Did you just say that you are a lawyer? I'm ashamed of you if truly you are a lawyer. You must be one of those hausaFulani lawyers that always got southern mercenaries to write exams for them.
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

Section 1 of the Constitution does not say any word not recognized by the Constitution is null and void, it say if any law is inconsistent... Suspension is not found in the Constitution, so I get why you want to equate it to removal, but it's not up to you...it is for the court to use its discretion to decide... But i assure you, if a court is faced with this, he will not rely on that section...

Do you know there is a section for the removal of a senator, but none for the suspension of a senator, but do you know senator Ali Ndume was suspended?
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?

Maybe you don't know the law, but let a lawyer guide you... The interpretation Act gives the president the power to suspend the CJN


Check section 11 of the Interpretation Act... When you read it say hi, cause you people blow too much trumpets on issues you know nothing about... Just cause you hate Buhari is not an excuse to be irrational
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

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.

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)

does the interpretation act supercede the constitution?

The NJC recommends, and the president appoints

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

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

By our law, the most Senior judge of the supreme Court becomes CJN by default

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.

You are confusing yourself , Senators can be suspended by the Senate committee not by the Presidency or Executive arm of Government

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
