AlPeter:

donphilopus:
Those unrepentant sadists who thought his name would be substituted for a Muslim Northerner would be disappointed. I'm very certain he would be confirmed and eventually made the substantive CJN of the Federation. I believe there's a reason he was sworn-in in acting capacity.

Paentera:


Forgive the poster, na ignorance of the highest order. One of the key reasons Nigeria remains where it is. Lack of exposure.

megrimor:
It is constitutional he does so. He has no say over this else he would have acted otherwise.

akinceleb:
Why in acting capacity? So as to see maybe he will cooperate or not abi? When southern was in president, dey never put nother man on test bcoz dey have respect for rules of law and separation of power . A dictator can never change! Nonsense

Buhari Swears In Onnoghen As ""Acting"" Chief Justice Of Nigeria.

Buhari the tribalist King of the North trying so hard to ensure that every arm and parastatal of government remains under the leadership of Northerners. If he had no ulterior motive he would have forwarded his name to the Senate and he would not have been sworn in today under "acting" capacity - another first in the evil scores of firsts under Buhari. We are watching of course ..

DrRasheed:
The only honest igbo

henryhemon:



Am sorry to say this....with all due respect to you.....hatred kills and I dare say you are in no way better than the president as much as you claim he is evil.

chumaster:
the way he made Philip Ofoegbu the substansive DG NTA right?

Buhari has something up his sleeve, I see another Yakubu Ibin Mohammed being called out of retirement to take over.

kropotkin2:
There is no such provision in the constitution that stipulates that the most senior supreme court justice must take over, it is only a tradition that has been adhered to from the beginning. The constitution only mandates that the president appoints a CJN on recommendation from the NJC, and even at that he has the right to reject the nominee and demand for a new name. Buhari merely followed set precedent and not like he had no choice like you falsely insinuate.

AnanseK:


And that's what has been happening for the last 30 years. So what's your problem?

agabusta:
Nice one. Buhari the master strategist is swearing him into office in Acting capacity. If he messes up too much, na to reject his nomination.
