The @OfficialPDPNig rejects in its entirety, the attempts by President @MBuhari to foist an illegal Chief Justice on the nation while the substantive CJN, Justice Walter Onnoghen is still in office.


The @OfficialPDPNig firmly holds that such impunity cannot stand, as Nigeria is a nation governed by law and not by the whims and caprices of a dictatorial leader. President @MBuhari wants to ruin our country and we will never allow him.

Nigerians must reject the incendiary move by President @MBuhari to forcefully suspend our constitution, annex the judicial arm of govt. and open the nation up for full-blown totalitarianism to achieve his self-succession bid, having realized that he cannot win the 2019 election

President @MBuhari’s action in attempting to unilaterally appoint a Chief Justice and foist him on our country is a direct invitation to anarchy, national confusion and a monumental crisis capable of derailing our democracy and destroying our corporate existence as a nation.

It is now clear to the world that President @MBuhari, in his selfish self-succession bid, is out to cause mayhem in our nation and truncate the smooth conduct of the 2019 election, not minding the consequential human and material losses.

There can be no 2 CJN. Our constitution is clear on how a Chief Justice is appointed and removed as such does not lie on the prerogative of the President. As such, we urge all Nigerians and the international community to recognize only Justice Walter Onnoghen as the CJN

We invite the international community and particularly the @WhiteHouse and the @10DowningStreet to note that this assault on the judiciary is geared towards subverting the 2019 general elections & as such immediately list President @MBuhari and APC leaders for proposed sanctioned

PDP wants to take over the Functions of The President of the Federal Republic Of Nigeria...

Why not appoint Onnoghen your legal adviser?

Ndi Ara!

"..However, findings have also shown that it has correlation with the lingering Guber case in Kebbi state and the sudden need by the federal government to oust the CJN.

Based on the current travails of the CJN, the composition of the appeal panel was done without the full knowledge of the nation’s number one judicial officer. It is alleged that the kebbi state government in collaboration with the Attorney General of the Federation Abubarka Malami SAN, are gunning for the CJN due to his hard posture on upholding the tenets of the law and ensuring the independence of Judiciary.

The panel has Hon. Justice Ibrahim Tanko Mohammed as Chairman, a close friend of the first defendant in the case who is also the Governor of the state, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar Bagudu. The friendship between the duo dates back several years.

It has been gathered that the plaintiff has made a formal complaint to the Chief Justice of Nigeria and having known his strict disposition on judicial issues, sources said that this was not going down well with the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubarka Malami SAN, whom is alleged not favorably disposed to the CJN taking charge of the Kebbi Guber tussle, and hence the need to put the CJN on trial, which will eventually pave way for a favorable environment for the panel to deliver her judgment.

As its now the battle ground is charged between Onnoghen and Kebbi mafia whic is described to include the AGF, the Gov Kebbi State, Chairman Code of Conduct and the prosecutor of the CJN at the CCT who are all said to be indigenes of Kebbi State bent on removing the CJN in order to ensure that Bagudu is not removed as the Governor by the Supreme Court as all efforts to settle the case out of court through monetary inducement to the appellants have been rebuffed.

The Gov who influenced the selection of the Supreme Court panelists have as of Sunday in kebbi been celebrating victory song that he has scaled through the Supreme Court even before the hearing of the appeal.

The intrigues in the guber case have seen several influential persons from Kebbi state in the executive and judicial arm of government taking sides with the Kebbi State Governor. The later, having served in the top echelon in the judiciary as a former chief registrar of Supreme Court and a current serving judge of Federal High court, Abuja. Sources said that the former apex court registrar is also from Kebbi state has been serving as a link person in the “deal”.

The leadership of kebbi state judiciary through an appointment of a substantive Chief Judge has been in limbo for a while because the Governor has interest in appointing his crony over and above the current acting CJ who by seniority is supposed to be the substantive as recommended by NJC. The governor Bagudu is therefore drawn on a long battle of wits with the CJN and the NJC supported by his APC and the Attorney General of the Federation who is also from Kebbi.

Meanwhile, sources closed to the inner caucus in Governor’s camp said that there was a wild jubilation last weekend when the list of the appeal panel came out. According to the source, the believe that the “deal has been done”

It would be recalled that the plaintiff in the matter Mr. Anthony Itanyi is claiming that Governor Abubakar Atiku Bagudu of the All Progressive Congress (APC) committed perjury by lying under oath in the form he submitted to Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) prior to 2015 governorship election in Kebbi State.
