Even though the interpretation acts gives the president the power to suspend the CJN, PMB acted based on a very clear order of the CCT. The president cannot refuse to obey a valid court order. Onnoghen should go to court to challenge the order if he’s aggrieved.

Wilstino:
My friend, let us be objective regardless of our political inclination and for the sake of the future democracy. This is a dangerous precedent. No one is arguing whether he did it or not, the point is that there is a constitutional process for removing CJN which the government has failed to follow, perhaps due to its ulterior motives. It is not about PDP but our democracy.

Please nobody should be commenting or comparing or campaigning about election. It’s dead........if you don’t know then you must be in 1984.

Today is the day Nigeria dies or not if this succeeds...........so we are in clear and present danger right now 25th Jan 2019

America appointed an Obama 10 years ago and he did to them what Joseph did in the Bible and he left office with the greatest record ever being 8th greatest......even President Clinton that is my best ever is Number 13. They told Obama nobody can make it to Top 10 because you need to go back and fight either civil war or world war ?

But the story is not for Africa.
Times like these show why Africa is domed. We doom it by ourselves

Blacks constitutes 13% of America so if every single black votes......he can’t even make it to the ballot. Obama won Iowa caucus which is 99% white.....20 months before election........I mean they voted him instead of their fellow whites like Hillary Clinton.
This story is not for Nigeria that has slid to Dictatorship. Not for Naija’s consumption

The world of Obama does not exist in this part of the world.
Nigerians need to stand up and fight now or it’s gone a country....bye bye
Awolowo n Fela n Gani Deadbody will fight this war on Nigeria’s democracy

For those who still dey sleep......the next few steps you will see na censor internet and communication.
We are in 1960 now and the next election 2019 is for independence
We must fight now to regain independence of Nigeria

AyakaDunukofia:
There is an attack on the constitutional separation of powers. The judiciary has been ambushed and usurped by the executive. The opposition and the civil society have the obligation to rise up and resist the growing fascism.

Buhari supporters claims he has cult-like following in the North. He should be confident to rely on the supposed following instead of truncating democracy as he did in 1983. What a load of rubbish.

deomelo:



CCT is a product and creation of the Nigerian constitution with constitutional trappings. The CCT issued a valid court order that the president obeyed.

So, what constitution are you talking about? The CCT issuing valid court order or the president obeying court order are not part of the Nigerian constitution?


I really don't get the meaningless and ignorant argument you people are making for real.

modath:

Atiku should ask for a refund from the people that sold Dubai strategy to him, these people hate PDP deep down cos all they've succeeded in doing is make their affinity and obsession with corruption & grand larceny so obvious at each and every turn.

PDP won't stop making sane & fair minded people laugh, CJN admitted to "forgetting" to declare over $3m (and counting) and "they've turned that into a CONSTITUTIONAL MATTER" rather than distancing themselves from the drama, they have decided to carry it on dem head like expired gala for inside go slow...

planetx:
The Niger delta militants should immediately resume their attacks on oil instalations, this country must be made ungovernable for this useless so called president and his fulani cabal. I hate this motherfuckers with everything I got, make the damn country ungovernable and let it shatter into a thousand pieces.

If I may repeat, the Code of Conduct Tribunal has been established with the exclusive jurisdiction to deal with all violations contravening any of the provisions of the Code as per paragraph 15(1). This provision has expressly ousted the powers of ordinary regular courts in respect of such violations.

“The Tribunal to the exclusion of other courts is also empowered to impose any punishments as specified under sub-paragraphs (2) (a), (b) & (c) of paragraph 18 as provided in sub-paragraphs 3 and 4 of paragraph 18 while appeals shall lie as of right from such decisions to the Court of Appeal.

The real important question to ask at this stage is what is the consequences of the violation of the aforesaid paragraphs of the 5th Schedule to the 1999 Constitution?



“The answer to the above question is to be found in Paragraph 12 of the said Part 1 of the 5th Schedule which enacts as follows: -‘Any allegation that a public officer has committed a breach of provisions of this code shall be made to the Code of Conduct Bureau.’

“It is my considered view that the above provision is very clear and unambiguous. It provides a remedy in the event of any alleged breach of the provisions. The remedy lies with the Code of Conduct Bureau which has been clothed with the requisite jurisdiction to handle such matters.”

Sirjamo:
Now we all know the political party that has been corrupting our judicial system with their bureau the change/ cash and carry way of life.

The consistence and intensity at which the PDP has been defending corruption is a grievous danger to our common existence.

The Atiku/PDP presidency is premised on the fact that they had the judiciary on their payroll, after failing woefully to use the national assembly to get back to power.

His lordship has not been sacked, he's just been suspended, the sooner he can prove that those millions of dollars are lawfully acquired, the sooner he will be restored to his position.

The PDP and it supporters can go and do their worst, we are ready for them. We are solidly behind his Excellency President Mohammadu Buhari in this journey to liberate our beloved country from the strangle hold of merciless looters who think they can buy their way to and from anything, they have met their match in this president and this is just the beginning of many more of such actions.

Okay,you also said he will islamise Nigeria when he became president in 2015...Still waiting for that to be achieved..

I had little respect for you before.

I thought you were a normal person, never knew you were a sycophantic unrepentant zombie who has sold her soul to the devil for BMC peanut

Princedapace:


There is no provision for suspension in the constitution. What was stated was removal. U can't manufacture law by your self. There is a process to that.

NkayStory:



You say you are 'ready' right?..well i hope you lots especially Yorubas who are the majirity supporters of buhari's insanity are ready to tackle the Niger-Delta Militants if they respond in kind.

You will do well to 'tackle' them then and not turn Environmental Activists while buhari/APC begs with hot tears running down their cheeks like they did the last time.

We know how you lits boasted to high heavens about buhari being the new 'Sherifat in Town' and how those rants ended

pheonixdld2:

Modath you need to understand that their reasons for suspending campaigns are not because CJN was accused(if you noticed they have been silent about it since),but because the president has now thrown caution to the wind. If the CJN is guilty, let the process which brought him buhari determine that.
Buhari has a penchant for acting regardless of the law, constitution or due process, but only implements it when it suits his purpose of fishing culprits.

Tetehjewels:


There is no limitation placed on the president when it comes to a suspension. The only limitation is for a removal.

Thus Mr President obeyed the constitution by not removing but by suspending.

The constitution supports his action especially when the CJN himself has confessed to his " crime of omission ".

He cannot be a judge in his own case.

Bubu is on the side of the law
