Deepthoughts:
It's you that need to do some checkings,that section clearly states that whatever is the circumstances whether removal or suspension n for whatever reason,the Senate approval must be sought before any action can be taken against the CJ,but I see you are clearly been mischievous.

bkool7:
I see you know about constitutional matter more than the interim CJN or Ononghe that is now appearing before CCT

gare:
Most people don't know the implications of the illegal acts of the President, if it can be proved that the CJN appointment is not backed by Law, all his activities, appointments and judgments will be null and void.

Which will lead to serious judicial and constitutional issues

Xisnin:
Any constitutional provision to back up your point?
What the president believes is immaterial.

The CJN is not some terrorist threatening to nuke Nigeria and the constitution does not
allow Buhari or the CCT chairman to unilaterally remove him.

Even in the wake of 9/11 attacks in the US, the patriot act had to be enacted to give the executive the power
to take extra-constitutional actions against perceive enemies.



You have been conditioned to think of presidents as emperors who can do whatever they want.
The function of the legislatures and judiciaries is to checkmate executive powers.
Did you miss this aspect of the political class?

If the country laws allow Buhari to do whatever he wants, then there is no point paying
senators and judges for doing nothing.

You talk about foreign media as if our system of government was a result of designs and debates
by Nigerians. Every aspect of our current government is copied from the "foreigners" you probably
think are clueless.

If Buhari wants dictatorial powers, let him go to the Senate and ask for it.

It doesn't matter if the constitution doesn't forbid an action, the judiciary can rule against
such action or the lawmakers legislate against it.

I notice that you are conflating constitutional violations with human rights when they are not the
same. Of course, a constitutional violation can be a human right issue but not all human right issue
is a constitutional violation.

You probably think that Buhari's violation of the constitution is a sign that he has unlimited power.
