naijapips02:

The law is in black and white for all to see. Wetin concern me with the vindictive mallam.

6. Restrictions on specified officers  
Without prejudice to the generality of section 5 of this Act, a public officer shall not‐  
(a) receive or be paid the emoluments of any public office at the same time as he receives or is paid the
emoluments of any other public office; or  
(b) except where he is not employed on full‐time basis, engage or participate in the management or
running of any private business, profession or trade; but nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a public
officer from engaging in farming or participating in the management or running of any farm.  
     
7. Prohibition of foreign accounts  
Any public officer specified in the Second Schedule to this Act or any other persons as the President
may, from time to time, by order prescribe, shall not maintain or operate a bank account in any country
outside Nigeria

naijapips04:
Here is the Code of conduct bureau act that absolves the CJN of any wrongdoing....for those using the 'forgot' propaganda to place media verdict on the CJN.




CJN made an admission of non-compliance, hence the CCT has no jurisdiction to even try him.

You see why they rushed everything including the yeye suspension?

SalamRushdie:
you don't know what you are saying !!!! The 3 Arms of govt are all independent of each other according to the separation of powers , The president has no input in the selection process of the CJN as he is selected by his peers under the auspices of the NJC and his name only sent to the President for submission to the National Assembly for Ratification by 2/3 majority meaning like the president and leader of the National assembly they are all there at the pleasure of the people of Nigeria.

"CJN holds office at the pleasure of the Nigerian constitution and can only be removed from office by death or on attainment of age 70 whichever occurs first or by impeachment by the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria which requires a super majority of the members of the Nigerian Senate"

please stop saying what you don't know

231. (1) The appointment of a person to the office of Chief Justice of Nigeria shall be made by the President on the recommendation of the National Judicial Council subject to confirmation of such appointment by the Senate.

SalamRushdie:
I know anyone that sees this headline will scream Impossible but this is exactly what Buhari is trying to do by claiming he can suspend the Chief Justice of Nigeria when it's very clear he has no such powers.

Onnoghen Remains the valid CJN!!!

PaChukwudi44:
The CJN is recommended for appointment by the NJC.The president swears him in same way the CJN swears in the president

231. (1) The appointment of a person to the office of Chief Justice of Nigeria shall be made by the President on the recommendation of the National Judicial Council subject to confirmation of such appointment by the Senate.

neyobills:
He is the number 1 judicial officer in Nigeria if that doesn't make him special I wonder what will and BTW not an appointee of the president.

jamace:
If you agree that democracy is built on separation of power and check and balances, then know that the CJN is special.

jamace:
Ok.....

jamace:
CJN is a special appointee whose matter cannot be dealt with without input from the NJC.

jamace:
...And now that it has been discovered that the Executive used a forged ex parte order to suspend the CJN, what do you say about the Executive?

jamace:
CJN Cannot be suspended by the Executive without consultation with the NJC.

Lawyers say CCT ex parte order may be fraudulent: https://www.nairaland.com/4985582/lawyers-say-cct-ex-parte-order

Falana in a statement said, “The ex parte order is a suspect document, as the motion ex parte on which it was predicated was allegedly filed on January 9, 2019, while the substantive charge against the Chief Justice was filed at the registry of the Code of Conduct Tribunal on January 11, 2019. Furthermore, the counsel who argued the motion is not indicated in the ex parte order.”
On his part, Odinkalu observed, “When a motion is filed in a court or tribunal, it bears the name of the lawyer or person filing it.

“The motion has to be formally moved or argued on a date fixed by the court. In this case of #Onnoghen, the motion for his removal bears no name and the order doesn’t say who moved it.

“So, to sum things up, #Nigeria’s President @MBuhari, who has no recent memory of having obeyed any court order, purports to procure the removal of the CJN based on a petition that was not investigated, a charge that was not prosecuted and an ex-parte application that was not moved.”

Keep supporting a fraudulent APC govt.

Forgot Separation of power?

SalamRushdie:
How long will you be told that the Preisdent has no power to suspend the CJN in the first place because the CJN is not an employee of the President but an equal to him in the eyes of the law ... Can the Senate President suspend the president? hell No ..Can the president suspend the Senate President? hell No , can the CJN suspend either the Senate President or President ? Hell No .

Oga stop dancing on bottles of beer over nothing ..Buhari has no such powers ..Besides there's is no provision for an acting CJN in our constitution.

jamace:
Can Buhari suspend/remove the Senate President? NO. Therefore, Buhari can not suspend or remove the CJN.

What Buhari could have done to be on the part of law was to bring up the criminal allegations against the CJN before the NJC and the NASS, and then lobby the NJC and the NASS to vote for CJN removal/suspension.

Buhari is dead wrong!

Viergeachar:
You are a liar!

Clearance is required for all scenarios. That's what the Appeal Court said.

abes:
Because the CCT has the constitutional power to try any public officer and the CJN is a public officer.
The appeal court can't stop the CCT from performing its constitutional duty.

Viergeachar:
There is a standing appeal court judgment that no sitting judgment that no sitting judicial officer can be tried without clearance from the NJC.

Hence, the CCT was acting in error.

Viergeachar:
Who are you question the appeal court

Why should the CCT try a sitting judge without the NJC first examining the matter

That's where the Appeal Court stepped in.

Viergeachar:
Was he not suspended so that he can face trial

But the appeal court has said the CCT should halt the trial. So can his suspension stand

Viergeachar:
The fact that he can't be tried unless removed by the NJC is a form of immunity.

It's why we are having this conversation.

Viergeachar:
The CJN is in a class of his own still. He enjoys 'immunity'.

Viergeachar:
Two wrongs don't make right.

Sanusi and Salami didn't head any arm of government.

naijapips04:
you are too daft to see that buhari just scored a big own goal. This are fretful acts of a drowning man.

Viergeachar:
Didn't you see the post on FrontPage by PoliticsNgr

naijapips04:
lekwa neutral observer. You are nothing but a zombie.

Amina Zakari is working for PDP. Onnnoghe is working for PDP. When will you ever grow up?

dodelight:
Dear Patriotic Nigerians: the tyrant on our nation's throne shall surely be disgraced out of power, whether by votes, or by violence, or by death. He cannot escape one of those three. God Bless Nigeria.
