The constitution is just a book. It can not stand up and fight for its self. If we add no value to it, its simply useless.

If you voted for Buhari in 2015 and you are disappointed at him right now, can I get a like and a share from you?
He is not perfect, i will still vote for him again. This is the kind of leader we need, Nigeria and Nigerians have been computed to be corrupt and dubious, we need someone who can fight us without fear.

What was their reaction when Ayo Salami was kicked out of office same with Lamido Sanusi.

I believe Salami was removed on the recommendation of the NJC. No?

Why are you equating it with this?

The Southern and Middle Belt Leaders forum has described the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Walter Onnoghen by President Muhammadu Buhari as a coup against constitutional democracy.

In a statement signed by Chief E K Clark (South South), Ayo Adebanjo (South West), Chief John Nwodo (South East) and Dr Pogu Bitrus (Midddle Belt), the leaders in a statement titled ‘Constitutional Crisis As Buhari Illegally Suspends CJN’ , the leaders said they have checked through the constitution and found out that President Buhari lacks the power to suspend the CJN unilaterally except by 2/3 of the National Assembly.

The statement reads: “The attention of Southern and Middle Belt Leaders has been drawn to a coup against Constitutional Democracy in Nigeria by President Muhammadu Buhari by the Suspension of CJN Walter Onnoghen this evening and swearing in a replacement.
This is a constitutional crisis foisted by desperation and morbid desire to foist rule of thumb.

“We have checked through the constitution and the President has no power to unilaterally suspend the CJN.

“Section 292 of the amended 1999 Constitution is clear that the President can only remove the CJN with 2/3 of Senate resolution.

“To us what has been done is resort to self-help after the Court of Appeal issued an order stopping the trial of the CJN by the CCT presided over by a man answering charges in court over corruption allegations but still in office.

“The latest action is a clear suspension of the constitution and enthronement of full blown dictatorship.

“We reject the illegal suspension and demand its immediate reversal.
The suspension is null and void and of no effect whatever.

“An emergency meeting of the Forum holds shortly on this total aberration.
We call on all Nigerians to wake up to the reality that our democracy is now under threat and use all constitutional means to defend it.

We must not surrender to this authoritarian rule.”

Since the CJN cannot do the needful honorably then the man of integrity can show him way out.

Baye Buhari, you just made my day.
Mr Integrity looked away when Kemi Adeosun , Gandunje, Babchir violated the law and Acted Swifty when the CJN needed to be replaced to pave way for rigging of 2019 election.

He is indeed fighting karaption!

Walter should have declared his assets, how can the chief justice not know the right things to do. He wasn't Framed or anything, they found a loophole he created, Very unbelievable from a CJN to forget to declare his foreign accounts.

As for if the president has powers, let the lawyers Tel us please.
Just imagine the nonsense you typed here. Is he the only one among the hundreds appointed by Buhari that failed to declare asset? What about his ministers and heads of agencies?

The plot here is to apply the Osun formular. Rerun first, APC declared the winner, Atiku appeals and their new man in the judiciary does their bidding. Can't you see it?.

Nigerians are too dumb and docile! That is why a group of corrupt politicians are taking every desperate steps to perpetuate themselves in power using a senile Buhari as their stooge.

The military too seems to have lost their power to put things right in situations like this. As painful as it may sound, Nigeria needs urgent military intervention at this point.
