Buhari suspend CJN but did not remove him
But pigs can't understand this

Steinmann:
If you are a lawyer you should have known the following.
1. Such rulings should not be by ex parte motion but by motion on notice.Based on fair hearing.
2 If it were not on instigation of the presidency,it reserves the right to challenge any unconstitutional order made on it.
3 The CJN as far as the law is concerned as at now is an INNOCENT man and has not been proved guilty of any offence.
4 You cannot just remove an innocent number 4 citizen that has done no wrong except in zoogeria where the mad people have taken over the asylum.

Wallade:


When Jonathan suspended the CBN governor, several people and I also indicated that it was an aberration. However, there is yet a fundamental issue with the suspension of the CJN that you (supporters of the action) all failed to recognize:

There are three arms of government in Nigeria's democratic system of government: Executive, Judiciary and Legislative arm of government. They are designed to create checks and balances in the system of government and to be independent of control from other arms despite working in harmony to govern the nation appropriately.

The CJN is the head of the Judiciary hence an independent arm of government. The president has no business or power to suspend a CJN especially considering the dictates of the Constitution of Nigeria.

The president desecrated the constitution that he swore to protect with that action; the president went overboard in exercise of his powers.

@POLITICSNGR

Below is an article written by Audu Bulama Bukarti on the recent suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, made available to PoliticsNGR. Read Below;

"Given the supersonic speed at which the CCB & CCT are moving and the uncharacteristic enthusiasm of the FG to comply with judicial orders, I am suspicious of the motive behind the prosecution of the CJN.

I am also concerned with the time of the whole thing. But this is just a marginal note; a statement by the way side. I will keep it for another day.

Now, turning to the topic at hand, I do not see anything wrong or illegal with the suspension of the CJN and swearing-in yesterday of Hon. Justice Ibrahim Tanko. The action of PMB is constitutional. Nay, he had a duty to act in the way he did. Here are my seven reasons:

1. PMB did not act on his own motion. He acted on an Order of the CCT.

2. The CCT has an inherent power under Section 6 of the Constitution to issue any order that will promote the Rule of Law and ensure the smooth conduct of its proceedings. I believe this order does both. See point 7 below.

3. Some lawyers have argued that CCT’s Order is illegal or even unconstitutional. But this is not PMB’s business. He can’t question the legality of a judicial decision as doing so will tantamount to the president sitting on appeal on the Judgement of a Court.

4. Under our constitutional system, PMB has no option than to obey the said Order. That is why we have been urging him to obey the Orders on Dasuki and Zakzaky. I repeat the same call here toady;

5. The provisions of Section 292 cited by the NBA and others do not apply to this matter as the CJN was not “removed”. He was “suspended” pursuant to a valid and subsisting Order. The removal envisaged by and under Section 292 of the Constitution means “the dismissal of someone from a job” while suspension as in the present case means “[to] temporarily prevent from continuing or being in force or effect.”

6. The CJN is the head of the all Nigerian courts and Judiciary as well as the Chairman of the National Judicial Council which, under his Chairmanship, exercises supervisory and disciplinary role on all judges and judicial officer in Nigeria. This means any decision reached by CCT may likely go on appeal up to the Supreme Court where the CJN is at the helm of affairs.

7. It is against the rule of Natural Justice for Justice Onneghen to remain the CJN and Chairman NJC while facing trial under the same judges whose promotions, disciplinary and other related matters are under him;

8. I believe this action will facilitate quick dispensation of justice in this matter. Before the Order, the “generous SANs” representing the “poor” CJN had started taking steps that are clearly intended to frustrate his trial. They had started raising frivolous issues and making empty applications because they knew that their client had an upper hand. Now that he has been suspended, the defense counsel will be serious to prosecute the matter to its conclusion so that their client might be reinstated as quickly as possible if he is not found guilty.

9. Assuming, without conceding, that there are any anomalies in the procedure adopted. I would rather forgo any such anomalies for the crushingly disappointing alleged acts of the person who is suppose to hold those who violate our laws to account. I feel we must get the bottom of the allegations against the CJN whatever and punish him if he is guilty."

This whole story will last just one week and we will all forget about it and probably start to talk about something else like the incoming election or the BBNaija. The worst part of it is that, no matter how worried you may become about it or whatsoever you think you can do, it will still not change anything.



Just eat good,
Do exercise,
Dress good,
Be honest,
If you can't get a good job, raise a little fund and start up a food stuff business,
Serve your God diligently,
Take care of your immediate family,

well said.

I was at a vigil till this morning and was telling a friend who was threatening thunder and brimstone that if Onnoghen and Buhari's children were to be awake at that point in time, it will most likely be at a place catching their fun or clubbing away and not praying their necks to fall of.

Bottom line; Let the elite and the political class settle themselves.
Develop a good self esteem & the sky will be your limit! Do have a wonderful evening....

Weather 3 arms or government or not....
There is still a general head...the president.
The president has the powers to remove as stated in the constitution via some procedures...however the constitution didnt lay down procedures for suspension.
These are 2 different things. Blame the 1999 constitution not the president. Besides a court of competent jurisdiction gave the order....
Same way the constitution did not stipulate hpw.long the EFCC chairman can act, same way the constitution dod not stipulate if the CBN governor can be removed.
All this a technicalities issues with the constitution...
Until it is amended...we are just making noise

Seetto:
Pmb has done the right thing.........no one cares because corruption is everywhere....

Hitler killed millions of people and yet there were people who still justified the ignoble actions.
So am not surprised that justifications are coming for these brazen illegality

AllenSpencer:



When you say innocent what do you mean? He has already admitted with an excuse that he forgot.

A CJ that knows the rules of law should have bowed out.
