The Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, who was suspended by President Muhammadu Buhari last Friday, has debunked the rumour gaining traction online on Monday that he has resigned.

Onnoghen, whom President Muhammadu Buhari replaced with the next most senior Justice of the Supreme Court, Justice Tanko Mohammed, as Acting CJN, debunked the rumour in a statement on Monday.



The statement was signed by his media aide, Awassam Bassey, who described the CJN’s rumoured resignation as “fake news circulated by mischief makers.”

“Mischief makers are still circulating this fake news. Once again, no truth in it whatsoever. The Hon CJN, Hon Justice Walter Samuel Nkanu Onnoghen, GCON, has not resigned,” Bassey said.

The rumour came less than 24 hours to the emergency meeting summoned by the National Judicial Council to deliberate on Onnoghen’s suspension and Muhammad’s emergence as the Acting CJN.

The Buhari administration has since Friday, come under scathing and widespread criticism locally and from the international community for being ill-timed, coming in the eve of the imminent general elections.

Executive can't intimidate another arm of government; Judiciary!

You did not resigned,but you are suspended

You are the true CJN any other one is fake

It is a breaking news,

it was said by his media aid this evening

The people are with you CJN. Tyranny will fail

Whether he has resigned or not is inconsequential at this point because he is under suspension and therefore can't function as a CJN.

Don't worry sire! The whole world is watching the constitutional crisis going on in this country. What's worse is that fighting corruption is now a tool used to oppress the silence! This week is going to be an interesting one.

And all you zombies shouting sai baba!! Well it's only a matter of time

He is still the CJN until proving guilty by the court and the NJC will do the needful by removing him and not the President.

That's right!

Whoever doesn't have a cause worth dying for is not worthy to live!!

Meanwhile, Buharists are a bunch of senseless and pathetic 'lowlives'.
They are worse than Buhari himself!!!

He has committed no crime so why should he resign?

that is good. i like this onnoghen; he never allow anyone to preasure him to resign. that usurper Tanko will be disgraced. those justices of SC present in the court today were only there to gather enough evidence to table before NJC. This fight will consume Buhari, mumumad Tanko and onnoghen himself.

there is going to be a TRAGEDY OF VICTORY

and

a TRAGEDY OF DEFEAT.

Matters arising

Tanko is just an imposter

Following till the end

The useless BDC chief justice no get iota shame ,enter office now make we see Thief.

According to Nigeria Constitution, Onoghen is still the CJN, General Buhari has no right or Power to remove him, Muhammad is an impostor occupying that position. How would it feel if Saraki impeach Buhari without following due process. Eventhough Buhari has committed many impeachable offence.

Ride on Sir.

Constitution of Nigeria recognised him as the CJN of Nigeria, he can only be removed through layed down process as it is in the constitution, any other way is tantamount to coup, we are in democratic era and not in a military regime Oga.
