Court Refuses To Stop Buhari From Swearing In Tanko Muhammad As Substantive CJN by popsy2(m): 9:16am On May 07, 2019 |
The Federal High Court in Abuja has rejected an ex parte application for an order stopping President Muhammadu Buhari from swearing in Justice Tanko Muhammad as the substantive Chief Justice of Nigeria. Muhammad has been acting as the CJN since January when President Muhammadu Buhari suspended the former CJN, Justice Walter Onnoghen. With Onnoghen’s resignation and subsequent conviction by the Code of Conduct Tribunal, Muhammad is believed to be set to assume the office of the CJN in a substantive capacity. The main suit filed by Malcom Omirhobo Foundation, a group being promoted and represented in court by a lawyer, Mr. Malcom Omirhobo, is challenging Muhammad’s fitness to hold the office of the CJN. Justice Inyang Ekwo rejected the group’s ex parte application requesting an order stopping Buhari from swearing in the acting CJN in an acting capacity, in a ruling on Friday. The enrolled order of the court was only sighted by our correspondent on Monday. Rather than grant the application in his ruling, the judge, directed the applicant to put all the seven defendants on notice. Ex parte applications are characteristically conducted in the absence of the adverse parties. But Justice Ekwo ruled that the prayers sought by the applicant in its ex parte application could not be granted in the defendants’ absence. After hearing the plaintiff’s lawyer, Justice Ekwo ruled, “It is hereby ordered as follows: “That none of the prayers made on this motion ex parte can be granted in the absence of the defendants. “The plaintiff is hereby ordered to put the defendants on notice. “The defendants are hereby granted seven days upon being served to appear and show cause why the application of the plaintiff ought not to be granted. “Case adjourned till May 13, 2019, for the defendants to show cause.” https://thenigerialawyer.com/court-refuses-to-stop-buhari-from-swearing-in-tanko-muhammad-as-substantive-cjn/ 3 Likes 2 Shares

Even if the court had granted such order, do you honestly believed the president would have obeyed it? The court doesn't grant orders in futility so the best was not to grant it at all knowing it won't be obeyed 5 Likes |

Nigerian Democracy system ( I used Nigerian Democracy because it seems our Democracy is different) of government is too expensive to run and permit corruption to the fullest. 90% (if not all ) of our present and past leaders would have been in jail by now if not because of"Nigerian Democracy". Only in Nigerian Democracy you'll see president converting Government properties to their own personal properties. Senate going on recess for 80% of their tenure and get 100% salary with allowances. Pastor using his private jet to ferry government money from one country to the other (may be their looking for a safer bank ). CJN forgetting to declare his assets ( he knew ignorance of the law is not an excuse. He chose his word wisely ) Governor going abroad to lecture foreign country the reason they should not grant his country loan ( is that not a treason ? ) A president moving a barrage of SAN to court to talk down his certificate suit. Senate president (the law maker) forging senate's standing rule. The analysis is giving me headache already.... Is it bullion vans in bourdilon or SARS or Babariga Dollar ? 2 Likes 1 Share

Two same stories with different headlines. "Court stops Buhari from swearing in Tanko as CJN" while we have this one as the opposite. Which of them do we now believe? Mods please try to verify before pushing news to front page. 1 Like |

What do you expect? Buhari is inimically and subtly dangerous even more than Idi Amin. Supreme Courts verdict will not stop Buhari's intended actions. He will not comply with SC rulings if against him but will listen to Customary or Sharia Court if in favour. 1 Like |

Anyone still thinking they can fight on behalf of Ex-CJN Onnoghen and get him not to be sacked without benefit, is leaving in a fool's paradise. Onnoghen is consigned to the dustbin of history as a corrupt CJN who got booted out of office. I guess it is the KARMA of those whose suits he has "sold" to the highest bidder, coming to exact revenge. Honesty is the best policy. 1 Like |

popsy2:op is just been mischievous, making it look as if barrister omirhobo wasted his time,whereas in reality the judge did the right thing unlike the criminal compromised justice Umar of the CCT, it's now up to the defendants to show why the prayers of omirhobo should not be granted in person, this even offers the opportunity to actually put critical questions to the defendants to expose their dubious intents. 1 Like 1 Share |
