Buhari is a Hitler. No matter what his evil plans are...he will be surely sent back to Daura or the Hague to answer for his crimes.

Anybody still supporting this administration is a goat.

One wonders why a reasonable person will continue to support this administration that is full of division, nepotism, corruption, lifelessness, economic meltdown, and other ills of a society.

The CCT or the Supreme Court itself cannot give an order suspending or removing a judge. It has no such powers. The constitution is CLEAR on how a judge can be removed or suspended even when they CONTRAVENE code of conduct: through recommendation of the NJC or 2/3 majority of Senate.

Moreover, this same CCT has bee ordered to stay proceedings by a superior court- the Court of Appeal.

Good try.
You are ignorant my friend, very ignorant.

But the CCT never gave an order to suspend the CJN. They only advised that he step aside. And if he had obeyed and step aside, then the president can, on the recommendation of the NJC, appoint the next ranking judicial officer.

I guess the president didn't fully comprehend the CCT order. The CCT never directed the presidency to suspend the CJN, they only advised the CJN to step aside by his own accord.

Buhari my guy..

Problem - CORRUPTION

What does cut the head of the snake mean?

A very comparable idiom is "to cut the head off the snake" It means to stop a larger problem by aiming at the source - often the leader, or a major culprit. The implication is that the rest of the problem will naturally die off without that source.

Three arms of Govt - Executive, Judiciary and the Legislature.

- Senate President - Leader of the Legislative Arm of Govt - Saraki
- CJN, Leader of the Judiciary - Onnoghen
- Executive . President Buhari

@POLITICSNGR The suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Nkanu Onnoghen has elicited a lot of reactions from Nigerians today with many contesting that it was against the law and some others saying otherwise. PoliticsNGR has now gone into the law books to examine what the constitution stipulates on the Removal of the Chief Justice of Nigeria. Surprisingly, the Law make no clear distinction between the removal and Suspension of the CJN as both terms have very different meanings. We gathered that Section (292) of the Nigerian constitution expantiates on the removal of certain public officials including the CJN. However, there is no distinction between a suspension and permanent removal. It States; “A judicial officer shall not be removed from his office or appointment before his age of retirement except in the following circumstances; (a) in the case of – "Chief Justice of Nigeria, President of the Court of Appeal, Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Chief Judge of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Grand Kadi of the Sharia Court of Appeal of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja and President, Customary Court of Appeal of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, by the President acting on an address supported by two-thirds majority of the Senate.” (ii) Chief Judge of a State, Grand Kadi of a Sharia Court of Appeal or President of a Customary Court of Appeal of a State, by the Governor acting on an address supported by two-thirds majority of the House of Assembly of the State, Praying that he be so removed for his inability to discharge the functions of his office or appointment (whether arising from infirmity of mind or of body) or for misconduct or contravention of the Code of Conduct; (b) in any case, other than those to which paragraph (a) of this subsection applies, by the President or, as the case may be, the Governor acting on the recommendation of the National Judicial Council that the judicial officer be so removed for his inability to discharge the functions of his office or appointment (whether arising from infirmity of mind or of body) or for misconduct or contravention of the Code of Conduct." Thus, a serving Chief Justice of Nigeria can only be removed from office by the president after at least two-thirds majority members of the Senate declare support for the move, but in this case, it is a suspension. https://politicsngr.com/law-stipulates-removal- chief-justice-nigeria/

The CCT never said the President should suspend the CJN. It only said the CJN should step aside and the president should appoint someone else next in rank as a replacement to prevent a vacuum in the judiciary.

In this case, the CJN refused to step aside. So that means there is no vacuum. So I wonder why the president will go ahead and swear in someone else when the CJN has not step aside.

I guess Buhari has comprehension issues.
You are the one cannot comprehend. How will the President swear in a an interim CJN if Onnoghen doesn't step aside or suspended? Baba Buhari I love you.

In your porous sense, how is the bolded possible without sack or suspension?
That's the best practice the world over
The bolded is possible without sack or suspension. It's possible if the person resigns or steps aside. And that was what the CCT requested for in this case.

with who? For over 16years CJN has always being from the North,

Now that our own person have entered there the tribalist president doesn't like it. Buhari is wasting his time. Nigerian constitution is clear on how to remove a CJN
Did you hear yourself...our own person indeed. Is he the one feeding you and your family?

He is corrupt and was removed. Period!

What do you mean by 'Buhari is wasting his time'?.........Onnoghen is gone.

CJN position is based on seniority so your talk of '16 years' bla bla makes no sense at all.

Are you a professor of law? Sagay and Osinbajo are.

I heared u well. May be u dnt understand the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria upon which all other laws derive their source. The ccb or cct is a direct creation of the constitution to hear matter of this kind, of course no other court orders can stop the proceedings of the cct cos is different from the regular court of law. However justice danladi gave an order on Wed. 23 dat onnoghen shud step outside tI'll the completion of trial, that exactly where the president has the power to effect the suspension, take note suspension not removal, cos in the eyes of the law suspension is different from removal. Ok

Please don't say we had you do not know.

The CCT has powers equal to a Federal high court. It is not a special court. There are no special courts in Nigeria. It is bound to obey the order of superior court. The Appeal court is clearly superior to it.

In fact, the chairman of CCT 2 days ago clearly said what I just wrote above himself.

Again, plzz don't say want you don't know again

The order of the COA suspended all activities and orders of the CCT.

By the way, the CCT does not even have the powers to suspend any judge at any point. So that point is even null.

If we can't move beyond this, I think I will pass. Can't continue to do back and forth that is meaningless.
