Truth is that the NJC will reverse the decision by Buhari but will recommend Onnoghen to step aside pending the investigation. This will also be equal to being suspended.

My opinion though.

ahmedkoded95:
An emergency meeting of the National Judicial Council (NJC) has commenced in Abuja, the nation’s capital.

The meeting, which is ongoing, is convened as part of the moves to resolve the legal logjam arising from the suspension of Justice Water Onnoghen as the Chief Justice of Nigeria.

Channels Television gathered that neither the embattled Justice Onnoghen nor the acting CJN, Justice Ibrahim Mohammed, is expected to preside over the meeting.

President Muhammadu Buhari had on Friday last week suspended Justice Onnoghen as CJN on the strength of an order by the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).

The order also required the President to swear in the next most senior justice of the Supreme Court as CJN, pending the determination of the suit against Justice Onnoghen.

The suspended CJN is facing charges of false assets declaration at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.

The suspension of Justice Onnoghen has triggered criticisms from various quarters, including the international community.

They raised concerns about the implication of the President’s action, especially coming close to the general elections.

That's it...and Tanko will be asked to proceed on compulsory retirement....whomever the next person is should be jogging...
My thoughts!

CrestMan:


Walter is not coming back to continue on a long term for sure because of the allegations against him for morality sake but will be reinstated and properly asked to resign in a befitting way BUT TANKO just missed the golden opportunity to become LEGAL CJN because he will also be sanctioned for participating in the kangaroo appointment! Both side wins(PDP60% APC40%). My humble opinion

DonFreshmoney:
The new CJN will be Bode Rhodes Vivour a southerner, if buhari doesn't like him, next in charge is still a southerner Mary Odili

The CJN will ask Tanko Mohammed to step down as he wasn't nominated, they will also investigate the allegation of Ononghen and may ask him to step down.

SalamRushdie:
First and foremost the NJC must remember that this meeting is not about whether Onnoghen is corrupt or not but to find out where Buhari got his imaginary powers from to claim to suspend the Head of the Judiciary and where he got another imaginary power from to dare to replace him without any input from the NJC and the National assembly as enshrined in our constitution.

The out come of this meeting must be to uphold the constitutional status quo and to fix another date to hear the trumped up corruption charges against Justice Onnoghen and to decide the punitive measure for the unbecoming behaviour of Justice Tanko.

sammyj:
Bad guy tormentor !!!

dokie:


Rhodes is likely to be the next CJN.

Impostor Injustice Tanko is going to be suspended after this meeting

CrestMan:


Thanks for the advice Bro. That's why I'm not a 30k/month-worth zombie so my health will continue to flourish

id911:


It can never happen, he's Tinubu boy. We can't hand over Supreme Court to Tinubu. Instead, let's Sharia Justice Tanko Mohammed continue

omogidi234:


Just negodu how Bode Rhodes Vivour who ordinarily would nor have become a CJN would now become one!..

To your comment, Onnoghen is going, Tanko is going and Danladi of CCT is also going.

rusher14:


They would ask Tanko to step down on what basis?
All these kids sef.

omooba969:
Why hold any meeting in the face of blatant & brazen corruption?

Our politicians fathers have now institutionalised corruption in Nigeria. Onnoghen's case shouldn't be contested as there's an admission of wrongdoing by the defendant (Onnoghen), therefore he should be facing prosecution with expectation of a custodial sentence.

In the same light, the executive arm has violated rules & flouted laws with regards to due process - arbitrary use of power.

The judiciary is twisted, the country is....

Phew!
