Buhari had on Friday suspended Onnoghen and immediately appointed Tanko Mohammed as acting CJN.
Explaining his reason, the President said he suspended Onnoghen, following an order from the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, asking him to wield the big stick.
In a statement forwarded to DAILY POST, Agbakoba made it clear that Buhari’s action “is the most brazen assault on Nigeria’s constitutional history” and criticized Mohammed for accepting to be sworn in.
“President Muhammadu Buhari’s suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, is the most brazen assault on Nigeria`s constitutional history.
“The President has obviously not listened to the advice of the Hon. Attorney General of the Federation or the Attorney General of the Federation has misadvised him or both.
“President Buhari claims that the suspension of the Chief Justice Onnoghen is pending the determination of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT. This is simply not true. The CCT itself adjourned proceedings in respect of Justice Onnoghen`s matter in order to determine if it had jurisdiction to try Justice Onnoghen. The President`s decision contravenes the Ruling of the CCT.
“There are at least six (6) pending cases in superior courts of Nigeria and one in the Court of Appeal. All these cases ruled that Justice Onnoghen should remain in office pending when all cases against him are resolved. These Rulings bind the President of Nigeria. In any case Section 292 of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria sets out the procedure for removing or suspending the Chief Justice of Nigeria. The power to suspend or remove the Chief Justice of Nigeria vests in the Senate side of the National Assembly.
“For all these reasons the purported suspension of Chief Justice Onnoghen is the gravest insult to Nigerian constitution in history. It is difficult to understand how President Buhari will expect my vote of confidence in the February polls if he wantonly denigrates and desecrates our Constitution.
“I call on all Nigerians to take the strongest possible view of the President`s conduct. I am shocked that Mr. Justice Mohammed Tanko would have offered himself to be sworn in as the Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria.
“I call on the Chief Justice of Nigeria to refuse to be pushed out of office. The NBA must rise to resist this assault to our constitution.
Our judges must rise; Civil Society Organizations must rise. This is potentially the beginning of our descent into constitutional anarchy.”

Saraki and the rest should commence proceedings for the immediate impeachment of this bad luck. In doing that, they should copy the international community and the US

Buhari will continue to fish out corrupt personalities out of our system.. Before the 2023 election, he would have been able to fish out all corrupt persons in Nigeria. God bless PMB

Jesusloveyou:
lawal was removed, onnogen should also be remove.

adonainana:


Young man your answer is Yes,GEJ was right to sack and remove SLS as CBN governor. In this instant case, Section 292 provides for the due process of removing a judicial officer, which is a recommendation of the NJC and a 2/3 vote by the senate. Those who drafted the constitution knew one day someone like Buhari will come to power and try to usurp the right of either the legislature or the judiciary hence the rigid process of first recommendation by the NJC, then the whole SENATE must vote to remove him.

Anything else apart from this is null, void, arbitrary, a sign of a deliberate an obvious disregard for the provisions of the constitution. The constitution is there for a reason, just like the immunity if gives Governors and Deputy Governors via section 308 from criminal and civil prosecution.

The constitution is supreme and is what we live and die for. You cant ignore or disregard it

deboysben:
All we need is action

Not just to only condemn which will later die down

National assembly should reconvene and serve buhari an impeachment notice

jamace:
Can Buhari suspend/remove the Senate President? NO. Therefore, Buhari can not suspend or remove the CJN.

What Buhari could have done to be on the part of law was to bring up the criminal allegations against the CJN before the NJC and the NASS, and then lobby the NJC and the NASS to vote for CJN removal/suspension.


Buhari is wrong!

SalamRushdie:


there is actually no need for action because in reality Buharis action is nothing but a null and void joke

khingTony:
Buhari as the president is an Insult to the constitution, Nigeria and Africa

But, we are familiar with the insults

awelekiti:
Buhari has kicked the constitution in the face. A military in a Civilian Babariga....and many illiterates would still hail him on this irresponsible act. Shame!

BENARI:
I see serious crises looming. You all are here speaking grammar.

If this decision is not reversed, remind me I said this time next week when the crude oil output drops to 1m barrel.

War might just be on the horizon.

I want to believe Buhari and his cabal are biting their fingers watching to see what the consequence of this move will be with a view to reversing it if it gets to hot.
But this might be the moment Buhari nailed his own coffin.

I fear for our safety

Creamz:

Even if he forgot to declare all his asset, it doesn't still give the president the right to equally break the law by taking powers on his own hands.
