They will still cry wolf.

Members of the recently inaugurated election tribunal were constituted by Walter Onnoghen before he was suspended under controversial circumstances as the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), PREMIUM TIMES has learnt.

The acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Ibrahim Muhammed, appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari, inaugurated 250 members of the presidential and national assembly elections tribunal on Saturday.
The presidential and the national assembly elections will hold on February 16.

Mr Buhari is seeking re-election for a second term. His main challenger is Atiku Abubakar, a wealthy businessman and former vice president of Nigeria.

Mr Onnoghen, who is facing trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal for alleged false declaration of assets, had announced his plan to inaugurate the tribunal. He was suspended a day before the inauguration.

The members of the tribunal “are the same, no difference,” the Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court, Hadizatu Mustapha, told PREMIUM TIMES Sunday morning, when asked if the names of the inaugurated members were different from the ones constituted by the suspended CJN.

The opposition has accused Mr Buhari of paving way for the rigging of the forthcoming elections, with the suspension of Mr Onnoghen.

Both Mr Onnoghen’s suspension and the inauguration of the tribunal by the acting CJN, Mr Muhammed, have been rejected by the opposition and several Nigerians who are concerned about the independence of the judiciary and the fate of constitutional democracy in the country.

There have been calls for the impeachment of President Buhari.

SIRTee15:
I weep for my Yoruba brethren.....
I don't know if this is as a result of hunger or 2023 hope of a Yoruba president....
Either way we no longer the sophisticated tribe we claim to be....

Yoruba are not like other tribes in Nigeria. We retrospect and compare. Go to south west you will realise PMB need more than this

So?

Built2last:
Let me clear something up: Don't abuse the Yoruba for this present darkness enveloping us. You expect them to withdraw their support for Buhari you said? How many of them are supporting him? The umbrella body of the Yoruba, the pan Yoruba cultural association, Afenifere, refused to endorsed Buhari because of anti democratic tendencies and his refusal to embark on restructuring.
The only person galvanizing support for Buhari is Tinubu, who is a member of the APC just like persons from my state of Cross River such as Victor Ndoma Egba, Obono Obla, or Rivers State like Rotimi Amaechi or Chris Ngige.
Every state from Bayelsa to Sokoto has representatives in Buhari's government irrespective of how influential the position is.
What I am saying is, let's stop using collective noun to demonize a section of a country and blaming them for this tyranny. Yes, of all the Southern regions, Buhari has his biggest support from the zone but those who should rather be blamed are those who left PDP to bring him on board. That was where the problem came from.
But it's no time for that now, it's time for solution.

You have natural problem.

Two rally in a state.
APC is not joking.
Ibadan and Oyo city.

We're busy campaigning they're busy protesting

President Buhari cannot be "dictator" and "tyrant" and at the same time "clueless" and "not in charge." You guys should try and make your propaganda reasonable. You cannot be scoring own goals in your own pitch every now and then.

SalamRushdie:
these lawyers don't even know their work ....Reinstate who or what? was Justice Onnoghen even ever removed? hell No

what is this one saying

Corruption fighting back heavily

ChiefAzubuike:
I have a feeling Buhari will not be alive to witness the forthcoming elections. He is living on borrowed time.

The last pastor that said that died a terrible death

Corruption fighting back heavily.
It shall still fail.
But they're just barking like toothless bulldog

SalamRushdie:
Onnoghen should carry on with his duties today as the Constitution is clear on who the CJN is and who the pretender is . Tanko is ONLY CJN in Buhari imagination and not reality

Many of you will come here on nairaland and be speaking gibberish

Baba Buhari is wicked.
Put PDP in dilemma and continue to smile at home.

I wonder oo

What you did to your party is another clear evidence of corruption

She's like PDP

Corruption shall be curtailed in our dear nation
