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...

The law stated that if admit to his omission after notification, there is no need for such. Look, the judiciary is not under Buhari. The judiciary is not like the police or the military that is part of the executive. The presidency does not have the power to suspend and appoint a new CJN all by him self. He doen not..

It is like saying the president can sack the senate president. The judiciary and the legislature are independent arm of the govt. Buhari can not suspend CJN becus it is an independent body fully managed by the judicial commission. He can only remove after such recommendation by the council and national assembly.

These are the words of the CJN himself given absolute powers to the CCT when it comes to issues on false asset declaration below.

Do note that this is the same issue he is facing.

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.”

If you understood the above , you will see that the powers to act in an absolute form has been given to the CCT only when it comes to false asset declaration.

The CJN has admitted to false asset declaration. He is therefore guilty and must comply with the recommendations of the same CCT he empowered above

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.


See the nonsense this one is writing.

Go to court!

How can someone who occupied the most sacred office in the country claim to have forgotten to declare $3million in asset.

Anyway, you can sit in the house and type balderdash. Whatelse can you do? We must stop these brazen and inexplicable amassing of our common patrimony by a few people.

Rubbish!

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.
All the south south Governors met and asked him not to appear b4 CCT

You people are playing with fire �
It is most unfortunate that you allow partisan sympathies to becloud your sense of reasoning. Very sad. This action may have consequences no one can predict now.
History shows that all the great conflicts and conflagrations which consumed countries and societies started with little incidents like this. The Nigerian Civil War in which millions perished started “like play, like play” as they say on the streets.
What Buhari has done is a coup in that he has suspended the Constitution and usurped the powers of the two other arms of Government thus desecrating and violating the principle of separation of powers. He has usurped the powers of the Judiciary in removing a CJN (NJC) and the powers of the Legislature (2/3rds majority vote). The Constitution was framed in such a way that no one arm can interfere in the other arm without at least one of the other arms being involved for balance and to avoid treachery. That is why to remove the President, the other two arms are involved; to remove the CJN, the other two arms are involved.
Currently, there are several suits pending at the Federal High Court against Buhari over failure to include any proof of any qualification in his Nomination Form sent to INEC. Note: the issue is that he did not include any proof at all: no proof that he attended Primary school, secondary school, Military academies, Military courses, etc.; Nothing at all. So the argument is not about whether what he has is equivalent to school Certificate or not as people have been arguing all over the place because there is NOTHING to consider at all.
My real point however is: BY THIS PRECEDENT OF REMOVING CJN THROUGH EXPARTE ORDER, SHOULD ANY OF THESE COURTS HEARING BUHARI CERTIFICATE CASES ALSO SUSPEND HIM FROM OFFICE AND SWEAR IN THE VICE-PRESIDENT BY EXPARTE ORDER PENDING WHEN HIS CERTIFICATE CASE WILL BE CONCLUDED??
We are clapping for a big Monster rearing it’s ugly head because of politics. When this one succeeds, Senate President and House Speaker will also be removed through Exparte Order, Governors will be removed through Exparte Order and then we would have descended into full blown dictatorship;
It will be too late and Nigeria will burn.
WHEN THE RAIN FALLS; IT WILL NOT FALL ON ONE MAN’S HOUSETOP



People should not try to be clever by half.

The CJN has admitted that rules have been broken whether by design , default or forgetfulness. Who broke the rules? His Lordship, the CJN. If the matter goes to the NJC, he will sit over his own case. Will it be fair?

The best option is to resign since guilt has been established. No dice.

I cannot recall a similar thing happen in this country.

Use your head for once....

We have courts in the lands saddled with adjudication and handling all legal matters.

The last time I checked Buhari was not an embodiment of our judicature so this brazen and brutush attempt at self help and atavistic tyranny is ultra vires, null and void.

I cannot recall a similar thing happen in this country. The coup and consequences did not start from a Chief Justice suspended, not removed despite being defended by 140 SAN. The suspended CJN was in office and all those certificate issues went through the courts. What was the verdict?

Talking of "little incidences", You call 140 SAN defending a CJ that has admitted default little? Itvis a big thing and what makes you think that they are not stakeholders of the " judicial exchange" or "stock exchange" where the CJ is the president. A forensic audit may trace tgese funds to the SANs and this explains their rush to defend him. It is even idiotic for SAN to join139 to defend a case where only two or three lawyers will address the judge.

Let us put things in clear perspectives.

That Buhari is the president doesn't give him the right to do whatever he likes. There is a process.....follow the process. Even if the CJ confessed. You must follow the process, there is no short cuts.

Question I want the Diseased BMC cows to answer is:
If the national assembly wakes up one morning and suspend Buhari on account of gross misconduct, will they be singing the same song they are singing now?
Forget about those obnoxious processes..
Cjn is very sympathetic to d course of PDP
Look at d kind of judgement from supreme court these days... Very biased
