President Muhammadu Buhari ha queried two of his ministers – Rotimi Amaechi and Ogbonnaya Onu – over allegations that they tried to influence the outcome of Supreme Court rulings on the election appeals for Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Abia, Ebonyi and Ekiti States.

The president, according to Thisday report, ordered the query following the spread of allegations that the duo approached Supreme Court justices to influence the court to deliver favourable judgments for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the election appeals from Rivers, Abia, Ebonyi, Ekiti and Akwa Ibom States.

Presidency sources revealed that during the Chief Justice Of Nigeria (CJN’s) meeting with Buhari last month on the arrest of seven judges by the Department of State Security (DSS), Justice Mohammed reportedly orally informed the president of the attempt to induce the judges.

He told Buhari that his ministers, among others, alleged that they were acting on the instruction of the president.

Ok

"Buhari queries", but if it were the judges, the headlines would have been "DSS invades"

Yet he is fighting corruption, who is he deceiving.

I guess there's no need for query since zombies like you never believed the judges in the first place... double standard zombies... they don't deserve queries they deserved sacked if the corruption fight is serious... if the judges can be suspended then they should be suspeneded also

IS IT NOT BETTER THAT WE EVEN HAVE A "QUERY"/ WHAT IF HE REFUSES TO EVEN ISSUE THE QUERY IN THE FIRST PLACE? HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN AMAECHI, ONU, FAYEMI ETC SPONSORED AND FINANCE HIS CAMPAIGN IN 2015/ THESE ARE SACRED COWS MY FRIENDS. WOULD BE SURPRISED IF HE SACKS THEM

Fingers crossed for now, waiting for result

when will he suspend them like he asked the NJC to suspend the judges

That is not the needful now but outright suspension like that of the NJC to allow a wholistic unbiased investigation.Anything short of that is unacceptable.Fighting corruption my foot.

I actually agrees with you, these guys should be suspended for proper probe to be conducted
