It's only in Nigeria that people will come out and protest in support of the corrupt persons. The man has even agreed to his mistakes. Just like this statement read, no amount of protest will stop justice and no amount of protest and campaign will stop PMB from returning to ASO ROCK.

Good one from FG, the future of many of those talking trash against the FG for suspending the CJN have been mortgaged and bastardized by these corrupt entities at the helm of affairs. shocked

No matter what the foolish, ignorant and stupid masses do or say, it won't change the decision of FG.

Good.

What would Onnoghen's regret be?

Forgetfulness or making CCT the highest court for matters relating to code of conduct?

Buhari does not need rigging to win the coming election

Can't you see his confidence

GEJ was already sharing dollars around this time in 2015.


Buhari is over confident. International observers will see with their eyes


You always forget Buhari is a movement up North with dogged followers in the West.

North Western alliance has already sealed his Victory.


He needs no rigging or even campaign. Atiku is a light weight for Buhari to be sweating.

Who knows Atiku? He is averagely popular among the elites and unknown at the grass root.

NewsMuncher:
The Federal Government, yesterday, dismissed the groundswell of opposition to its suspension of embattled Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Walter Onnoghen, over his non-declaration of assets, insisting that no amount of mass protests would change the course of justice.

The government also boasted that more Nigerians were in support of the suspension of the CJN than those opposed to the wielding of the sledgehammer against the chief justice. Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, who spoke at a world press conference on the matter in Abuja, declared: “More Nigerians are with us than are with them on this issue, going by the feelers that we are getting from across the country.

Those who want to protest against the suspension of the CJN should feel free to exercise their rights, within the limits of the law. The minister, however, took a swipe at Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and its sympathisers for using the suspension of the CJN to celebrate corruption and attempting to make a mockery of the effort of Buhari’s administration to sanitise the polity.

Mohammed said: “The opposition, in its reaction, is guilty of engaging in hysteria and for overheating the polity. Conveniently, they have anchored their failed campaign for the 2019 election on an issue that is totally unrelated to the election.

“By their reaction, they have made their tattered umbrella available for shielding alleged corrupt persons. Their leopard can never change its spots. PDP is corruption personified and it’s only reason for seeking a return to office is to complete their looting of the national treasury. “The attack dogs unleashed by the opposition have been engaging in incitement and other actions that can threaten law and order. There is no cause for alarm, as the law enforcement agencies are alive to their responsibilities.

“Contrary to the cacophony of voices that have been muddying the waters, the CCT was acting within its powers in ordering the suspension of Justice Onnoghen as Chief Justice of Nigeria, and President Muhammadu Buhari was right in carrying out the order. “The suspension of Justice Onnoghen is a consequence of his breach of the Code of Conduct for Public Officers and has nothing to do with the forthcoming elections, neither does it signify the onset of dictatorship or tyranny as some have insinuated. It amounts to irresponsible extrapolation to say that the suspension of Justice Onnoghen is the onset of dictatorship.’’

The minister argued that rather than blame Buhari for his fate, the embattled CJN should blame himself for his misfortune. Mohammed said having admitted that he made a “mistake” by “forgetting” to declare his assets as required of him as a public officer in Nigeria, Onnoghen should have simply stepped aside as soon as he realised he had erred in that regard. The minister said it was also wrong for the embattled justice to have dodged summons by Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, and refused to appear before it, having known that it was the same court that had exclusive power to try him for the offence.

Mohammed drew attention to the ruling given by Onnoghen in 2013 in which he declared that it was only the CCT that had the exclusive right to try offences bordering on assets of public officers and no other court in the land. He said: “It is unfortunate that in the ensuing debate, the talk about due process has overshadowed the talk about the substance. Procedure cannot or should not trounce substance. That brings me to the role of the National Judicial Council, NJC.

“Some have argued that the Justice Onnoghen issue should have been referred to the NJC to handle. They would have been right if Justice Onnoghen had been accused of professional misconduct, which is what is within the purview of the NJC. “The allegations against Justice Onnoghen go beyond professional misconduct. It is the alleged breach of the Code of Conduct for Public Officers. And only one body is statutorily empowered to deal with this: The Code of Conduct Tribunal. “Interestingly, Justice Onnoghen himself has elucidated on this. In various judgments, he upheld the provisions of the law concerning the CCT. In one particular judgment he delivered on July 12, 2013, Justice Onnoghen held that the CCT had exclusive jurisdiction (emphasis mine) to deal with all violations contravening any of the provisions of the Code of Conduct Bureau. “Let me put this in a layman’s language: All breaches of the Code of Conduct for Public Officers must be handled by the Code of Conduct Tribunal

Pure and simple. In other words, Justice Onnoghen’s judgment held that the provisions expressly ousted the powers of ordinary regular courts in respect of such violations. “In a case between Ismaeel Ahmed and Nasiru Ahmed, Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, Chairman of the Kano state chapter of the party, and Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, which has been reported by the media, Onnoghen, while interpreting Paragraph 12 of the Fifth Schedule of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) as regards CCT’s jurisdiction held that, “…the said paragraph 12 provides as follows: ‘Any allegation that a public officer has committed a breach of or has not complied with the provisions of this Code shall be made to the Code of Conduct Bureau.” “The judgment, which was delivered at the Supreme Court with suit number ‘SC.279/2012’ before Justices Onnoghen and others, also held that the provisions of the law are clearly unambiguous. Justice Onnoghen said the provisions are, “so construed literally meaning that any breaches of any provisions of the said 5th schedule or matters of noncompliance with any provisions of the Code shall be made to the Code of Conduct Bureau that has established its Tribunal with the exclusive jurisdiction to deal with any violations of any provisions under the Code.’’

“Is anyone still in doubt that the CCT is the right court to try the alleged breach of the Code of Conduct for Public Officers levied against Justice Onnoghen? Is it not clear that challenging the jurisdiction of the CCT to try him is an abuse of court process by Justice Onnoghen? “As for those who argued that the CCT is wrong in ordering Justice Onnoghen’s suspension, are they aware that Justice Onnoghen himself disagreed with them? In the judgment I referred to earlier, he wrote: “The tribunal to the exclusion of other courts is also empowered to impose any punishments as specified under sub-paragraphs (2) (a), (b) & (c) of paragraph 18 as provided in sub-paragraphs 3 and 4 of paragraph 18 while appeals shall lie as of right from such decisions to the Court of Appeal.” In essence, the CCT is right to have directed Justice Onnoghen’s suspension, and the President did the right thing by acting on the orders of the CCT.

Needless to say that in many of the cases of professional misconduct against judges that Justice Onnoghen has presided over at the NJC; judges have been suspended while still undergoing trial! “In particular, the opposition has latched on to it, threatening fire and brimstone and concocting all sorts of imaginary scenarios and generally muddying the waters. In what I will call the theatre of the absurd, the main opposition party, the PDP, even suspended its electioneering campaign for 72 hours! Of course, you must have seen my reaction to that. ‘’I said there is nothing to suspend in a campaign that never took off in the first instance! So much for the opposition’s hysteria. “Today, I have called this press conference to set the records straight and redirect the discourse. Contrary to what the opposition and their ilk have been saying, this is not about the forthcoming elections; neither does the suspension of the CJN signal the beginning of dictatorship. President Buhari is an avowed democrat, and this he has proven time and time again. This administration stands firm on the rule of law.

This whole issue is about the country’s highest judicial officer, the Chief Justice of Nigeria, being accused of a breach of the Code of Conduct for Public Officers, and the legal and moral conundrum surrounding that.” ‘’It is about the suspicious transactions running into millions of dollars to the suspended CJN’s personal accounts, all undeclared or improperly declared as required by law. ‘’It is about the Hon. Justice Onnoghen himself admitting to the charges that he indeed failed to follow the spirit and letter of the law in declaring his assets.....
