If only they will allow our votes to count...

Hmm

Sometimes I can't help but wonder if saraki is working for buhari. If not, that man should have been impeached long time ago.

Fellow Nigerians,

A short while ago, I was served with an Order of the Code of Conduct Tribunal issued on Wednesday 23rd January 2019, directing the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Honourable Justice Walter Nkanu Samuel Onnoghen from office pending final determination of the cases against him at the Code of Conduct Tribunal and several other fora relating to his alleged breach of the Code of Conduct for Public Officers.

2. The nation has been gripped by the tragic realities of no less a personality than the Chief Justice of Nigeria himself becoming the accused person in a corruption trial since details of the petition against him by a Civil Society Organization first became public about a fortnight ago.

3. Although the allegations in the petition are grievous enough in themselves, the security agencies have since then traced other suspicious transactions running into millions of dollars to the CJN’s personal accounts, all undeclared or improperly declared as required by law.

4. Perhaps more worrisome is the Chief Justice of Nigeria’s own written admission to the charges that he indeed failed to follow the spirit and letter of the law in declaring his assets, citing ’’mistake’’ and ’’forgetfulness’’ which are totally unknown to our laws as defences in the circumstances of his case.

5. One expected that with his moral authority so wounded, by these serious charges of corruption, more so by his own written admission, Mr. Justice Walter Onnoghen would have acted swiftly to spare our Judicial Arm further disrepute by removing himself from superintending over it while his trial lasted.

6. Unfortunately, he has not done so. Instead, the nation has been treated to the sordid spectacle of a judicial game of wits in which the Chief Justice of Nigeria and his legal team have made nonsense of the efforts of the Code of Conduct Tribunal to hear the allegation on merit and conclude the trial as quickly as possible considering the nature of the times in which we live.

7. Whether deliberately or inadvertently, we have all seen the full weight of the Chief Justice of Nigeria descend on the tender head of one of the organs of justice under his control. There is simply no way the officers of that court, from the Chairman to the bailiffs, can pretend to be unaffected by the influence of the leader of the Judiciary.

8. Not only the trial court, but others have been put on the spot. Practically every other day since his trial commenced, the nation has witnessed various courts granting orders and counter-orders in favour of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, all of them characterised by an unholy alacrity between the time of filing, hearing and delivery of judgment in same.

9. The real effect has been a stalling of the trial of Justice Onnoghen, helped along by lawyers who insist that these orders, whether right or wrong are technically valid, and must be obeyed till an appellate Court says otherwise. No doubt, that it is the proper interpretation, but is it the right disposition for our nation?

10. Nigeria is a constitutional democracy and no one must be, or be seen to be, above the law. Unfortunately, the drama around the trial of the Chief Justice of Nigeria has challenged that pillar of justice in the perception of the ordinary man on the street. For it is certain that no ordinary Nigerian can get the swift and special treatment Justice Onnoghen has enjoyed from his subordinates and privies in our Judicature.

11. In the midst of all these distracting events, the essential question of whether the accused CJN actually has a case to answer has been lost in the squabble over the form and nature of his trial. This should not be so.

12. If Justice cannot be done and clearly seen to be done, society itself is at risk of the most unimaginable chaos. As a Government, we cannot stand by wailing and wringing our hands helplessly but give our full backing and support to those brave elements within the Judiciary who act forthrightly, irrespective of who is involved.

13. As you are all aware, the fight against corruption is one of the tripod of policies promised to Nigerians by this administration. Needless to say that it is an existential Policy which must be given adequate attention and commitment by all the three arms of government. The efforts of the Executive will amount to nothing without the cooperation of the Legislature and especially the Judiciary.

14. It is no secret that this government is dissatisfied with the alarming rate in which the Supreme Court of Nigeria under the oversight of Justice Walter Onnoghen has serially set free, persons accused of the most dire acts of corruption, often on mere technicalities, and after quite a number of them have been convicted by the trial and appellate courts.

15. Since there is nothing the Executive Arm can do after the apex court of the land has spoken on any matter, several of these individuals walk free among us today, enjoying what are clearly the proceeds of the corruption which for so long has defeated the efforts of this nation to develop and prosper.

16. It is against this background that I have received the Order of the Code of Conduct Tribunal directing me to suspend the Chief Justice pending final determination of the cases against him. It also explains why I am not only complying immediately, but with some degree of relief for the battered sensibilities of ordinary Nigerians whose patience must have become severely over-taxed by these anomalies.

17. In line with this administration’s avowed respect for the Rule of Law, I have wholeheartedly obeyed the Order of the Code of Conduct Tribunal dated 23rd January 2019.

18. Accordingly, I hereby suspend the Honourable Mr. Justice Walter Nkanu Samuel Onnoghen, GCON as the Chief Justice of Nigeria pending final determination of the case against him at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.

19. In further compliance with the same Order of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, I hereby invite Honourable Justice Ibrahim Tanko Mohammed JSC, being the next most Senior Justice in the Supreme Court, to come forward to take the Judicial Oath as Chief Justice of Nigeria in an Acting Capacity.

20. Fellow Nigerians, we can only stand a chance to win the fight against Corruption, and position our dear nation for accelerated development when we stand together to contend against it.

Thank you and may God bless our country.[/quote]E be like say the only work you get for your life na to dey comment for nairaland? Who swear for you like dis?

Lol this dude is high, shey the same senate wey dey on break till after elections?

Lol, no mind the useless pple.

Yes Buhari is corrupt and a tyrant, but it's only a fool that will think a corrupt CJN will stand a chance against a corrupt president.
A demon can't stand a chance against the devil.

If Onnoghen was an innocent man that was hanged to dry, then you expect the full support of the common man, all this will soon blow over and nothing, I repeat nothing will happen.

Go and impeach him nah, you think say na by mouth.

About Nigeria - they have beautiful people in the south , bad roads everywhere, hungry people , bad government, killer herdsmen, police men wearing jean and black shirt on bathroom slippers , the president pals countroling the country

This is why President MUHAMMADU BUHARI is the best President in the history of Nigeria.
He explained everything in details to the nation, cos he knows we deserve an explanation, a dictator will not mind who is wailing or wants to jump into the lagoon
Mr Hashim, OYO![/quote]You are a sycophant and God/Nature will reward you in due time, continue to hail wickedness, bigotism, nepotism, tyranny and failure, same fate will befall you in due time if you do not repent and publicly ask for forgiveness soonest, continue okay

The little kids above are in severe pains ooo .
You ain't seen nothing yet.
We will progress, move to the NEXT LEVEL in the country and leave you and your Cownu behind, you will see the good of the land.BUT.........

Our Democrazzy is on fire

Hashim should take a seat please.

And what should happen to the corruption judge that already admitted and still couldn't bow out.

He is no man of integrity.

All these overnight political analysts should calm down and think straight. Sowore was on #TheCandidate some days ago and revealed he was the first to report about the man's undeclared foreign currency accounts.
Moreover the man admitted to the allegations and instead of him to honourably step down he decided to flex his powers by postponing the NJC meeting indefinitely.
We never forgot he was one of the judges indicted for corruption and recommended for dismissal by the the Justice Kayode Eso Panel set up by the Sani Abacha military regime to probe incessant allegations of judicial corruption in 1994. Justice Onnoghen was then a judge in the Cross River State high court where he was accused of selling justice to the highest bidder. Luckily for Justice Onnoghen he had been promoted to the Court of Appeal when the implementation of the recommendation of the Eso Panel was carried out against only judges of high courts across the country

Sacking him should also follow due process. You don’t flout the constitution by trying to convict a “criminal”

I'm serious bro

TechtraGadgets:
Only a military coup can save Nigeria at this point

you are stupid on arrival, such a statement makes me believe, you are dented in the brain .

So this one is daft too?

franchasng:
APC & Buhari's foolish and unreasonable supporters are saying that since former President Goodluck Jonathan suspended the then CBN Governor without waiting for Senate's 2/3 votes, that Buhari have the right to also suspend the head of another arm of government under democracy.

Now, we are saying that since majority of Nigerians agreed that former President Goodluck Jonathan was wrong in some of his leadership styles, policy implementation, etc, and for that we voted him out and decided to vote in another man; Buhari to bring positive change that will change the bad and unconstitutional ways things are done in Nigeria, and that man voted into power to bring positive change decides to continue on the past path of abusing the Nigerian constitution and disobeying the laws of the Nigerian land, then it means we also need to rally together and vote out such failed president because he has also failed Nigerian peoples' great expectations from him...

...and if we try another person and he decides to fail like Buhari, we will also rally together and vote him/her out until we get it right, there is no other way to get the right leaders to occupy the right positions under democratic government if not by applying democratic rules and laws that gives the citizens the right to choose their leaders in a free, fair, credible election process.

So we only ask that President Buhari & APC allow Nigerian peoples votes to count, then we shall know truly how Nigerians feel about Buhari, that's all.

Oga must we wait for four years? What is the job of the national assembly? By the time you get to the fourth person oga that is 20 years oooo. How many years do you have left? Your mentality has seriously been abused by the ruling class.
