The Executive can and does investigate itself; that is why Babachir Lawal was investigated by a committee set up by the same Executive and he was removed yet the Executive refused to bring him before the judiciary for trial and judgment. It is also why when a police officer commits an offence, an orderly room trial is first set up for such an officer by the same police authorities before he is subjected to the judiciary/courts. It is also why the action against the former DG, DSS was handled within the Presidency and he was eased out of office yet no trial for the numerous charges against him. In fact, it the self-regulatory powers of the three arms of government that ensure the principle of separation of powers. The Executive should not be seen to attempt to over-reach itself for any reason!

Do not be ignorant please.

We are preferring to the CJN who is the head of the judiciary.

Your comment should address whether the Executive can investigate the Heads of Executive arm.

Don't be smart by half

If we are to go by what Femi Falana and Afe Babalola have said, that no external bodies can investigate a seating judge for any crime, then wherein lies the doctrine of Separation of Powers.
Even the Executive with its clearly spelt out immunity cannot investigate itself.
Does the NJC have any agency that can conduct a detailed investigation on a criminal case?
Obviously, we have a lacuna here and the Judiciary is exploiting that ambiguity.
But the obvious is inevitable because either way, the chicken will come home to roast.

If the CJN can only be investigated by the NJC then he has a moral burden to step aside for a proper investigation.

Fools. Instead of them to take the rice home and quench hunger. Jungle justice mentality

truthfulparrot:
It is obvious that some people deliberately misadvised the president on this issue.
A lot of people who have not read the petition have been busy running thier mouths. The CJN was never accused of stealing money. He was accused of not declaring some domiciliary account in 2009. It is important to note that he eventually declare all these accounts in 2016
The people who deliberately misadvised the president are only interested in causing more problems for him.

It's the constitutional duty of the Attorney General to receive petition and take appropriate action. He doesn't need authorization from the president .


What everyone is referring to has no constitutional backing. It's an Appeal Court pronouncement which has not even been tested at the Supreme Court.
That aside, if everyone is claiming the judiciary cannot be investigated by external bodies, wherein lies the doctrine of Separation of Powers? Even the Executive, with its clearly stated immunity, cannot investigate itself against irregularities.
But we always see the Legislature and Judiciary claiming to have such powers.
Obviously, there appear to be a lacuna here and the Judiciary is just using its position as the interpreter of the law to protect it own.

There are instances where Supreme Court Judges had been arrested and investigated by external bodies in other countries

Why must Nigeria be different?

MadamExcellency:
Do you know that CCB lost both Tinubu and Saraki's cases because they never called the culprits to point out the discrepancies to allow them the opportunity for correction or denial before CCB takes the next step?

I must admit, there's clearly a lacuna here if everyone had to refer to an Appeal Court case that had been appealed . This case has not even been tested at the Supreme Court.
Even the Executive, with its clearly spelled out immunity doesn't have authority to investigate itself in cases if irregularities. That's the job of the Legislature.
But in cases of the Judiciary we hear they can only be investigated by NJC. Then wherein lies the separation of power. And what mechanism or agencies does the NJC possess that can successfully conduct a thorough and legitimate investigation in cases of criminal matters.

All these arms of govt are just out to protect their own regardless of what ever

MadamExcellency:
Absence of Declaration of Assets is not listed as a criminal offence but it is a statutory obligation to check against fraudulent enrichment by public officers.

In this case, he declared his assets as required by the law but failed to update it at a time required. He wasn't accused of bribery or fraudulent enrichment which are crimes.

It's basically semantics.
Failure to update, failure to disclose fully. An irregularity had been uncovered.

Forgetfulness is not an excuse

MadamExcellency:
Gosh !

No crime has been dictated because there is no evidence of fraud or unlawful enrichment.

Did CCB gave him a form to update his assets declaration after the tenure and he refused?

Remember, he declared his assets correctly but what we are talking is an update.

What are you talking about? The CJN has acknowledged that he forgot to declare his full assets which makes it a criminal offence,

Shampoo77:
You once sued Buhari! Then what happened? Did you succeed in removing him or send him to prison? Foolish fellow.

Removing him from where? This happened in 2011

Someone exposed an irregularity and to you he's a foolish fellow.


Guess who's foolish?

MadamExcellency:
The presidency has no hand in the petition but the Presidency is here and there crying and trying to force the suspension of CJN even before the case is adjudicated.

We hear you. Always thinking that we all are zombies

The facts of this case are conspicuously spelt out but ur likes are only concern about the sentiments.

For those saying the Fg is in a rush.
A crime had been dictected , what should the Fg wait for

All u need to be unqualified to take action in the face of corruption or an allegation is to have come in contact with Buhari before.


Nobody cares about the credibility of the case

Everyone is just out to protect their selfish interest

Every damn thing Will be politicized by PDP.

So this is the way Atiku plans to fight corruption... With air freshener?

Why some elements hell bent on setting this country on fire ?

The CJN has not even reply the petition the media is already talking about a cabal.

kufre2010:
APC HAS DONE THEIR CALCULATIONS AND RELIES THAT AFTER RIGGING PDP WILL GO TO COURT AND WILL GET JUSTICE UNDER THE PRESENT CHIEF JUDGE SO THE PAID THIS DEMONDS TO START THE PROCESS OF HIS REMOVAL. BUHARI IS A HADDEN DEMON

What informed this ur comment?


Have you read the petition?


Even the CJN spokesperson declined to comment without assessing the situation

SalamRushdie:
This all about the fake election result the Buhari govt is depending on !!!! Buhari knows with this man heading the supreme court the disgrace of a rig result they plan to leak might be knocked of buvthe supreme court

What's the role of the CJN in conducting election?

Is he the only competent Supreme Court Judge?


Get all the facts of the story before taking sides. This only shows you have a prejudice mind

Where are the masked men?

awelekiti:
It happened immediately after the meeting . As of this morning, his condition is said to be improving but nobody has heard him speak. The truth is, tinubu's health has been failing of late. How i wish he could just take a bow and leave active politics participation. Life is invaluable.

Ho shut up you liar

That's good. We all cant agree on same thing.

No matter how they shout, the majority will have their way

PDP should stop lies

It's not funny anymore

Tinubu is reaping an humongous income from the activities of agberos in Lagos. Money that should ordinarily go to the Lagos State Government treasury... Which Tinubu also controls.

Either way, we are doomed in Lagos if we dont kick out Tinubu and his useless blueprint that he kept using to scam us.

deboysben:
The kind beating apc will receive in the coming election, it will take much time to recover.

Tinubu that South West is about to slip through his fingers.

Your comment is quite hilarious when I remember the fact that Apc just reclaimed Ondo, Ekiti and Osun

bedspread:
His Excellency is basically looking at photos...

Looking is Not Reading...

If Gej had only looked at the toothpick importation document, wouldn't had signed it

We have 91 political parties and about 76 with presidential candidates but only PDP doesn't trust INEC.

The best they should do is just boycott this election

Amaechi is right

The only way this country can experience a progressive change is if we kill all politicians
