Buhari Wasn’t Aware Of Onnoghen’s Trial Until Saturday, Says Osinbajo by Nobody: 12:40pm On Jan 16, 2019
President Muhammadu Buhari only got to know about the trial of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, at the Code of Conduct Tribunal on Saturday, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has stated.

He also expressed sadness over the trial of the National President of Nigerian Bar Association, Paul Usoro (SAN).

The PUNCH reported that while the CJ had been scheduled to face trial at the CCT over the non-declaration of assets, Usoro is standing trial by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on account of payments received from Akwa Ibom governor for job done.

The Federal Government has, meanwhile, ordered the discontinuation of Onnoghen’s arraignment.

While absolving Buhari of pre-arranging the trial of Onnoghen for non declaration of assets, Osinbajo said Buhari never had any fact of financial misdemeanor involving the CJN until Saturday evening.

He expressed regrets that the CJN had to go through the process. He, however, said Buhari had issued specific instructions that anti-graft institutions should be allowed to do their jobs without any interference.

The Vice President made these clarifications in Abuja on Wednesday during a one-day conference organised by Online Publishers Association of Nigeria, with the theme: “Free Press and objective reporting in the 2019 election year.”

He said, “I must tell you in clear terms that, for President Muhammadu Buhari, his whole approach is that institutions should just do their work.

“I can tell you for a fact that he did not even know about this (CJN trial) until Saturday evening. I don’t feel good about it that senior members of my profession are being tried.



“He did not even know that there was going to be any kind of trial until Saturday evening.

“He had said categorically, ‘Don’t interfere with whatever institutions are doing.’

Sometimes, it has consequences such as we have today, such that people say, ‘How can such an important person be subjected to trial without the Federal Government?’

“But I can tell you without any equivocation that he (Buhari) was not aware.”

When will Buhari take responsibility for one thing, if the president is not aware of what is happening in his government then there's more to it. I pray bokoharam won't finish the entire northeast residents before he becomes aware.

Re: Buhari Wasn’t Aware Of Onnoghen’s Trial Until Saturday, Says Osinbajo by Racoon(m):
What rubbish! What lifelessness! What an insult on the sensibility of reasonable Nigerians. undecided Nigeria is a monumental joke under this rudderless Buhari-led APC government.

So who is in charge? Of course the presidency cabal. Why havent Buhari address the nation over these developments? This is simply because they always have a willing stooge to do the dirty work.

The only thing left is for these idiots to deny they ever ruled Nigerian.Zombies you see your lives again? And the NASS insulted Nigerians by not impeaching this idiots?

Here the VP just told us that the presidency does not want to interfere with the works of the Police, the EFCC, the ICPC, the CCT, etc and people here are still asking;

*why was he not aware?
*is he aware of anything?
*who is in charge?

Dumb people,; in a sane society institutions do not need to take permission from the C in C to do their jobs.


The problem with Buhari is that he is trying to run a country of abnormal people in a normal way.

As usual, the north will always use the yorubas to polish their image, Femi Adesina comes to mind when its about polishing Buhari's Image after he is done messing up, today we have the VP of Nigeria who is A SAN polishing the image of a lifeless dullard without WAEC certificate. undecided

-\FAKE Lie, Bokhary is aware of the ongoing trial, he just decided to soft pedal when he found out he furcked up and couldn't handle the controversy........he had to send Osinbande to douse tension, who takes such a risk to try a whole CJN without executive orders , with Mr. Aghanya a close associate of The president used as a front
