I might agree that they don't a mutual political relationship in the past, but what about now? the tide might have change because technically he is never suppose to be CJN(retirement factor) but the card is being played in his favor(political manoveuring- displacing two to favor one)... Now tell me, is that not a win/win for APC

Glad you saw the humour in my comment.

If pachukwudi thinks that all of these would in any way turn out good for PDP then he's in for some rude awakening.

As long as Mary Odilli doesn't take over it's a lose lose for PDP.
Yes, he is not seeing it from that angle or maybe he chose to ignore the next fact... As it would stand, APC gat the lead, Justice Tanko was just picked to cause the necessary chaos and he would be settled when the whole plan is perfected.

In my opinion, NJC will avoid further dragging the Judiciary into the mud by ratifying Onnoghens suspension and recommending Mohammed's appointment.

Yes, PDP and their cohorts will shout but there is a way out.

In the case of Abia state, which is used as precedence, the CJ was removed and the new CJ's was appointed without NJC, story ends. The vacuum was without the complication of an exparte order we are seeing in this CJN case.

In this case, it is a suspension and there is a vacuum, while there are cases in both the Appeal court and the CCT where the determination is the one creating the vacuum of CJN.

The NJC in this case would have to first of all declare if the CCT has jurisdiction over Onnoghen's case or not before they can decide if Mohammed was right or wrong. If CCT acted right, then Mohammed acted right, if CCT acted wrong the Mohammed was wrong. Either way Mohammed couldn't have known which way the NJC prefered so he had to fill the vacuum created until when all parties resolve their issues. I was his responsibility to do so and if the next judge was in his shoes, would have done same.

Mohammed can also claim to be under the CCT's exparte order just like the president is also claiming. The order had the part where the president should act and he as the most senior judge will also act. If the NJC doesnot agree, then the CCT is the one responsible not the President nor Mohammed.

If the NJC wishes to put an end to the whole issue, they would obviously recommend what the president could accept. I also think they would after considering Onnoghen's reply, forward the petition against him to the CCT as the appropriate body to deal with his case. If they do that, it means they have ratified the earlier suspension and killed whatever case is in the appeal court.

This is my opinion, am not a lawyer.

NJC can not sack anybody.!

NJC can recommend the two justices of the supreme court for removal to the President and the president may reject the recommendation.

However, if Onnoghen resigns, PMB will accept his resignation and in line with NJC's rule, It will have no choice than to recommend the next most senior judge for elevation to the post of the CJN. and that will be Tanko.

And if PMB accepts the recommendation for both judges to proceed on early retirement, the next most senior judge is a Yoruba man and may be politically acceptable to all. The NJC will then have to ask the President to appoint new judges to the supreme court.

That is if the president wants Onnoghen out more than he wanted Tanko as CJN. Either way PMB holds the ace on this.

Bros Justice Rhodes is a man of honour and not a stooge.It may also interest you to know that it was Justice Rhodes who led the supreme court panel that ratified the Makarfi led executive as the authentic PDP exco.The supreme court has never fallen to the manipulations of any government in power.

NJC to sacked Tanko in dreams. The federal government have settled for Justice Tanko Muhammad, if NJC does not want to be ridiculed let them not accept Tanko, when the constitution also gives the president the right to accept or reject NJC recommendation.

Just like Magu's case senate rejected his confirmation and is still their as acting for almost 4yrs.

NJC recommend any other person apart from Tanko and see how Tanko will be acting CJN until 2023 he reaches 70yrs of retirement.

This is PMB accept my candidate or i render your recommendation useless using the constitution right to accept or reject your recommendation.

Didn't you just read that any CJN appointed by the president without Senate confirmation can only serve a maximum of 3 months, after which he cannot be reappointed? If Senate fails to confirm Tanko which is very likely, he will finish his 3 months and bow out. The next in line (Rhodes-Vivour) will definitely be the next CJN.
Anyhow you look at it, Tanko can't stay in that position more than 3 months.

You are too childish.Thank God you said you are not a lawyer.Justice Tanko led the NJC panel that recommended the sacking of the former CJ of Abia state for the same offence he just committed.So how could he caim ignorance of what he did?

Tanko cannot even saty there more than one month.The supreme court will sack him long before then.Furthermore Tanko will be suspended by the NJC and thus will no longer bbe regarded in the hierarchy of SC judges

lol and you think Onnogen will resign?.The SC factor is there.It will deliver a ruling on the suit filed by the senate and either nullify or affirm the president's actions.Furthermore If Justice Tanko is recommended for dismissal by the NJC he will no longer be the next in line to the CJN

Exactly. D article is clear demonstration of separation of powers and d independence of d Judiciary. They don't need d president 2 tell them what they should do. Its what many Nigerians have been saying. D president can't just wake up& decide that d CJN is corrupt & apportion punishment as he feels. Let d process take its full course

D NJC cannot sack anybody? Pls read this:


“Incidentally, Justice Tanko was a member of the NJC panel that removed Justice Obisike Orji of the Abia State High Court for accepting to be sworn in as chief judge by the governor of Abia State without the recommendation of the NJC.“

Tanko Mohammed is the Judas of the judiciary. He betrayed the legal body on whose pivot his career is hanging.

Let same judgement he delivered be done to him

He is a sharia man. The most likely reason Buhari quickly dispatched Onnoghen knowing that the next in line is a man of the same breed with himself. If NJC sacks the man, Buhari like in the case of Magun, the EFCC chairman will still want to keep him. Itsey Sagay by then will give him the legal reason why he shouldn't listen to NJC because corruption is in all of its members. The man Buhari and his co-travellers do not understand how civilized society functions, they belong to the sharia bush.

What he did was a result of an exparte order right or wrong, the responsibility is not his to
bear. That is not feigning ignorance. As a Judicial officer he abided by an order to avail himself as the most senior.

NJC should fault the exparte order if they like, squash it or do whatever, he obeyed the law. If he had refused, Buhari will also petition him for refusing to obey an order of a lawful court.
