Make una quote wetin una like, Buhari has messed up bigggg timeeee!!!

Mumu. U no read d C part?

Even though the interpretation act gives the president the power to suspend the CJN, PMB acted based on a very clear order of the CCT. The president cannot refuse to obey a valid court order. Onnoghen should go to court to challenge the order if he’s aggrieved.

What about power to appoint based on recommendation and confirmation by other independent bodies?

#thebuharieffect y'all

Are you just trying to be mischievous or outrightly stvpid?

No Act of Parliament supercedes the Nation's Constitution. Whereas there is a conflict between a section of an act and the constitution, the provisions of the Constitution overrides the act.

Extremely ignorant, chap feeling funky.

Did you read what you posted here. I mean properly.

By the way, do you undertand what the constitution is and why any other law is null and void to the extent of their inconsistency with the constitution

Afriifa:
Mumu. U no read d C part?

Mumu section c says

(c) power, exercisable in the manner and subject to the limitations and conditions (if any) applicable to the power to appoint,-

In brackets says IF ANY.

There is no limitation given to the President when it comes to SUSPENSION.

The limitation given to him is when it comes to REMOVAL

Osyxcel:
What about power to appoint based on recommendation and confirmation by other independent bodies?

Jonathan relied on the interpretation act to suspend Sanusi despite the fact that he doesn’t have the constitutional power to remove him. People like pachukwudi44 who are crying now supported that illegal action because it was politically expedient at that time.

Buhari should just swear himself in as president on Monday

A lot of you are ignorant and understandably so. The constitution is valid on the grounds of a removal and not on the grounds of a suspension.

In this regard there is no limitation placed on the President in terms of suspension. He is only limited in terms of removal.

That is the legal loophole taken advantage of and it is extremely legal to exploit since he by law did not Remove but also by law, Suspended

man shut it.. U lack intellectual interpretation of the above.

So ri e pe sha

Between the Appeal Court and the CCT, which is senior?

Does the CCT have such powers?

Tetehjewels:

really? Are you a Lawyer?

If you are not being mischievous, you'll realize that this act says "power" to remove or suspend. The power here is not absolute for the president especially if there are laws which are spelt out in the constitution for removal. If we are to follow your logic, then it can be said that since the president can only be elected by popular vote, then he can only be removed by popular vote. This we all know is not true since he can be impeached by the national assembly subject to the Chief Justice's committee, or by a proclamation of the FEC. In other words, it has been clearly spelt out here that the process of suspension OR removal should be the same as clearly spelt out in the constitution.

I used to think that APC supporters were fools. But I didn't know that there were this docile.

What sort of foolish defence is this? Buhari did not appoint the CJN. He merely nominated him and the senate confirmed him.

The CCT does not have such powers to order the suspension of the CJN. Buhari and his co-presidents in the presidency are just being clever by half

Afriifa:

You clearly are not since you never bothered to take into consideration every expression as laid down in what you tried to argue against

You are speaking nonsense.

Can the President suspend a sitting Governor?

let me see how smart you truly are. What law in the constitution states that Jonathan CANNOT remove a CBN governor?

But isn't that order a breach of court processes since a higher court had already stopped the action of the lower court?

Buckubuck:

The CCT has the power to order a suspension for an offence directly under their jurisdiction. Where it does not have the power is when it comes to ordering A REMOVAL
Our constirution stops at the door of a removal and not a suspension

There is a very clear line of explanation showing who is responsible for ordering a REMOVAL which is the NJC but not a suspension.


However same legality does not place any form of restriction on the president when it comes to ordering a suspension.

nameo:

I can see you are unaware of the immunity clause shielding governors.

Does the CJN enjoy same immunity shield?

Oga the definition of suspension is temporary removal.

naijapips04:

I really don’t need to validate my smartness before you but for record purpose, the CBN act provides for how the CBN governor can be removed.

NothingDoMe:

The CCT order remains valid until the court of appeal sets it aside. As at today, there is no court of appeal order setting aside the order of the CCT.

Buhari is the best Nigeria President.

You need to look into the mirror and see how foolish you are.

The NJC recommends, The President Appoints while the senate Confirms.

Read mine and read yours and call yourself a fool

For those saying suspension is not removal

NothingDoMe:
Oga the definition of suspension is temporary removal.

It is not.
