These are a bunch of idiots the NBA, they should be the one canvassing for the removal of the CJN since the man admitted to violation of the statue and law that he had sworn to uphold. Rather, they gang up to support illegality. What a shame

On what moral ground are they saying this when their President is also in court for corruption?

Don't mind the shameless ones among them. Since their head, ex-CJN, it made it easy for them to scale thru their corrupt practices. No wonder all criminal cases by top politicians r being won by defendant. Same pole will still say PMB is not fighting corruption that he should show evidence of successful case. Yet, they are the ones creating clog in d wheels of progress.

PMB should suspend as much as he can. Even d senate should be scrapped. This is time we should demand for scrapping of Senate. We need just one house.

#istandwithPMB

God bless PMB

The Nigerian Bar Association has called on the National Assembly to save Nigeria from what it described as a “coup against the judiciary.”

The NBA said this in a statement by its President, Mr. Paul Usoro (SAN), on Friday while reacting to the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen.

The association said in a statement titled, ‘Coup against the Nigerian judiciary and suspension of the Nigerian constitution,’ that President Muhammadu Buhari acted against the constitution by removing Onnoghen and swearing-in Justice Ibrahim Mohammed.

The NBA said, “We call on the Federal Government to avert the looming constitutional crisis precipitated by its ill-advised action. In particular, the Nigerian Bar Association demands the reversal of the purported suspension of. Justice Walter S C Onnoghen, GCON.

“We also call on the National Assembly to assert its constitutional authority and powers and prevent this slide into chaos and erosion of the rule of law.”

The association said the ex parte order of the Code of Conduct Tribunal which the President relied on in suspending Onnoghen was an abuse of court processes.

It added, “The NBA unequivocally rejects and condemns this attempted coup against the Nigerian Judiciary and evident suspension of the Nigerian Constitution by the executive arm of the Federal Government. The action of the executive portends a slide into anarchy and complete deconstruction of the rule of law and due process

“It amounts to an absolute breach of the constitution and the usurpation of the powers of the Senate and the Nigerian Judicial Council. It is unfortunate that the executive branch of government purports to suspend the CJN on the basis of an alleged ex-parte order of the Code of Conduct Tribunal – the same Tribunal that, to the knowledge of the executive, had, only the previous day, Tuesday, 22 January 2019 adjourned its proceedings to Monday, 28 January 2019 and has before it a Motion on Notice that is yet to be argued, seeking the same reliefs as were contained in the purported ex-parte application, to wit, the suspension of the CJN, among others.”


https://punchng.com/nba-urges-national-assembly-to-save-nigeria-as-buhari-suspends-cjn-onnoghen/

The Honourable Court in Nwaogwugwu v. President F.R.N. (2007) ALL FWLR (Pt. 358) 1327 at 1356, paras D - F (CA), held that the National Judicial Council is a creation of the Constitution. Its traditional role is as defined by the Constitution and it includes inter alia to make appointments and to exercise disciplinary control over judicial officers.

Pls see also,

Per GALINJE, J.C.A. in Page 45, paras. E-F, in the case of OPENE v. NJC & ORS. (2011) LPELR-4795(CA) further held that Section 158 (1) of the Constitution has clearly provided that the National Judicial Council (NJC) shall not be subject to the direction and control of any other authority in exercising its power to make appointments or to exercise disciplinary control over judicial officers.

This is Nigeria, sadly, the head of the NBA itself is currently on trial for corruption.

Just imagine,

The head of the Supre court is on trial for corruption.

The head of the NBA is on trial for corruption

Many judges are currently on trial for corruption.

The Judiciary is part of the corruption tapestry in Nigeria

The rot is extra deep deep

Why didn't buhari bulldoze democracy when it involves gandollar.?
Didn't the idiot and his fans invoke democracy?

If he had given the order for gandollar to be arrested by the military, will it be too much compared to this?

You are deceiving yourself, not anybody else.
Buhari can not, the kano state house of Assembly is the only place where is fate can be decided.
