This is the first humorous statement we've heard since patience Jonathan

The group suggested that the only workable solutions were to outlaw open grazing; arrest and prosecute arms-bearing herdsmen and promote ranching systems.

If you say everyone should wait till the time lapses that would amount to some level of acquiescence. We cannot pretend that d country has not been polarised along ethnic n religious lines; the Judiciary has been headed strictly by Northerners for upwards of 30yrs and no Southern President has left any nominated CJN acting in limbo and unsure of his status. Naturally, if you're honest, u can clearly see how it feeds into the narrative of bias n religious intolerance on the part of the government.

The President is not at liberty to pick n choose who becomes CJN without proffering cogent reasons for rejecting anyone nominated by the CJN. It also goes against the spirit of the Constitution to simply wait out the three months and then have another nominee presented. If he has a problem with the acting CJN becoming substantive CJN hence his curious refusal to comply with constitutional requirements, he ought to state them formally within this 3 months and d nominee or acting CJN in this case should be afforded enough time to respond to whatever issues d executive may raise. Allowing the 3 months to lapse precludes all of those and does not bode well for democratic governance.

It is not out of place for d president to at all times act timeously, he doesn't have to be bound by law to do that! It's simple n common decency. Now I have always quarrelled with leaving an appointee in acting capacity for even longer than a month because it fetters his independence with his fate hanging in d balance because he doesn't know if he'll be confirmed or kicked put n replaced by another. The issue with Magu would have been avoided if d president had been proactive in having him vetted by d DSS say a month before the expiration of the tenure of d previous EFCC boss; once cleared, his name would have been forwarded to the Senate and he'd have been confirmed upon appointment. That way he doesn't play his hands and it begins to look like the Senate is threatened by his 'diligence' and then appears to deliberately scuttle his substantive appointment. That is not stampeding the president, it is proper practice n common sense.

Now, if the Acting CJN is passed over for his junior, that offends d principle of seniority within the judiciary. What happens next? Will he then be forced to retire without attaining the mandatory age of retirement when he's not incapacitated in any way? There must be balance in all things and frankly, d president should have jumped at the chance to have an arm of government headed by a southerner to avoid unnecessary disquiet and earn him even better acceptance. As it stands, he just keeps giving off the strong stench of a an ethnic and religious bigot.
