Onnoghen Resigned To Avoid Being Dismissed - Prof. Itse Sagay by nairavsdollars(op): 7:19pm On Apr 05, 2019
Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos

Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC) on Friday said he is not impressed by the resignation of Walter Onnoghen, former Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) as it came too late.

Sagay who said there is no value in the resignation argued that Onnoghen should have resigned since January when the charges were made against him and he admitted that he erred.

“The resignation has come too late. It was a face-saving resignation because if he had not resigned, he would have been sacked. There is no question about that. At the very best, he would have been retired if not actually dismissed”.

“There is no value in the resignation anymore. It lacks the honour and dignity that would have accompanied it if he had done it since January when the charges were made” he said.

Re: Onnoghen Resigned To Avoid Being Dismissed - Prof. Itse Sagay by Mujtahida:
The most dangerous thing is to use use law to promote injustice, use truth to promote lies, use medicine to kill, use light to blind, use knowledge to cause misunderstanding and confusion. APC has mastered propaganda and if you really are not informed you will be swindled by their self righteous grandstanding.

I pity Nigerians who do not realise that government is the greatest criminal, the greatest murderer, the greatest liar, the greatest knave who takes the instruments of law, the tools of truth to inflict harm on the citizens.

One day the injustice, the hypocrisy and lies done to Onnoghen will visit another Nigerian and those who think this is about fighting corruption will realise they've been hoodwinked but it would be too late.

There is nothing in this world that will make me remove such a woman from the government. The PDP can weep from now until there is no tear in their body; she is going to be there,” Mr Sagay said. “We cannot afford to lose that woman.”

“I’m telling you now. If you ask me – If I were President Buhari, I would never, ever touch that woman because she’s damn good,” he said. “The enemies of this government want to reduce his capacity to provide good governance by engaging in social media attacks and trying to get rid of her. It will not work.”

That's correct.
That's the procedure in the first world countries.
But in Nigeria, anything goes.

Baba onoghen Don Jappa, baba no fit gamble his retirement benefit, make PDP piglets no make am loose his retirement fund join the acumulated bribe FG wants to confisticate.

Same way PDP piglets deceived Patience Jonathan, that if FG dare touches her loot, Nigeria would collapse, oil pipeline would be vandalised and blown, Yet few months later Buhari / EFCC forfeited her $159M nothing happened, all her asset where seized including that of her foster mother and cousins, Piglets forgot her and were atikulating while she quietly licked her wound

Kwaraption fight:

Identify an officer that is not “ cooperating “

Uncover skeleton, blow it out of proportion,

Blackmail the guy, send cct after the guy,

Intimidate the guy with efcc, tarnish image with media trial, then settle out of court.

Raise Gaduje’s hand and overlook Orji Uzor Kalu

End of process

Every reasonable person in Nigeria advised him to resign since January, he bluntly refused, hoping that the corruption sanctuary called the PDP would win the presidential election and dismiss all the charges against him with an apology letter.

Such an elite legal icon.

Even the man on the street knows that this is what he would have done long time ago.

Madam Kemi did it at the right time. But he himself did the honourable thing at the wrong time.

That is the ill effect of being influenced by an external force that it's for-cast is like a doom.

The man is a chicken sheet. I wonder why PDP that vowed to stop their campaign because of his suspension did not make an international press conference about this.
