I Was First To Prove Onnoghen Has Money He Can't Explain- Sowore by Nobody: 1:57am On Jan 24, 2019
Omoyele Sowore, presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), says he was the first person to expose Walter Onnoghen, the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), as possessing accounts containing unexplainable funds.

Sowore said this on Wednesday night while featuring at a town-hall meeting tagged 'TheCandidates', broadcast live on the Nigeria Television Authority (NTA) with the support of MacArthur Foundation.

He made the statement while answering a question on how his administration would tackle corruption, if elected.

He explained that for any anti-corruption war to succeed, it must be fought indiscriminately.

"There must be consequences, you know... for people to know that it is not alright to be corrupt and still get a chieftaincy title," he said.

"Look at the judiciary. Look, Nigeria has been playing around with crruption for a long time, but you know, as an individual, I have been fighting corruption for the last 12 years with SaharaReporters.

"The Chief Justice of Nigeria who is under trial now, I was the first person on SaharaReporters to put out his account that he has money that he cannot explain. Do you know what happened when I did it? The EFCC issued a statement that I was wrong. Now, when it is politically expedient, he is underoing trial."

Onnoghen is currently being tried at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) for fraudulent asset declaration, with latest revelation about his bank account detailing a series of dubious payments to the tune of bundreds of thousands of dollars.

Buhari will revert fully to 1983-84 mode if he gets his second term. I am scared as shit not because I am corrupt but because Buhari is a biased leader who doesn't understand democracy.

See, even another Presidential aspirant is now buttressing the fact that the CJN has questions to answer regarding his suspicious unexplained wealth.

Not minding that innocent individuals somewhere likely have been wickedly robbed of justice, wailers still insist Onnoghen's case should be thrown out the window.

Anyone who is against the trial of Onnoghen is even more sentimental and nepotistic than the PMB government they're condemning.

You should only be scared if you're a looter, boko haram or ipob terrorist.

With Buhari, you'll always reap what you sow.

There's a difference between HIS and IS.

Only the zombies are blind to the hypocrisy in this government. You claim to be fighting corruption while you surround yourself with criminals only to discard them when they refuse to do your bidding. Nonsense.

Too, too biased, clannish, sectional and nepotistic. He has constituted the most non-inclusive administration since Nigeria's independence.

The way PDP is supporting the CJN has buttressed the point that they love corruption, and more reason why they shouldn't be given a chance in hell to rule.

Look at them running from pillar to post to stop the trial, because they are beneficiaries of a corrupt judiciary.

This one talks anyhow, that would be his greatest undoing. He also lacks political intelligence, always saying the things he should not be saying and keeping quiet to the things he should be saying.

It was PDP that corrupted our judiciary, so they're not just beneficiaries alone.
