Obviously the CCT judge is being used. If true he gave the exparte order, then politics is being played and not technicalities of Law. How can you adjourn a case so you can determine jurisdiction and also go ahead to give a suspension order on a party on the same case. |

sparko1: I know it is very hard, but please try and have some sense. I never mentioned whether the suspended CJN is guilty of the allegations or not. All i said is is his suspension is illegal and unknown under our constitution. |

ABSTRUSE: What does he need and where are you quoting from? Suspension is no where and so he has no such right. Judges interprete and don't make laws. If not that the cct judge is being used, and if he truly gave that order, on which law does he draw that inference from? |

naijapips04: The CCT ordered the CJN Onnoghen to step aside and told the president to appoint acting CJN Executive is meant to execute the law and court judgment. |

Since the Constitution doesn't provide the rules for Suspension of a chief judge, then Buhari should not have done such. Because right now he has no powers to suspend chief judge but only the powers to remove, and this must follow a laid down process. |

sparko1: Small thing they will start abusing. Puncture his argument with facts. Why didn't he suspend saraki then? Why did he take the matter to cct initially? Why didn't he allow justice to run its full course. We are all contributing to this mess and posterity will judge all of us for it. The constitution is what separates democracy from military rule. Any deviation from its use is illegality no matter whose ox is gourd. |

Biodun556: If the president have started obeying court orders he should not be partial but obey all. Sambo, zakzaky, adeyanju etc. The cct has no such right, the president cannot appoint CJN. The procedure is NJC recommends, President forwards to Senate, Senate approves. Same way there is procedure for REMOVAL (not suspension). |

Ellie01:I really do not see any reason we should be making a fuss about the constitution when the provision stated there was for removal and not suspension. Due process was followed. The President simply acted on the report and recommendations of the CCT. I just don't understand why you guys can't simply see the fact that the former CJN was accused of unethical and corrupt practices. I'm baffled you ascribed illegality and corruption to a man that's actually fighting it instead of asking questions like: What was the former CJN doing with $3million in different foreign accounts? What were the properties found in his name more than what he declared? I mean, we're talking about 50 more properties here. Why did he not declare his complete assets? Those are the questions you should be asking my friend. 2 Likes |

[quote author=Afospecialk post=75143670] You reason like a mad man bcs if someone as head of judiciary panel is corrupted by his failure to declose his assets should remain untouchable? Why would a head of judiciary panel failed to provide all his assets details if he doesn't have any skeleton in his cupboard. To hell.with d judge and to hell.with you. God bless.Nigeria You are the mad man here .... Pm. Has no such powers ....whether the man is corrupt or not ...it is not within his powers to suspend or remove the CJN . Can PMB suspend Ganduje the governor of Kano because he was found to have received bribe? No if he does that everyone would rise against it because PMB has no such powers . You should know when you don't have power to do things ... If you found someone screwing your wife and you kill him .. you won't be excused ..you would be charged for murder or manslaughter ...and you would go to jail .why ? Because you have no such powers .simple Even if a ma kill your dad and you kill the man in return You would be punished because you don't have the powers...simple PMB has no power to remove or suspend the CJN.non absolutely... |

SEONaijaExpert:was I really expecting anything different? I wasn't disappointed with your response cuz if PMB isn't aware of anything how come his foot soldiers will be aware. The fact is a precedence is being set today. it's neither a PDP or APC affairs but the survival of Nigeria's democracy. we are clapping for lawlessness today for getting that the actor will vacate seat one day. he won't be there forever but Nigeria will remain and the foundation being laid today will determine what will happen tomorrow. |

ValCon888: Although your attention has been drawn to the legal differences between Removed and Suspended but to no avail. Did you also know that the same Onnoghen gave a landmark judgement according supremacy to the CCT over decisions pertaining to the present subject matter?

Re: 9 Reasons Why The Suspension Of The CJN Is Constitutional - PoliticsNGR.com by sammhi(m): 10:11pm On Jan 26, 2019 |
Afospecialk:You are wrong mister ...very wrong Lemme explain PMB has no such powers to suspend or remove the CJN...simple ... whether the CJN is corrupt or not does not mean PMB has such powers .... Can PMB remove or suspend Ganduje the governor of Kano for receiving bribe? No PMB cannot because he has no such powers .period It will not about ..oh the man is corrupt or not ...it is the law ... Can you kill a man who killed your dad juat because U have a gun ? If you did you would go to jail period.why ? Because you don't have such powers to kill a man who is a known murderer..... So learn how law works and stop being sentimental not or emotional Law has no emotions One more When tyranny and oppression is coming on to the land it comes in guise of fighting crime . . PMB must know his limits....he exceeded his limit Even. US and UK are against it The CCT didn't order the president to suspend the CJN It only says the CJN should step aside ...not indicating how ? PMB decided to interpret it to mean he should suspend Not so ... |

Re: 9 Reasons Why The Suspension Of The CJN Is Constitutional - PoliticsNGR.com by Boyooosa(m): 10:34pm On Jan 26, 2019 |
ValCon888:In the case of Justice Ayo Saalmi; he was the President of Courts of Appeal which by hierarchy a lesser office to the Office of the CJN. CJN heads all courts in nigeria and by the virtue of that can easily recommend or give exparte order for a removal or suspension of any Judge or Justice to that effect. in fact in case of GEJ, Katsina-Alu and Ayo Salami, it was very easy for Katsina-Alu to have given such order (since he was the CJN) as it directly concerns the feud between him and the unfortunate President of Nigerian Courts of Appeal. GEJ on his own part was also fast enough to execute the order for the best reason known to him. Fast forward to present day; in this case the CJN is now involved not the President of Court of Appeal (who still have a superior officer ahead of him, the CJN in person) this time around, in assumption that the CJN is guilty of the allegation charged against him, how logical do you think he can be appropriately trialed? Even though, we know that the presidency has his motive for rushing up the case but for justice to prevail considering time frame, how best do you think the CCT can work effectively in this kind of situation? Moreover, dont you blame the CJN of being faulty to have committed such crime even when he was in the know of the implication? anyway, to me, i think he should have stepped aside voluntarily since he has conceded the corrupt practice as a function of 'mistake and forgetfulness'. |
