Haba! Reason well before typing. Legislative suspending the executive. Seems most people don't even know how powerful the executives are. Executives are the first and most powerful arm of govt


artofseduction:
Do u even know d implications of Onoghen going just like that?

SENATE PRESIDENT can equally wake up one day , manufacture one court Order and suspend the President?

He can tell us that he was only obeying court order.

This illegality must be restricted by all.well.thinking Nigerian.

If he is guilty of any charge, the rule of law must be followed to ascertain that.

Laws are Laws, without them we are savages.

So the Olanipekun is fighting for a corrupt CJN and calls it a fight for the future of Democracy! Jokers!
The truth is both onnoghen and the people attacking him are corrupt bt now they have gone as far as to twist the constitution against an arm of government which is still subject to argument unless democracy is a stake. It’s about whose side Ure own rather that corrupt or not corrupt sadly.

And your limited knowledge didn't tell you that it's part of the function of a CJN or acting CJN to select such panel...
So after knowing that CJN or acting CJN is the one to select such panel why you BMC making it sound as if it was PMB & APC is trying not to be BIAS ..
Hypocrite at highest order.
SHAME ON YOU BMC FOR DEFENDING EVIL JUST BECAUSE OF PEANUT.

If onoghen resigns he is finished,seek which redress?,if saraki had not stood firmly he would have long been a goner,there are certainly concrete ground for onnoghen to fight his case,I would do same if I were in onnoghen's shoes.what you just said means since buhari is against onnoghen he should just go n not necessarily because he is guilty, that buhari should not be questioned no matter what!.
I never said Buhari is against Onnoghen.

It's OK for him to fight, that's why we have the court, and in his case, we have the tribunal. Unfortunately, this is a lost battle. This have nothing to do with politics. CCB and CCT is not a political set up. Going against the CCT and thinking he'd win especially when allegations are confirmed to be true, c'mon, his best option is to resign.

That should not be your concern.Allow Onnoggen to think about that.Just know that this case will be decided by the supreme court and not the CCT

That he was not part of the meeting does not mean that the meeting did not hold. He may have sanctioned it but declined to attend for strategic reasons. Besides the report that a meeting actually held is everywhere first carried by The Nation Newspaper on Thursday, then Punch, Newtelegraph of Saturday and Vanguard Newspaper of today. All these media outlets can't all be wrong at the same time.



https://www.vanguardngr.com/2019/02/presidency-in-dilemma-over-nbas-lobby-to-drop-charges-against-onnoghen/
He didn't sanction anything. He is the head of Onnoghen's legal team.

Exactly my thoughts.

If d Supreme Court fails to adress this illegality.

We can therefore say goodbye to Judiciary.

Why would he b d one to appoint judges in a matter he is a party of?
He cannot appoint the judges. The NJC has an interim chairman.

Alright since u are seeing it like that.. Then we all should have asked Buhari to step aside for not submitting his waec credentials before election..

Constitution is constitution bro. Without it, we are doomed. I wonder why kemi the ex minister didn't go to jail. In a sane country, she would av been jailed.
Kemi saved her name, all allegations were not true. She can't just continue to be the mess and she backed out.

For the President, his certificate is available to the military. The right authority have it. I understand constitution is constitution, but there's no offense committed here.

No, Kemi should have been investigated. If u are saying this, it only shows one thing. That means u are bias. If someone accused as a public office holder of something, the security agency is meant investigate it. There was forged certificate issue which has been using to earn tax payers money. It is a great crime and she should av been tried and persecuted. But no, she was aided to leave the country.

As for the president. His matter still dey court sef. They would av asked him to step aside and save his name na. Shebi he was accused and he gave an excuse abi? Alright, the case still dey court abi? Why didn't u guys ask him to step aside pending when court gives final judgment? Nigerian, we are all bias bro..

That's why you're blinded to the truth. You see tyranny and a dictator, we see someone fighting against the evil destroying this nation.

Every due process has been followed and this is entirely a case of corruption even if it wasn't. It's a height of evil for such person you rightly described as the most senior judicial officer in the land, who's expected to know the law and uphold it, intentionally go against that same law. It's a big shame that we have people like are supporting this evil.
You are misguided... nd it’s not your fault - you are probably not a lawyer, and if you are - you must be ill-trained to claim all due process have been followed; And to think you don’t know how a CJN should be suspended or removed from office will be a slap on the Nigerian Law School.

In any case - let me guide you:

The end does not justify the means.

You could probably then give guns to the police to shoot thieves at first sight - with disregard to the established trial process.

The established process for removing a court officer who is guilty of corrupt practices are there. He is the president - and he has the prerogative to follow it. No one is defending Onoghen... the lawyers are simply defending the rule of law: the constitution must be adhered to - no matter what!

You should please ask Buhari to prosecute Ganduje before you come back to talk to me. After all he is also another glaring corrupt public servant.

I have a problem with people that talks or type from general knowledge. What in law do you know?

In the constitution, is there a provision for removal and suspension? If there's what is the procedure? What recommendations should come from the senate in the case of removal? What are the role of the Justices? Don't counter my opinion if you're not well learned on this matter or you can probably go and download the constitution to help you a little.

The case we're dealing with here is a case of suspension after a CCT recommendation. Do you know the power the CCT holds? I have every information concerning this situation and I can't type amiss.

I insist that the President acknowledged the rule of law and due process was followed.

Please speak from the position of knowledge.

The question is when was the mistake admitted?

Answer: It was during the CCT investigation.

Why didn't he correct it at the CCB? He thought he could beat the system.

Don't support corruption!

The allegation against her was false, no matter how many times she cleared it, her name would be attached to the mess and she backed out.

The President case is in court not because he doesn't have the certificate but because some group of people wanted it published. That's why I said earlier that the right authorities have it.

Await the court verdict, it's just going to be another failed attempt.

Let me educate you.

In a situation where our laws re not sufficient to deal with a problem.

The best thing to do is to amend them.

The executive should not be seen as an arm of government that chooses which law dey will obey.

The Executives can equally send an amendment to the existing law to the National Assembly. And have that law ammended so that we can have such situations again.

The problem with you lot is that you lack the basic cognizance to understand the implications of lawlessness being brandished by the Executive.
So they should go and amend the law because of the CJN.. CCT trial is illegal? To kick out corrupt individual is now tagged lawlessness abi?

It's a disturbing situation. They say due process was not followed, even after the recommendations came from the CCT, what other due process do they want? We say someone is corrupt, they say Buhari is a tyrant and a dictator. It's indeed disturbing how we play with sensitive situations in this country and how we attach unnecessary and tribal sentiments to these matters.

We cannot collectively speak against evil without calling it witch hunting. If he was clean, the law is there to freed him and whole world will know it's truly witch hunting. Yet, as obvious as it is, true and confirmed allegations, some people are still supporting it. Some people are indeed confused about life.
I tell you! Very confused people.

Oh, kemi's accusations were false, says who? Which court? which investigation? You investigated and came out with this? No court has pronounced the current CJN guilty, so it was wrong for anyone to force him out. The CJN is like the president and the senate president. U dont force them out by allegation. U must follow due process. No matter how much u want to cover this, it is not right bro. It is more like some people claimed the president didnt have certificate and he said he has, but no evidence that he has, then the senate president force him out. The Judiciary is an independent arm and must be respected. Let the due process be followed, that is all we asked.
