tribunal and several other fora relating to his alleged breach of the Code of Conduct for Public Officers.

2. The nation has been gripped by the tragic realities of no less a personality than the Chief Justice of Nigeria himself becoming the accused person in a corruption trial since details of the petition against him by a Civil Society Organization first became public about a fortnight ago.

3. Although the allegations in the petition are grievous enough in themselves, the security agencies have since then traced other suspicious transactions running into millions of dollars to the CJN’s personal accounts, all undeclared or improperly declared as required by law.

4. Perhaps more worrisome is the Chief Justice of Nigeria’s own written admission to the charges that he indeed failed to follow the spirit and letter of the law in declaring his assets, citing ’’mistake’’ and ’’forgetfulness’’ which are totally unknown to our laws as defences in the circumstances of his case.

5. One expected that with his moral authority so wounded, by these serious charges of corruption, more so by his own written admission, Mr. Justice Walter Onnoghen would have acted swiftly to spare our Judicial Arm further disrepute by removing himself from superintending over it while his trial lasted.

6. Unfortunately, he has not done so. Instead, the nation has been treated to the sordid spectacle of a judicial game of wits in which the Chief Justice of Nigeria and his legal team have made nonsense of the efforts of the Code of Conduct Tribunal to hear the allegation on merit and conclude the trial as quickly as possible considering the nature of the times in which we live.

7. Whether deliberately or inadvertently, we have all seen the full weight of the Chief Justice of Nigeria descend on the tender head of one of the organs of justice under his control. There is simply no way the officers of that court, from the Chairman to the bailiffs, can pretend to be unaffected by the influence of the leader of the Judiciary.

8. Not only the trial court, but others have been put on the spot. Practically every other day since his trial commenced, the nation has witnessed various courts granting orders and counter-orders in favour of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, all of them characterised by an unholy alacrity between the time of filing, hearing and delivery of judgment in same.

9. The real effect has been a stalling of the trial of Justice Onnoghen, helped along by lawyers who insist that these orders, whether right or wrong are technically valid, and must be obeyed till an appellate Court says otherwise. No doubt, that it is the proper interpretation, but is it the right disposition for our nation?

10. Nigeria is a constitutional democracy and no one must be, or be seen to be, above the law. Unfortunately, the drama around the trial of the Chief Justice of Nigeria has challenged that pillar of justice in the perception of the ordinary man on the street. For it is certain that no ordinary Nigerian can get the swift and special treatment Justice Onnoghen has enjoyed from his subordinates and privies in our Judicature.

11. In the midst of all these distracting events, the essential question of whether the accused CJN actually has a case to answer has been lost in the squabble over the form and nature of his trial. This should not be so.

12. If Justice cannot be done and clearly seen to be done, society itself is at risk of the most unimaginable chaos. As a Government, we cannot stand by wailing and wringing our hands helplessly but give our full backing and support to those brave elements within the Judiciary who act forthrightly, irrespective of who is involved.

13. As you are all aware, the fight against corruption is one of the tripod of policies promised to Nigerians by this administration. Needless to say that it is an existential Policy which must be given adequate attention and commitment by all the three arms of government. The efforts of the Executive will amount to nothing without the cooperation of the Legislature and especially the Judiciary.

14. It is no secret that this government is dissatisfied with the alarming rate in which the Supreme Court of Nigeria under the oversight of Justice Walter Onnoghen has serially set free, persons accused of the most dire acts of corruption, often on mere technicalities, and after quite a number of them have been convicted by the trial and appellate courts.

15. Since there is nothing the Executive Arm can do after the apex court of the land has spoken on any matter, several of these individuals walk free among us today, enjoying what are clearly the proceeds of the corruption which for so long has defeated the efforts of this nation to develop and prosper.

16. It is against this background that I have received the Order of the Code of Conduct Tribunal directing me to suspend the Chief Justice pending final determination of the cases against him. It also explains why I am not only complying immediately, but with some degree of relief for the battered sensibilities of ordinary Nigerians whose patience must have become severely over-taxed by these anomalies.

17. In line with this administration’s avowed respect for the Rule of Law, I have wholeheartedly obeyed the Order of the Code of Conduct Tribunal dated 23rd January 2019.

18. Accordingly, I hereby suspend the Honourable Mr. Justice Walter Nkanu Samuel Onnoghen, GCON as the Chief Justice of Nigeria pending final determination of the case against him at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.

19. In further compliance with the same Order of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, I hereby invite Honourable Justice Ibrahim Tanko Mohammed JSC, being the next most Senior Justice in the Supreme Court, to come forward to take the Judicial Oath as Chief Justice of Nigeria in an Acting Capacity.

20. Fellow Nigerians, we can only stand a chance to win the fight against Corruption, and position our dear nation for accelerated development when we stand together to contend against it.

Thank you and may God bless our country.

Buhari cabal, who do you think you are fooling in this CJN matter?

Well I'm guessing this thread is gonna be a very long one.
But in the end, it will be all talk and nothing will happen ....as usual.
The old bloke has made his decision.

Good but he must always be seen as unbias

tanko is the next in line of seniority just like onnoghen was when the previous judge finish his tenure

Buhari and his cabal have completed their coup against the judiciary preparatory to the February 16 electoral heist. CJN Onnoghen was the only man standing in their way. They have shoved him aside. Now they have a subservient Northern Muslim CJN to protect and uphold their putative rigged victory and to appoint friendly judges to oversee electoral cases arising from the election.

Onnoghen was to inaugurate electoral tribunal members tomorrow. The cabal struck to derail that plan. Now, their man, the acting CJN, will appoint the tribunals. This is a coup. Buhari wants that destroy that country to secure his second term. Where is the outrage?

Rubbish!

The cabal has spoken.....barely a month to election and this happens. Give it up 4 9ja mehn. Drama has become the norm in Fraud Lugard's entity.

It.is finished, Onoghen is a Gonner.

deboysben:
Oga chop shit
Wetin happen to the ones accused of corruption
What did you do?
I urge saraki to impeach this nemesis called buhari It's now or never

lol...saraki impeach buhari....because saraki is now two third of senate....wake up

I like buhari but must say the truth, why the suspension please. some people have taken over his goverment. this is bad

This is what GEJ did to Salami then.

Well done Mr. President!

Oh menh where is this thunder na, come and fire president, burn him to ashes. .. Chai we southerners don suffer, another aboki.l again?

That’s the height of Nigerian shenanigan, the earlier we wake up and unite against this berated word corruption the better for us.

Above alone is enough to sack the CJN to serve as deterrent to others. Judges are supposed to be the last hope of Nigerians, but when they compromised, then the country is doomed.


Mr. President, you have our support. Corruption cannot kill us
