The president can only sack the CJN only when such have been found to be truly foul of the law by the NJC.Buhari is a tyrannt.

socialmediaman:
Does the President have the power to suspend the Chief Justice of Nigeria? Does the president have the exclusive right to hire and fire without constitutional provisions to be fulfilled?

Here is what the constitution says:

he just did that any question?

Re: Does The President Have The Constitutional Power To Suspend The Chief Justice? by Dee60: 6:22pm On Jan 25, 2019

Senate goes on leave.

CJN refuses to attend NJC meeting, possibly on suspicion they might suspend him over allegation of stupendous wealth that he cannot account for.

Presidency can no longer swallow it and takes a step to suspend the CJN anyway.

There cannot be a vacuum, so an ACTING CJN is appointed and sworn in!

They possibly took a cue from Jonathan who once sacked a CBN Governor without Senate approval. That sack stood, in spite of all the hues and cries!

Expect the arguments - CJN was not removed, he was only suspended pending investigations.

The PEOPLE OF NIGERIA can use their PVC now to do the right thing - Sack APDPC. Sack Butiku!

Buhari, go and rest.

Atiku, we dont want you.

Olawepo, Oby, Moghalu, Sowore and Durotoye - You have your best chance to team up to offer Nigeria a good alternative.

No need to fight on the streets. Just use your PVC rightly. Sack the entire old brigade, from OBJ to the least of them.
