You do realize though that you can only exercise such discretionary powers on someone who answers to you. Its a simple employee-employer relationship. The CJN does not answer to the President. Only the NJC can suspend a Judicial officer; that is clear from the principle of the separation of powers. The president does not unilaterally appoint a CJN. He receives recommendation from the NJC, vets it and if satisfied, forwards to the senate for confirmation. That's why he's relying on a purported suspension order from the CCT. Problem is, the CCT does not have the powers to recommend suspension of a Judicial officer to the president. Only the NJC can do that

Even though the interpretation act gives the president the power to suspend the CJN, PMB acted based on a very clear order of the CCT. The president cannot refuse to obey a valid court order. Onnoghen should go to court to challenge the order if he’s aggrieved.

Friend01:
Does your analogy has any backing from the constitution?

From the above sections, it is clear the president has the power to appoint, suspend and re-instate when necessary.

And as for the CJN he can't be a judge in his own case na? isn't it?
How do you expect NJC to judge and pass verdict on his chairman, the CJN?
If the CJN, I mean, the ex-CJN was for due process why is he stalling proceedings on his case at the CCT with different court injunctions?
Why?
And he is even stalling NJC from convening because he knows he has a case to answer.

However, I will wait for further interpretation on this matter because I maybe wrong in my assertion, but I think we shouldn't be hiding or aiding and abetting somebody who is clearly guilty under the name of 'following procedures.'
Let's be fair.

Buckubuck:
Clearly guilty? How did you determine that. Like I said before and I repeat, the President does not appoint the CJN. If you consider how this CJN emerged, it was pretty obvious that buhari was never comfortable with him. But because he lacked the powers to unilaterally pick a name not forwarded to him by the NJC, he kept stalling till he traveled out. It was Osinbajo who sent his name to the Senate. I'm sure if Tanko is investigated too, he'll have questions to answer. What is obvious is the president's apathy towards the present CJN which is why he developed itchy fingers in the bid to carry out the plot. FYI, CCT is directly under the presidency's supervision

Friend01:
Bros, I can't argue with you in this manner when you keep hopping from one point to another.

The argument has always been if the President has the power to suspend a CJN NOT remove as a part of his constitutional powers: this is the point.

Forget about Tanko for now, we are talking about Onnoghen. Don't use another issue to cover this one at hand.
Is Onnoghen guilty for breaching the code of conduct? of course. Because he admitted this by claiming he forgot to declare his asset.
And this is enough evidence to indict him. [/b]You don't have the standing to determine guilt. Let me educate you on how the CCB works. The first step is accused his inform of the charges against him. He then responds in writing. It is based on his response that the CCB decides whether to take the case to CCT or not. His response is not a guilty plea. Its actually his own defense. So let the case reach that stage then he'll take his plea and then you can talk about admission of guilt[b]

The questions that are begging for answers are; is Onnoghen guilty? [/b]Let the courts decide[b]
Is the CCT allowed to try him by law based on his misdemeanor ? Yes
Is the President's suspension of Onnoghen within his powers according to the law?No
You should answer these questions without bias and convince me beyond reasonable doubt that my stance are wrong.
This what I need from you.

Tetehjewels:
This CJN suspension issue and those crying foul are clearly mischief makers and in some ways may have been benefiting from the CJN and his rulings.

Attached is the Interpretation Act Chapter 192 of the Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 1990.

Kindly find attached the section 11 under Construction of Statutory powers and duties

Everyone should read it and digest it.the full link has also been provided.

And the interpretation Act supersedes the Nigeria Constitution? Which wretched uni did you attend and what did they stuff into your head while studying constitutional and perhaps administrative law?

Such a shame

Tetehjewels:
The interpretation act is to help brain dead people like you interpret the constitution.

Its clear the interpretation act cannot even help your dunderhead kind.

Such a shame
