The strident opposition to Justice Onnoghen’s suspension coming from the opposition PDP led by its presidential candidate, Alh. Atiku Abubakar again points to their penchant for anything corrupt & criminal.

We must ask ourselves these questions, why was Justice Onnoghen suspended? What are the charges against him? It is on the basis of this, we had expected lPDPNig Atiku and their agents to assess the President’s action.
3. Justice Onnoghen was accused of non declaration of assets -- a requirement by law for every public officer. While under investigations, other transactions have been traced to Justice Onnoghen’s personal accounts, all undeclared as required by law.
4. Justice Onnoghen has personally admitted to this in writing claiming that he made a “mistake” and “forgot” to declare his disrepute

5. In the spirit of good conscience, integrity, character & general conduct expected of occupants of public office, we are of the strong position that Justice Onnoghen should have resigned immediately to face his trial after his confession & spare the Judiciary further disrepute

6. Justice Onnoghen did not. This in itself smells mischief. Justice Onnoghen fought to keep himself as CJN by all means possible, thereby fighting the same constitution that he swore to protect.
7. lPDPNig & Atiku is reminded that Justice Onnoghen is not entitled to special treatment. Such entitlement being canvassed by the PDP & Atiku is alien to our laws & not in tandem with our cardinal objective of fighting against corruption & our overall Change Agenda.

8. Why are the PDPNig and Atiku worried?

We have read the PDP and Atiku’s responses to the President’s action with shock albeit with a feeling of vindication. Their responses portray the Nigeria they wish for.
9. A Nigeria where the rich & powerful are above the law; a Nigeria riddled with corruption and disregard for set down rules and laws as enshrined in the constitution; a Nigeria where institutions of government are manipulated and exploited for the benefit of a few privileged.

10. For one, the Rivers State Governor, @GovWike hold on Justice Onnoghen and a few others in the Judiciary is well-known. This was their trump card to hijack power post-election.

11. It is clear that Justice Onnoghen's suspension has devastated lPDPNig as their plans to get back to power through the "cash and carry" justice system they put in place during their unfortunate 16 years reign is in serious jeopardy.
12. In citing the election tribunals as reason for Justice Onnoghen’s suspension, has Atiku given himself away on his now busted plot to use the tribunals to steal the people’s mandate in the presidential election he knows he will lose?

Onnoghen's suspension did not follow due process.

The rush was just to put a corrupt man to be as acting CJ

All your points are as useless as ever

Anyway, remain Atikulated.

Espirit de corps.

Due process was followed.

The body which could investigate him was headed by him. Using his power of office, he postponed indefinitely their sitting, forcing the CCT to invoke an order through the executive.

Since then, a court of appeal has given credence to his trial by the CCT.

Not all friend. After the FG foresee that the injunctions are being used to block the CCT which is usual for every fighter, they hoped that through the meeting which was to be held that the CJ would be suspended but again, they were beaten there only to forcefully suspend him.

This govt does not know the rule of law hence we need Atiku to restore sanity to the government

Because Danladi Umar has a case with EFCC and is still the Chairman of CCT, and Buhari did not resign when he has his certificate scandal but hired SANs to defend him instead of simply producing the certificate.


Rubbish.

God bless you

Because we have a law which spelt out methods of doing things in this country and PDP obeys and respects that law. They do not support illegality hence their opposition to the President illegality.

APC and Buhari should respect and follow rule of law. Dats all.

No you are wrong, since the NJC meeting was suspended Buhari should have gone through the Senate if he were sincere since the Constitution does not give him the powered to suspend or sack the CJN,. That is were he goofed big time, revealing to the world that he has some hideous motives for his actions.

Well some foolish individuals may still want to argue that the head of Nass is not in good terms with the failure in Assso rocky, but that's what democracy is all around, it is called freedom, and that's why as a President you don't fight with everyone at the same time.

The act of the failure in Assso rocky is absolutely tyrannical and no sane mind will applaud it

Let's call a spade a spade..bubu is not use to this democracy stuff..He is missing those military days, you can just give order from no where without consulting.

Till the constitution is amended we should learn to abide by it and stop looking for excuse to break it..

If there is any issue of national importance that needs the senate attention, then the president will write to the senate.

Then the senate will convene to look at the presidents request.. Bro let's leave it like this..I prefer discussion that argument..

So the senate doesn't think this is of urgent national importance?

They need only the prompting of the president to do so?

Even now, have they convened over it?

The budget that is way more important, minimum wage matter, they haven't even thought worthy.

The Chief Justice of Nigeria is the head and symbol of authority of the Nigerian Judiciary. The Judiciary is neither an agency of the federal government nor a department in the Executive.

It is one of the three Arms of Government and is established by Section 6 of the Constitution.

The CJN is to the judicial arm of government what the President is to the executive arm.

The three arms are co-equals and none is subservient to the other.

The President cannot appoint or remove the CJN unilaterally.

The Constitution has explicitly stated the procedure for the appointment and removal of the CJN and no court, tribunal, president or other authority or person in Nigeria can derogate from, override or alter the said procedure.

By Section 231 (1) and (2) of the Constitution, the appointment of the CJN requires the compulsory involvement of the three arms of government. The President appoints the CJN on the recommendation of the National Judicial Council (NJC) subject to the approval of the Senate.

The CJN as a judicial officer can only be removed from office by the President acting on an address supported by two thirds majority of the Senate for his inability to discharge the functions of his office or appointment (whether arising from infirmity of mind or body) or for misconduct or contravention of the Code of Conduct. Anything contrary to this procedure is unconstitutional.

You in another post claimed Legislative and executie should be independent, yet you want the executive to write the legislative to do its job

The budget that was sent to judiciary in November 2017 was not passed till June/July 2018

Do you think budget is not of national importance? Yet the same Senate delayed the budget which determines projects and salary of 170M people for over 7months

So sending CJN to them will take another 7months.

The president used the tool at his disposal to ensure speedy conclusion and the CJN took him to court which looks like he lost

A.P.C. hoodwink well-meaning Nigerians. Our expectations inclines to the inevitability of a new era that will ultimately dispel the raging storms of conflicts across the country from the brigandage of the Fulani herdsmen to the Boko haram
apc has failedBuhari is the new Father Christmas in town!
First, he gave Guinea Bissau $500,000 last week, and he has now approved a grant of 1 billion dollar for Sudan to enable them fight famine.
This is a country that can't pay 30k naira minimum wage. A country that has been designated as the poverty capital of the world fighting poverty in another land.
A country that has been borrowing and even trying to sell of its assets to finance a budget is giving to another country.
A country that doesn't suffer famine, but its citizens are very hungry.
This grant to a great extent revalidates the Jubrin saga!
BUHARILOOTER must be voted out at all cost!In a country that required urgent attention in terms of security, infrastructure and robust foreign policy, Buhari is not fit to be a district head not to talk of managing a complex nation like Nigeria.
SAI AtikuObi for prosperous Nigeria...Buhari's Days Are CERTAINLY Numbered.He Has No Idea On How He Will Be Run Over By Incoming President Atiku.Buhari is lifeless! UNITED STATES PRESIDENT "Donald Trump..we must remove the clamity called Buhari and replace him with the Atiku the person wey go unite us and make our country start to work again

They are corrupt people supporting one of their own.
