The tyrant has lost it after the unprecedented humiliation dished out to him in the South East yesterday....

He is no longer taking chances ...Electoral humiliation is staring him in the face....

But he has made a fatal/false move...

Nigeria will boil if it comes out to be true


But buhari doesn't have such power



Who told that the President do not have power to suspend CJN? Can you quote the section of the constitution that backs your claim?

It’s game over for Onnoghen. This is what happens when corrupt and partisan judges populate the bench. He can now go and register officially as a PDP member. Better still, he can open a law firm and represent Wike in all his legal battles. Good riddance to a nonsense jurist.
You are ignorant of so much. If only you know

Wrong move. Get ready for the impact.


There is no impact bro. Onnoghen is gone already. We need to clear partisan judges from our judiciary.

Did the Senate recommended the Suspension of Ayo Salami before he was suspended by Jonathan?



oga, go and check the constitution clearly for the procedures of installing and removing the cjn. a recommendation must either come from the senate or from the national judicial council, please don't argue foolishly.

Bashir Amad and Sagay are the one ruling Nigeria, we need to go our ways, enough is enough of cattle headers flexing Niger Delta oil money and still exclude them from government

And Sagay is from Niger Delta. Itsekiri , from an oil producing area.

So what's your point?

It was at this point I knew Onnoghen would go down today. His actions were too predictable and desperate for a CJN. what a sad way to be remembered

Don't be an ignorant fellow. Read.


The CJN holds office at the pleasure of the Nigerian constitution and can only be removed from office by death or on attainment of age 70 whichever occurs first or by impeachment by the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria which requires a super majority of the members of the Nigerian Senate.
Of course and that same constitution says you must declare all your assets before you assume the position of the CJ?if not a crime has been committed.

trust me I am just one of those who believe PDP should never be an option again.
Not a fan of pdp. I juat want genuine change sarting with removing buhari and only atiku is capable

My prayer is remove buhari, remove atiku after 4years and hopefully a sowore or kingsley moghalu or a serious revolution.

Pdp is apc and apc is pdp. This animals are one
See jim nwobodo for pdp to apc and now back to pdp.

I repeat they are one. You guys should stop deceiving yourselves and other naive ones. Saying pdp is the issue as if those in pdp are not currently in apc.

Tell us something we don't know.
Was the CJN PDP hope of snatching power illegally at the tribunals after the election this year?

There is something fishy about the way PDP cry over this man even with all the evidence.

Bro, so you support the way the president has leaned over 100% to the northern part? So all credible persons are from that zone? This is my pain not the election really.

For all who are wailing. The CJN is an appointee of the FG and the same FG holds the right to fire at will.

Take it out with our constitution.

Buhari is not a dullard.

Good riddance to a corrupt Judiciary
The cjn is not an appointee of the president!!!! His role is only to comfirm. NJC is the only body vested with the power to recommend. The NJC is the only body vested with the power to suspend a judge. Unless there is a new law hitherto unknown the president men are relying on, this is bullcrap. this one is not Buhari doing but his men: the cabal!!

For once Buhari has acted like a man! Obasanjoesc style!!

*Saraki played them all to become SP, Buhari sat aloof.
*Wike and Fani Kayode have been threatening the FG for 4 years, he sat aloof.
*Secondus has been threatening he sat aloof.

Sometimes you have to do what you have to do.


Obj did it a million times.
Gej did it with Salami and Amaechi.

Kudos PMB.
