The controversial suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, by President Muhammadu Buhari has continued to elicit mixed reactions.

In removing Mr Onnoghen, Mr Buhari claimed he acted based on a Code of Conduct Tribunal order.

Many Nigerians, however, believe the president has no such powers to remove a CJN from office.

Section 292 of the Nigerian constitution deals with the removal of some public officials including the CJN. The section does not distinguish temporary removal (suspension) from a permanent removal (sack).

Below is the law as reproduced verbatim from the constitution

“A judicial officer shall not be removed from his office or appointment before his age of retirement except in the following circumstances –

Okowa Campaign AD

(a) in the case of –

“Chief Justice of Nigeria, President of the Court of Appeal, Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Chief Judge of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Grand Kadi of the Sharia Court of Appeal of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja and President, Customary Court of Appeal of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, by the President acting on an address supported by two-thirds majority of the Senate.”

(ii) Chief Judge of a State, Grand Kadi of a Sharia Court of Appeal or President of a Customary Court of Appeal of a State, by the Governor acting on an address supported by two-thirds majority of the House of Assembly of the State,

Praying that he be so removed for his inability to discharge the functions of his office or appointment (whether arising from infirmity of mind or of body) or for misconduct or contravention of the Code of Conduct;

(b) in any case, other than those to which paragraph (a) of this subsection applies, by the President or, as the case may be, the Governor acting on the recommendation of the National Judicial Council that the judicial officer be so removed for his inability to discharge the functions of his office or appointment (whether arising from infirmity of mind or of body) or for misconduct or contravention of the Code of Conduct.

In other words, a sitting CJN can only be removed from office by the president after at least two-thirds majority members of the Senate support such a move. No such matter has been debated in the Senate.

Nigerians can cast. So person nor fit just talk small lie make una throwwey face.

The first three comments after the OP, are patent idiots.

This is the only thing every sane Nigerians should be thinking and doing come February.

ATIKU.....everywhere you go!!!

I've never liked this woman.

I will never get this angry and mad to kill a loved one.

kingemzy5:
But I thought buhari did this to you.. This man is so much confused after been endorsed as parosident he still want to run for govonotorial and senatorial... Lemme see how you will win lemme just help you and do small campaign so it will not be as if am a bad boy

This guy has the support of deltans but if he keeps putting buhari forward he will lose again. Buhari do not need to endorse Ogboru for him win an election.

kingemzy5:
We the sensible and sensitive Nigerians agree with you.. We aren't gonna vote this caption

Only an idiot will read this and still vote buhari.

Why will a sane human being think of eating a dolphin. This people can eat human being.

Most of these guys forming macho and e-warriors reside in such pigsty.

Dirty pigs!!!

Indigbo:
According to Sahara Reporters, a copy of ⁦⁦Atiku⁩ multimillion dollar contract paid to US lobby firm to get a US visa

Just stare at a mirror carefully, what you see is the authentic definition of idiotic m.oron.

Magic touch....

They are looks dirty.

This is not "pounded" yam. This is blended yam and its similar to those poundo yam.

Prepare this for a Benin man and get ready to pack out of his house.

I thought they said Yoruba's has respect.

PDP - Power!
Nigeria - Sai Atiku!
Jigawa - Sai Mallam!
San Turaki - Sai Dangyado!

Buhari is completely finished.

You will only spill more blood if you return and we will do everything to make your return impossible.

NgeneUkwenu:
With your 5% votes?

All Buhari followers thinks alike. 2015 election despite under age voting and manipulation of Kano votes. APC 15million votes and PDP 13million. 13/28 is 5%?

Between you and a Ewu who deserves your school certificate?

Lol. The title should have been where APC will rig massively. But they will fail.

The title is even laughable. Borogini of Nigeria...why not Oyo or Yorubaland.

Even the blind knows Buhari is a failure. Come.Failbuhary he will be sent back to rearing cattle's.

Toke Makinwa should stick to her vlog whatever....she knows nothing about politics.

Charles Novia the master satirist.

Wow...same finger print. I have seen twins more identical than these but the finger print. They have proven science wrong.

"A THREAD CDD Fact Check: How true is @MBuhari 's aide's tweet on @atiku 's trip to US On Friday, @Laurestar a social media aide to @MBuhari posted a tweet quoting US Department of African Affairs saying, @atiku , who was visiting the US after 12 years cannot be arrested."

"Because he was travelling under diplomatic cover. The Fact: The Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD) fact-checkers reviewed the tweet to ascertain the veracity of the quote attributed to the US Department of African Affairs. #FakeNews"

" Verdict: Therefore, the quote attributed to the so- called US Department for African Affairs is FALSE. The so-called Department for African Affairs does not exist and is unrecognized by the US constitution and therefore could not have made the comment attributed to it #FakeNews"

Lauretta is a drunkard and a pathetic liar. In her state of drunkenness expect any lies from her.
