Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki has described the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Hon. Justice Walter Onoghen by President Muhammadu Buhari, as a coup against democracy and a deliberate attempt to endanger our hard-won democracy.

PoliticsNGR gathered that Saraki, in a statement personally signed by him stated that the suspension was another act of desperation by President Buhari. He noted that by the suspension of the CJN, Buhari has acted outside the provision of the constitution, has exercised the powers which he does not have and that this action amounted to gross misconduct.

“This is an action aimed at undermtining the nation’s judiciary, subverting the constitution, intimidating judges of all the courts of record, and creating uncertainty in the electoral process, thereby laying the foundation for influencing the outcome of litigations that might arise from next month’s elections.

“There are already the general belief that this hasty action was taken to pre-empt the already scheduled inauguration of election petition tribunals by Hon. Justice Onoghen and to destroy national institutions that are perceived to be unco-operative in his bid to manipulate the electoral process leading to next month’s general elections.

“By unilaterally suspending the CJN without following the provision of the constitution, President Buhari has taken an action which amounted to gross misconduct. He has simply sent a dangerous signal to the entire world that Nigeria is no longer a democratic nation and that we have returned to the old, jaded era of military dictatorship .

“Our constitution makes no provision for suspension of the nation’s highest judicial officer. The constitution provides a clear process for removal of the CJN and specify the roles of the three arms of government, beginning from the National Judicial Council (NJC), the National Assembly and lastly, the Presidency, have different roles to play in that process. There is no condition under which the President can usurp the powers of other arms of government. I do not know where the President and his advisers got this idea of suspending the CJN on the so-called order of the Code of Conduct Tribunal but this is novel, disingenuous and alien to our laws.

“The President and his team must have seen this so-called suspension as a short-cut to getting Hon. Justice Onnoghen out of the way since the appellate court has eventually stopped the CCT from continuing with the trial of the CJN. It is strange that President Buhari is claiming to be taking orders from a Tribunal which has been ordered by a superior court to halt all actions on the trial.

“With this action, President Buhari has initiated a process the consequence of which nobody can predict. They have precipitated a constitutional crisis.

“At this point, all democratic institutions in the country, the international community and democrats across the world should rise against this blatant act of impunity. We should jointly condemn this retrogressive, uncivilized and despotic measure”, Saraki stated.

He however called on President Buhari to immediately reverse this decision and allow the due process of law to take its natural course in determining the guilt or otherwise as well as the suitability of Hon. Justice Onnoghen to continue as the head of the nation’s judiciary.

Mohamadu buhari I repeat does not have any right under the the law suspend a chief justice of the federation. The judiciary is an independent arm of the government separate from both the executive and the legislature. The President can only approve the appointment of a chief Justice but that's where his powers end concerning anything about the judiciary.
The Buffons urging this man on should know they are already planning for bloodshed which they themselves may not survive. The battle ahead is between the forces of light and darkness which the demons in APC represent. This war will consume many people including the airheads on this forum supporting this madness.
If indeed the chief justice is guilty why not follow the right way in removing him? Why this mindless desperation that would do no one no good?

DrGoodman:
Saraki should just impeach this man before he sets this country ablaze.

They should have done that long before now. The serpent they refuse to deal with is now a dragon.

Saraki can only thrive in impunity environment. How come justice has not been served on saraki's involvement in Offa robbery?

Aufbauh:
The suspension of the CJN by PMB is one of the wisest decision this administration has taken since it assumption.
Nigeria is not a Banana Republic and we can't be perpetually impeded by frivolous technicalities in obviously clear case of misconduct.

Saraki and Co can rant till thy kingdom come but the true spirit of the law will have it way.

So, an illegal suspension is a wise decision to you? Hope you won't complain when they call you a useful idiot?

What is the true spirit of law here abi una dey mad? There is no law governing what Buhari did..

The same law Buhari used to come to power and the same law he used to get cleared over his waec saga, that is what he wants to deny.

Buhari can do all he wants but must obey law. He can't be bigger than the law. We are paying him salary.

Saraki , kwara people are waiting for you, their common wealth you stole and subject them to years of untold hardship is coming against you and your entire political career.

DrGoodman:
Yorubas, una see una mistake now?

how is is gon do that pls enlighten me

Tetehjewels:


He got the powers the moment the CJN admitted to his "crime of omission" in which ignorance is not an excuse in the face of the law.

In that event he cannot be a judge in his own case. He was given the opportunity to voluntarily step aside pending the outcome of his case but he refused. He therefore had ri be suspended on those grounds.

And regarding your earlier ganduje nonsense, he has immunity now. Such an immunity not enjoyed by the CJN

even if he admits to any rubbish whatsoever. It's not in the place of the CCT or Buhari to remove him. The CJN are the only constituted authority that's been empowered by law to remove him.

Such an immunity not enjoyed by the CJN

as for this rubbish you wrote, the same constitution that has given ganduje immunity is the same constitution that has stated clearly how a CJN should be removed. You can pick and chose parts of the law to obey.

nameo:
I see the word " gross misconduct".

That is the term for impeachment.

The Senate President should begin impeachment proceeding against the President and delegitimize him if he continues on this route.

The person or persons who advised the President on this action are really a bunch of siilly foools I swear.

By the way, where is VP Osibanjo, who is supppsed to be a Law prof. Shebi he was denying the other day that Buhari did not know any thing about the arrangement of the CJN.

Senate that is on break?

You are deceiving yourself.

imam07 post=75113091[s:
]Point of correction. Buhari suspends the currupt former cjn. We are talking about currupt man here not an innocent cjn.[/s]

it cannot stand because we are simply not in a banana republic. The constitution is very clear that on how to deal with a corrupt CJN
At least we have laws that he must follow unless they first destroy the Nigeria constitution before the illegality can stand.

DrGoodman:
Yorubas, una see una mistake now?

if saraki there think of impeaching buhari dino case will be better than his case.U think buhari is Jonathan.

Do you see why I say you are just busy saying nonsense?

HE WAS NOT REMOVED. HE WAS SUSPENDED!

Stop being a mental nuisance.

I don’t think buhari take this action alone. One man cannot control the judiciary as he pleases. Let the due process be followed or risk anarchy.

DrGoodman:
Yorubas, una see una mistake now?

He can't do it. Impeachment can only work against a southern president cos the south is not united.

The only option available is anarchy. But that too is impossible, the states don't have police or army to challenge the FG.

He has broken so many laws that ordinarily would have resulted in impeachment or at least initiation of collection of signatures. I remember OBJ's era - he 2qs threatened with impeachment severally. This time the fear of meeting 2-third majority is holding NA leadership back

DrGoodman:
Yorubas, una see una mistake now?

no mistake. when Kemi was force to resign did you see Yoruba crying as you people are doing


I even fault Buhari for not suspending him immediately. it shows he's not tyrant as people painted him, he must have been bullied for calling himself a no nonsense general and allowing the CJN to stay


suspending the CJN gives Buhari corruption fighting a sound recognition. Buhari deserve second term for this

Saraki is a renowned accorrrmplice in most of the malfeeeasance, let's take care of Onnoghen first then you will know what is coming to your.
Societale General Bank, Kwara State Treasury are all waiting for this auspicious time that the road is clear

naijapips04:


Buhari is laying the bed very well for his eventual death.

Buhari is just so daft

Are you threatening the President’s life because of one good for nothing criminal who is too weak to hold a CJ’s position responsibly?

pawesome:
you forgot that he tried but couldn't do shhhhiiiit...he won't still be able to do shiiiiiit

Bigman no worry, buhari didn't involve himself in the process it was oshiomole that did. Buhari was just playing the innocent part then but I believe after elections he will repay them back what they did to him at the red chamber.

I thought it was the only one that noticed the veiled intention

Another name for Saraki is corruption, How can CJN forgot to declare part of his asset? If so, then we have no moral justification to detained prisoners in prison custody then.

Iamzik:


Stop distorting history here. CJN recommended his removal. Jonathan never "suspended" him

Shut it.....
When same NJC recommended his reinstatement, what did Ebolo Jonathan do?

magoo10:
Suspending the CJN amounts to removing him and prevention from carrying out his duties which the laws are very clear in the removal of a CJN

Buhari does not have the power to do what he has done therefore an exercise in futility.

His plan to cause tensions will fail because he will be tamed like a dog.

don worry it's completely null and void but Onnoghen must stand his ground

Have you taken time to read the Nigeria constitution?

Go and read the provisions as stipulated in the constitution which Senator Saraki is talking about.

Buhari want to take Nigeria to the dark military era.

But ignorant Nigerians, political ass lickers and sycophants are singing the dictator praises.

Which way Nigeria?

Apologies to late evangelist Sunny Okosun.

I won't be surprised if I wake up by tomorrow to see a billboard with caption COUNTRY FOR SALE

sir saraki don't u hv veto power to remove dis robot..??
Dis lifless man z seriously making things worst as day goes by.....

naijapips04:


what is more clearer than Ganduje collecting brides on video?

don't mind the fool.

OAUTemitayo:

The same way you hit the street when justice Ayo Salami was removed by Jonathan.

Nonsense

You've got time for bloody hypocrites.

Tetehjewels:


Do you see why I say you are just busy saying nonsense?

Stop being a mental nuisance.

And where is he deriving his power to SUSPEND the CJN? or is your brain filled with OMO?

Was he appointed by PDP, is he a PDP member? Why is PDP always in solidarity with criminals or alleged criminals? Because outsmarted you guys, e com dey pain una.

Have you guys asked why he failed to declare such huge amount of money, how he got the money, or why operating some offshore accounts contrary to the same law he is supposed to be the head of?

Asshurbanipall:
Impeachment loading. The illiterate gworo chewing dullllard must go

It is easier to impeach Saraki than the president, Saraki is only playing safe. If he tries nonsense, he will cease to be the senate President before the election.
