boldaslion:Bro, stop commenting on issues you know nothing about... You don't know the law, you are not a lawyer... So shhhhhhhh. Assignment - check section 11 of the Interpretation Act and then tell me if Buhari cannot suspend the CJN |

Vrengkat:This is different. We’re talking about the head of the executive branch suspending the head of another branch of government. What section of the constitution empowers him to do that? |

socialmediaman:Toh, let me burst your bubble, was saving this for last Assignment - check section 11 of the Interpretation Act and then tell me if Buhari cannot suspend the CJN |

Vrengkat:the interpretation act is help you understand the Interpretation of the main constitution should be.The interpretation act cannot nullify the meaning of the main constitution. what the interpretation says is that the president can appoint where the main constitution says appoint;remove where it says remove or suspend where the main constitution says suspend. no where in the main constitution does it say the president can suspend the CJN and the interpretation act shows remove.the president can only suspend as mentioned in the interpretation act on his ministers of his cabinet or any officials because the main constitution says so |

Vrengkat:I know you will deliberately avoid the question. If you are sure of yourself, kindly post what the Nigeria 1999 constitution says about appointment of a new or acting CJN. |

baralatie:I am a sound lawyer bro... I get paid to know these things... The interpretation Act gets its power I think from section 388 of the Constitution, it is not null and void, even Walter knows buhari has the power to suspend him, if you want Walter, your last card is to go on the street and beg Buhari to reinstate him(he possesses this power to, under the same section 11 of the IA) |

Vrengkat:does the interpretation act supercede the constitution? |
| Re: See Why Buhari’s Suspension Of Chief Justice Is Illegal by Vrengkat(m): 12:57am On Jan 26, 2019 |
erosimo:The NJC recommends, and the president appoints |
| Re: See Why Buhari’s Suspension Of Chief Justice Is Illegal by Vrengkat(m): 12:59am On Jan 26, 2019 |
baralatie:Surely not... But if the act was inconsistent, it would have been null and void... But it is a well valid drafted document till today |
| Re: See Why Buhari’s Suspension Of Chief Justice Is Illegal by baralatie(m): 1:04am On Jan 26, 2019 |
Vrengkat:the interpretation act is consistent with the main constitution therefore if the main constitution says remove you cannot introduce suspension because suspension is not consistent with the main constitution. thereby the president cannot evoke suspension order from any where |
| Re: See Why Buhari’s Suspension Of Chief Justice Is Illegal by erosimo(m): 1:08am On Jan 26, 2019 |
Vrengkat:[b][/b] so, who now recommended Tanko, the acting CJN ![]() |
| Re: See Why Buhari’s Suspension Of Chief Justice Is Illegal by Vrengkat(m): 1:21am On Jan 26, 2019 |
baralatie:Dude... Were are you getting this interpretation from? Quote it |
| Re: See Why Buhari’s Suspension Of Chief Justice Is Illegal by baralatie(m): 1:23am On Jan 26, 2019 |
Vrengkat:did you see suspension of CJN in the main constitution |
| Re: See Why Buhari’s Suspension Of Chief Justice Is Illegal by Vrengkat(m): 1:23am On Jan 26, 2019 |
erosimo:By our law, the most Senior judge of the supreme Court becomes CJN by default |
| Re: See Why Buhari’s Suspension Of Chief Justice Is Illegal by baralatie(m): 1:24am On Jan 26, 2019 |
Vrengkat:was he recommended by the NJC? |
| Re: See Why Buhari’s Suspension Of Chief Justice Is Illegal by erosimo(m): 1:31am On Jan 26, 2019 |
Vrengkat:without the recommendation you stated earlier? I can't help it but to laugh. can you now see that Buhari really goofed |
| Re: See Why Buhari’s Suspension Of Chief Justice Is Illegal by Vrengkat(m): 1:40am On Jan 26, 2019 |
baralatie:There Is no main Constitution, just constitution... Every other law compliments(completes) it... As not everything is captured by it |
| Re: See Why Buhari’s Suspension Of Chief Justice Is Illegal by baralatie(m): 1:43am On Jan 26, 2019 |
Vrengkat:what is not captured will change the meaning of the constitution? |
| Re: See Why Buhari’s Suspension Of Chief Justice Is Illegal by Vrengkat(m): 1:44am On Jan 26, 2019 |
erosimo:What are you talking about... The position of CJN cannot be empty... The moment he suspended walter, he has to swear in the most Senior as acting, that is the law... Don't know why u laughing |

Vrengkat:SUSPENDED BY WHO? HIS COLLEAGUES ! |
| Re: See Why Buhari’s Suspension Of Chief Justice Is Illegal by Vrengkat(m): 1:51am On Jan 26, 2019 |
baralatie:God... Your mind is really made up... Sha, I have spread the truth... Hate is all that is driving right now, not rationality |
| Re: See Why Buhari’s Suspension Of Chief Justice Is Illegal by Vrengkat(m): 1:52am On Jan 26, 2019 |
sevenhundred:Assignment - check section 11 of the Interpretation Act and then tell me if Buhari cannot suspend the CJN |
| Re: See Why Buhari’s Suspension Of Chief Justice Is Illegal by baralatie(m): 2:07am On Jan 26, 2019 |
Vrengkat:youbsaid the interpretation act is consistent with constitution. you now came again to saw not all parts are captured in the constitution what is not captured is it to change the meaning of the constitution since it has to be consistent. if that is the case you cannot use the interpretation act unlawfully to enforce the unenforceable that does not exist in the constitution. That is,you can not enforce suspension where it does not exist in the constitution |

If the chief judge can be suspended, that means the president can be suspended. |
| Re: See Why Buhari’s Suspension Of Chief Justice Is Illegal by Whiteangel1234: 4:53am On Jan 26, 2019 |
Vrengkat:. You are confusing yourself , Senators can be suspended by the Senate committee not by the Presidency or Executive arm of Government |
| Re: See Why Buhari’s Suspension Of Chief Justice Is Illegal by Vrengkat(m): 6:47am On Jan 26, 2019 |
Whiteangel1234:You are making my point for me, were the Constitution does not state a particular thing, you can rely on other laws to compliment... We have section 11 which compliments and state that the president can suspend the CJN |
| Re: See Why Buhari’s Suspension Of Chief Justice Is Illegal by Vrengkat(m): 7:00am On Jan 26, 2019 |
baralatie:Bro, ur defence is not a defence... You can't fault the IA it gives meaning and buttresses the constitution... The Constitution can't capture everything |
| Re: See Why Buhari’s Suspension Of Chief Justice Is Illegal by baralatie(m): 7:34am On Jan 26, 2019 |
Vrengkat:you cannot introduce something that the constitution does not recognise.it is that simple |
| Re: See Why Buhari’s Suspension Of Chief Justice Is Illegal by baralatie(m): 7:38am On Jan 26, 2019 |
Vrengkat:does the word suspension of a the CJN compliment the removal of the CJN in the constitution |
| Re: See Why Buhari’s Suspension Of Chief Justice Is Illegal by Vrengkat(m): 7:57am On Jan 26, 2019 |
baralatie:I know why you write like this... U already hate Buhari to the point that you can't see reasons... I don't get paid to do this(doing it to educate parasites of fake news) have to stop here... If you are educated and not just here cause of your hate for buhari, you will know that the president has the power to suspend the CJN by section 11 of the IA |
