If he doesnt honour the invitation, he will be arrested. CJ has no immunity
Even if he 2000 SANs it wont be of any value

Let's watch and see!

allthingsgood:
That is for the Judge to decide, not you or i
Onnoghen will have his day in court

He may not honour the invitation.. Reason is that that substantive law will not give the tribunal the jurisdiction for his trial...you watch and see...the 157 SANS on the CJN's back may be the ones to appear there and am sure their argument will be centered on jurisdiction... Let's watch and see

allthingsgood:
Court of appeal does not make laws, neither is it the highest court in the law
but even if this were so, mr onnoghen has the right and more than enough capacity to present his defense

I disagree with your submission... What do u mean that court of appeal does not enact laws? OK the substantive law by an appeal court is still a law aside the constitution law that is been upheld because that law has not been vacated yet by the highest court of law in this state..that appeal court ruling gives the NJC the right to look into the CJN matter...so what are you saying?

allthingsgood:
Stop insulting people. There is nothing like that in the constitution

Go and read the constitution in between the lines and it's seems as though you do not know that an appeal court ruling emphasising this same constitution with regards the CJN and the NJC, have not been vacated yet..so that law is still sacrosanct!

It is upon the basis of the substantive laws, that wike is basing his argument....

It's gonna be a clash of two laws!

atakamus:
If Wike said this, I wonder what he is afraid of. CJN is not above the law. Let him prove himself innocent. This has nothing to do with the Niger Delta people. The law is the bases. Let the law be upheld.

But funny enough another same law reads that the CJN can be tried by the NJC! So which law supercedes the other...because that law saying NJC has the right to attend to CJN matters have not been vacated yet..so it's gonna be a clash of two laws!

The Director General of the Buhari Campaign Organisation, Rotimi Amaechi, has told Nigerians complaining about hunger in the land that he himself is hungry.

He said the opposition Peoples Democratic Party caused the hunger in the land by stealing money from the nation’s purse while in power.

Amaechi said this at the APC presidential campaign rally which was held in Bauchi on Saturday.

He urged Nigerians to demand that the PDP return the nation’s stolen money.

The former Rivers State governor also claimed that the opposition was broke and hungry.

He said that was why the party wanted to return to power by all means.

Amaechi said, “I was speaking to my friend from the other divide and he said you are hungry, I said ‘yes, if they did not steal the money they stole, you would have had enough food.’

“The money they stole is what is making me hungry. Tell them, to bring the money.

“The PDP stole $2bn to prosecute 2015 elections but we still defeated them. They are broke, they are hungry and they want to come back to steal.

“The PDP members know that they are broke and because of that, they are looking for cheap source of funds.

“When they say there is no food, they want to steal money and they cannot do that because the President has said that public money is not for any individual.”

The minister of transportation wondered what the PDP did with the money it got for 16 years when oil was $114 per barrel.

He claimed that when the PDP was in power, he could not sleep with his two eyes closed even in the Rivers State Government House allegedly because of security challenges.

He said the situation had changed under Buhari.

The National Chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole, said President Muhammadu Buhari knew how to catch thieves “and that is why the thieves have all gone to the PDP but even if they go to the PDP, they must be arrested.”

Whenever this Amaechi talks, I usually laugh in APCenglish! Was he not a strong member of PDP and part of his narrative? Even the people listening to him and taking all what he said hook ,line and sinker are very ignorant...I call them ignoramus!

It's a pity!
But looking at his narrative objectively, want Amaechi is saying is totally wrong.... Comparing the food prices during PDP era and now , Amaechi lied!

Amaechi is a hypocrite! And anyone that believes his lie is also a hypocrite!

APC is a party of hypocrites!

ProsidentBuhari:


Good job from my APC patriots. My opposition thinks it is only machetes and guns that we have in our arsenal, they don't know we also use acids and anointing oils to do our jobs. Different weapon of attack for different set of people.
Acids: For attacking oppositions

Anointing Oil: For cleansing corruption charges of new members

You need deliverance...lolzzzz!

Kwara Must Change

PDP thugs wearing our vests to attack innocent citizens, Kwara APC cries out

We have information that PDP thugs, true to our predictions since December 2018, have now mass-produced vests and other APC logos with which they are going around Kwara State to destroy things and attack innocent citizens. This is an old tactic for which the PDP and its patrons are known.

We recently alerted the people of Kwara to this evil tactic of the PDP. Armed with guns and other deadly weapons, they are wearing the same APC vests and filming themselves as they carried out this act of violence against Kwarans. An example was what they did today (Sunday 13 January) in Surulere area of Ilorin in the state capital. This was the same tactic they deployed in 2003 and other election periods. These are panicky measures adopted by the drowning dynasty which has lost the battle of ideas.

We remain committed to running a peaceful, issues-based and decent campaign. Again, we call on the security agencies to arrest this ugly trend. We reiterate our position that politicians must seek people's votes through superior arguments and campaign pledges, not through violence and propaganda for which the PDP is now known all over Nigeria. The drowning dynasty must run its campaign on its records in office, not through violence and intimidation. Enough is enough. O To Ge

Does this win elections? Very funny post!

Limitednow:
Buhari said he has declared his assets and directed Nigerians to approach the CCB who refused to make the assets known to Nigerians.

Now, CJN Onnoghen declared his assets and the CCB is expected not to disclose content without the approval of the the accused.

I want to ask, who showed the APC group that filed the petition the assets declaration form of Onnoghen?

That is why I feel there is a political undertone to it? The courts have not been favouring the APC so far..so someone somewhere decided to be the one to rubbish the CJN by disclosing this to CCB...money have changed hands and lots if it secretly.

eagleeye2:
Someone raised a posse that when buhari was asked about his assets declaration, he referred those asking to the CCB... when CCB.,, was asked they declined making the content of Buhari's file known without his permission. The question now is, how did the writer of this so called petition find out what was in the CJN's ,, assets declaration form?
Secondly, of all the millions of people in Nigeria the writer of this petiton happens to be a known ally of President Buhari?

My friend I still feel and believe that this is not unconnected to the APC court case in rivers....

I believe some powerful cabal are digging up his dust just to indict him and make him useless while they put in their person that may rule in their favour.


I have a very strong feeling that this may be the underlying factor..

Since 2016 up till now. They never raised up the petition..why now? And at this critical period and when the court cases are not in favour of the APC

I smell an APC rat !

datola:
Hmmm... Honestly I am not happy at all that the whole CJN has to be arraigned just like that. But it is better to be on the side of the law even when it is not convenient.

Can some people also investigate other public figures whether they have disobeyed the same law. The fight against corruption must be total.

Ganduje is a governor enjoying immunity from prosecution. He can only be trialed after he leaves office as governor. See the case of fomer governor Fayose.

This case against Justice Onoghe apears straightforward and he might be guilty as charged.

What has his Lordship been waiting for since, to correct the anomalies since he became the CJ even when the FG has been alleging that the Judiciary is aiding and abetting corruption

Forgetness/ignorance of law is not and excuse.

Due process was not followed in indicting and convicting the CJN...that is the bone of contention... No one says he should not face his music... There are procedures that was neglected in hurriedly convicting him within 3 days! No naa...no sane person will support the CJN blunder but carry out the indictment and conviction in a due process manner..why the hurry? And neglecting some aspect in the fed constitution with regards the CJN office

sureheaven:
This country is finished, even saraki us talking of due process which he knows will surely be frustrated at the end .

People have been sentenced to prison for committing lesser crime by the same onnoghen.

I'm expecting PDP to tell him to resign the way they said to Adeosun so he can face his charges very well but for where, politicizing everything is all they're good at.

Read the post in between the lines and read your post.. Does it correlate?

Did Saraki say the CJN should not face his music? Saraki said a due process should be followed as stipulated by the constitution concerning the CJN....not this kangaroo indictment and conviction..that happened within 3 days!

Was Kemi indicted and convicted within 3 days? Was she not pampered and packaged back to the UK?

The APC led government is exhibiting a double standard in fighting corruption

Has Babachir been indicted and convicted? Is Babachir not moving around freely even to the extent he was invited for a state function in the villa....

No one says the APC should not fight corruption but fight it transparently and that is the position Saraki is.

etin06:
No body is actually saying he doesn't have a case to answer. All of them are crying that the process is to swift in filling charges against the CJN. haven't we been looking for a swift justice system? Why are they crying now?

A swift justice that is lopsided? Haba! No naa....have they tried babachir? Has he been indicted?

And more so, there is a due process the executive is failing to follow....The legal luminaries are geared to bring it out to bear!

Tomorrow will be very interesting!

Moukandjo:
So who didn't allow APC field candidates in Zamfara & Rivers? Let's start from there!

APC...and her internal wahala....Not the INEC Boss.

sogodihno:
guy! shut up. I feel ur pain. Buhari is ur president ntor.

Millennium child! It shows from your post!

Moukandjo:
Man claims they want to nail him because of the Rivers APC issues! Why didn't they nail the INEC boss himself that didn't allow APC field any candidate in Zamfara & Rivers before it even got to court in the first place despite the APC being the ruling party! You no see say your logic funny!

Ok, oga, will you be satisfied if the CJN is just asked to resign without prosecution as was the case with Adeosun?

First and foremost your post is wrong...INEC boss was not the one that did not allow APC to field any candidate... In those states you mentioned...go back and read your post properly..now whose logic according to you is funny?

Do unto others what you want them to do unto you....Read again and get understanding

Vickthore:
because, he is going to b d chair of NJC. U can't b a judge on ur own case, dt z not fair

Then they should have given him enough time to resign ...why convicting him already? The speed is so fast! No room at all..to me I feel it has a political undertone sha

Vickthore:
At least, she left

Left but was not arraigned or convicted!

adedehinbo:
but she did vacate her seat then,why should the judge be exempted from justice?

Did you see the speed at which the CJN was arraigned to court? Within 4 days after the petition was received... Did they do that to Kemi? Rather she was pampered and packaged back to the UK...Double standards

Ecstasy154:
The All Progressives Congress (APC) says the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is sympathetic to corruption.

The ruling party said this in reaction to a statement credited to the PDP.

The opposition party had said that the allegations against Walter Onnoghen, chief justice of Nigeria (CJN), is a move by the APC government to constitute “a constitutional crisis” and “instill fear in judicial officers” to do its bidding.

TheCable had earlier reported that there were moves to remove Onnoghen before the elections.

The CJN has been accused of false assets declaration.

But in a statement on Sunday, Lanre Issa-Onilu, APC spokesman, said the fight against corruption remains a cardinal promise made by his party to the electorate.

“Following reports of the move to prosecute Justice Walter Onnoghen, chief justice of the federation, over an alleged infraction on the Code of Conduct laws, the swift statement by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) condemning the purported move has again exposed the Party as one with a natural inclination to rise up in defence of cases of alleged corruption,” he said.

“Resort to baseless postulations anytime issues of corruption is leveled against public officers only confirm what Nigerians already know. PDP and corruption are siamese twins that are difficult to separate from each other.

“One would have thought that the PDP will call for impartial investigations when corruption cases are levelled against public officers, but spinning falsehoods and conspiracies remains the opposition party’s favourite past time.

“The APC administration will not hesitate to investigate and prosecute any public officer if and when such is indicted for corruption.

“Achieving acceptable elections in all democratic climes is a collective effort which require the contributions and support of all well-meaning Nigerians, political parties, institutions and sundry interests.

“Commendably, in successive elections conducted under the APC administration, the party has played by the rules, which has led to credible elections. This cannot be said of the PDP era when state institutions were deployed to manipulate the electoral process.”

Issa-Onilu said the APC is committed to ensuring that the forthcoming elections go on record as one of the freest, most credible and peaceful elections in the country.

This is a hypocritical statement and post! It's seems as though these guys don't think before putting up such press conference or do they have AMNESIA ?

GetMeRight:
It doesn't matter where the corrupt judge got an undisclosed 3 million dollars? It doesn't matter that he "forgot" to declare it? And you're among the Nigerians yearning for a better Nigeria?

I bloody don't care about the judges issues but what am worried about is the speed to convicting him without a due process....

I feel they wanna nail him because of the court outcomes of rivers APC crisis....I have a strong feeling that its not unconnected...OK when the former finance minister declared a fake NYSC document , after she was busted, what did they do to her? Nothing.... They packaged her properly and made her leave for the UK.... What of babachir...has he been arraigned? Its the double standards that also gives a huge concern

KingOfAllIgbos:
No blaze happening

See, i know Buhari wants to rig (everyone does) by having INEC + IGP + CJN....

But why the fvck will a CJN forget to disclose $700k out of $740k found in his account ? Since 2005 ?

$740,000 = N226 million by the way...

I don't blame Buhari at all, the CJN delivered himself into the hands of his "enemies"

Nobody is saying buhari should not do what he wants to do but he should do it by following due process...why bypassing the NJC? Remember the judiciary is suppose to be independent.. Appointment in that area is based on nomination from NJC..you can opine otherwise but this is my opinion.

Edodefender:
pH or Bayelsa would have been better

The CJN is in Abuja, the arraignment is in Abuja...so its only natural for them to sit there and delibrate to come up with a way forward to handling the situation

PassingShot:
Most likely because he lost his ticket to another contender.

While APC is busy catching PDP top guns, PDP is making do with small fingerlings

Attached below is just a portion of the crowd that graced PMB's campaign in Bauchi.

Expect close to 2 million votes there

Bauchi is an APC strong hold ....it is expected. But mind you that Atiku will get 45% if not ,50% here

ClearFlair:
Yeye thief-lover. How una stealing business nah? PMB don catch una..una come dey vex like dogs wey get rabies. Continue barking bingo. Don’t stop o....woof woof woof. Yeye entities.

The issue is not about stealing but about following the due process in nailing the thief...you mean in Buhari regime, thieves have not been caught? What happened to them? Were they hurriedly convicted as criminals or were the ever convicted? The double standard in Buhari regime is a problem...Babachir is still roaming about even making political statements in favour of APC... In the real sense, should such person be allowed to do so? Former minister of finance was caught in fake credentials, what happened to her? Was she not well packaged and sent back abroad? Did she face any criminal charge or disgraced? Let's call a spade a spade..... There are serious double standard issues in Buhari regime...... Now we are in a very sensitive period and you quickly convicted the cjn without the normal due process... Why bypass the NJC?

In fighting corruption, it has to be done appropriately..... This is an electioneering period, and that is when this is coming up abi? I small a political rat!

garfield1:
Inspite of the factions,ouk is the overall leader.there's no way the will collect kalu money and vote for ikpeazu or orji,even a mad man wont do such.buhari will lose abia but win aso rock.do not allow hatred for apc and buhari to becloud your sense of objectivity unless your education is a waste,thats from late okadigbo

Read what you wrote again...did I say I hate APC?

Because I don't like the people in it does not mean I hate the party...I am referring to the people in it...At least you recognized the fact that buhari will not win Abia...leave state politics!

sogodihno:
no one is saying Buhari will win SE, in fact even if he get 0%, he will still be ur president till 2023, get that into ur flat skull.

It seems you have amnesia! Read what you wrote...does it make any sense? Memory loss is an issue.

zlantanfan:
I believe your superior colleague firefire the PDP guy can put you through who he is since you are new to the wailing job on nairaland

And also I think I am entitled to my opinion ....so how is my opinion a bother to you

Opine yours peacefully and leave mine alone.

You choose to call him a thief now but did not when he was in APC... Its your opinion and your cup of tea....you can drink it

Whatever! Rkelly is a legend! His songs are top notch!

The governor is right but for some people saying he will work for APC to deliver Buhari is a no no...

He can have a good working relationship with any federal govt..be it PDP or APC or any other party at the centre but to work for APC precisely in terms of bringing back to power is out of it.

The mindset of the people are locked down for Obi in Anambra

ndat:
don't even border Atiku is going no where... with Buhari our common wealth is safe.

Don't come here to complain about how tough the economy is.....like as if Buhari is a saint abi?

You will be alright las las
