The Senate can't do anything. The CJN was not removed, he was merely suspended.
OK, thanks. But does the president have that right? To do it single-handedly?

He is not sacked but one would think if he is under significant criminal investigation he could be suspended pending the outcome of the investigation.

I find it funny that he can choose not to convene anNJC meeting indefinitely.
Did the Gov of Kano resign after we saw him stuff dollars collected as bribe in babariga.

There is a reason we have laws and the constitution.

If this news is true, wait for the consequences. Cos Buhari and his minions would have bought serious market.

CBN governor suspension was a complete illegality. Drunk Jona had no such powers. The fact a silly drunk president did it in his time doesn't make it legal.

Jesus Christ!
But you guys were hailing Jonathan then for a job well done because the person on the end of the stick was an Fulani man. Now the same stick is used to beat a southerner and you are complaining.

Onnoghen had no business there in the 1st place,the position of the CJ is reserved exclusively for the Hausa Fulani,President Buhari gave a Southerner a chance and he blew it,Maryam Odili will be next to be flushed out of the Supreme Court,Rogues.

The cjn is not an appointee of the president!!!! Hus role is only to comfort. 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 one is not Bihari doing but his men: the cabal!!
The NJC RECOMMENDS and the Presidency APPOINTS.

Learn the difference in both words.

He who appoints can remove.

The NJC is free to then RECOMMEND another or the next in line takes his place.

Why at this period did PMB suddenly realize that the CJN is corrupt, this looks fishy.... also, this development might ignite a new era of insecurity caused by vicious groups. It is well with Nigeria.
He's not a fool.

He had been getting reports on the rogue but took his time in taking his decision.

This is the best and the most groundbreaking move ever in the history of Nigeria.

The fact is that this cannot stand...Onoghen will never step down because Buhari or the Executive lacks the power...All three arms are independent....Just as Onoghen can't suspend Buhari or Saraki, he can't and will never be suspended.....

The only thing I see is a man simply fulfilling one of his campaign promises. Buhari swore to fight corruption. Now, he's keeping to that promise and you are wailing and calling him names. Carry on Mr President! We the sane and real patriotic Nigerians are behind you.
Buhari appointed Onnoghen as CJN and now he feels his services are no longer needed, and you are here wailing. Your employer has the right to sack you anytime he deems it necessary.

Good step in the right direction CJN can't be a judge in his own case,Justice Ayo Salami's case was not bad as that of CJN heaven never fall when GEJ suspended him and it Will not still fall this time around...

A governor has constitutional immunity, there is nothing Buhari can do even if the governor rapes his mother. It is after he his removed as governor before he can be arrested and prosecuted. A CJN has no such immunity.

Yes we have laws, but the laws are subject to different interpretations.

Are you telling us that we should burn down the country because of the suspension of the CJN?

War is strategy,National Assembly goes on recess,the executive attacks. The honest truth even the Hausa Fulanis on the Supreme Court want him out,he is never coming back.

MissingBudget:
Saraki should summon the senate. The president does not have such rights!
There are 3 arms of government who are exentially independent of each other yet in some places overlap and checkmate one another.

Buhari has the powers to give executive orders which becomes law regardless of the judiciary or senate.

He also has the powers to appoint a CJN recommended to him by the NJC. He can also reject that recommendation same way he can suspend his appointee such as the CJN is.

Note the words in bold
