Since the CJN cannot do the needful honorably then the man of integrity can show him way out.

Baye Buhari, you just made my day.

These is so funny before insulting Buhari ask your self if the cjn agreed to the charge of false assets declaration the answer is yes he did he said he forgot to declare some accounts,coming from a chief judge that’s a big fat lie because he is suppose to know more than any body and he was saying the rest was due to negligence,he was one of the judges in the buhari/year Adua case and declared yar adua the winner when even a 10 year old boy knows there was no election all the judges held in the last raid with large sums of money all pointed in his direction and he used his influence to clear all cases..am from the south,these is not tribalism it’s common sense, if GEJ would have removed jega then we wouldn’t be having these discussion if you are not courageous enough it doesn’t mean others aren’t

Like I have said in previous threads, Buhari has throw the nation into a serious constitutional crisis which could snowball into questioning the very existence of this nation. It is the most stupid decision ever taken by a head of state that I can remember.

And I support groups and states to reject the authority of the President. He has by this very act lost legimacy in my view. An impeachment procedure should also start forthwith. Hopefully, this stupidity would not lead to severe violence- that's one thing am against.

We must not allow th is to stand. If we do, we are done.
I never took the assertion that a cabal is running this country seriously till I watched the clip of the kangaroo swearing in...

Buhari is a captive to these irredentist forces who do not care whether Nigeria go up in flames...

The cabal must have given him security and situation report after his misadventure of a presidential campaign in the South East yesterday...

They have punished him to go for broke as his humiliation at the polls is imminent...

Muric and other Muslim organizations must stand up to defend this new CJN against the hypocrisy of we southern Christians. When GEJ suspended CBN governor Sanusi, we Christians laughed and said nothing to condemn the move all because he was exposing GEJ's corrupt government. Now Buhari has suspended this thief called onnoghen and every Christian is spilling thrash. We Christians are indeed a problem in this country. In my next life i will be a Muslim sad

Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos

The Southern and Middle Belt Leaders forum
has described the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Walter Onnoghen by President Muhammadu Buhari as a coup against constitutional democracy.

In a statement signed by Chief E K Clark (South South), Ayo Adebanjo (South West), Chief John Nwodo (South East) and Dr Pogu Bitrus (Midddle Belt), the leaders in a statement titled ‘Constitutional Crisis As Buhari Illegally Suspends CJN’ , the leaders said they have checked through the constitution and found out that President Buhari lacks the power to suspend the CJN unilaterally except by 2/3 of the National Assembly.

The statement reads: “The attention of Southern and Middle Belt Leaders has been drawn to a coup against Constitutional Democracy in Nigeria by President Muhammadu Buhari by the Suspension of CJN Walter Onnoghen this evening and swearing in a replacement.
This is a constitutional crisis foisted by desperation and morbid desire to foist rule of thumb.

“We have checked through the constitution and the President has no power to unilaterally suspend the CJN.

“Section 292 of the amended 1999 Constitution is clear that the President can only remove the CJN with 2/3 of Senate resolution.

“To us what has been done is resort to self-help after the Court of Appeal issued an order stopping the trial of the CJN by the CCT presided over by a man answering charges in court over corruption allegations but still in office.

“The latest action is a clear suspension of the constitution and enthronement of full blown dictatorship.

“We reject the illegal suspension and demand its immediate reversal.
The suspension is null and void and of no effect whatever.

“An emergency meeting of the Forum holds shortly on this total aberration.
We call on all Nigerians to wake up to the reality that our democracy is now under threat and use all constitutional means to defend it.

We must not surrender to this authoritarian rule.”

Any Southern Leader that's not happy with the descision should protest and feel how tear gas hurts in the eye and nostril. Or feel how it hurts to be shot.

Chest beating from remote corners


If you not happy, go to court.

His Excellence President Mohammadu Buhari (GCFR) has made his stance clear.

Can we truly say... your senses are intact?


when we see illegality, let us call it the right name


no one says the CJN can't be tried


but why do it in an illegal way


is this truly a man of integrity?



is this what the law says?

Jamesspeck007:
Moreover, while it did not say whether the CJN can also be removed on the order of a court – the CCT in this case, the interpretation act, chapter 192, seems to also empower the president to remove who he has appointed. Section 11 of the act states: “Where an enactment confers a power to appoint a person either to an office or to exercise any function, whether for a specified period or not, the power includes: a. power to appoint a person by name or to appoint the holder from time to time in a particular office, b. power to remove or suspend him, c. power to reappoint or reinstate him; to appoint a person to act in his place, either generally or in regard to specified functions.”

If the constitution or any law is ok with this then there's really no separation of power.

Hahaha.

Everyone must enjoy this CHANGE.

This is just a tip of the iceberg. Wait until after his re-election when he has no more need for campaign.

Nigerians love to thread the path of greatest resistance. I have confidence in Buhari's ability to tighten the noose.

Oh. Tinubu will not be spared either. Ask Dino how far. The pain and suffering started earlier than anticipated. I am enjoying it.
