SACK, Walter Onnoghen THE CRIMINAL NOW!!!

And every fraudulent and CORRUPT souls should be jailed, no matter the party they are.

A New Nigeria we want and a new Nigeria we will get!!

And the severest of punishments to all those supporting grand corruption, utter disregard for our constitution and unparalleled nepotism

Go back and check Justice Rhodes profile.He is not pro Tinubu.look at this link

http://saharareporters.com/2009/11/16/njc-save-us-justice-bode-rhodes-vivour-bode-george-must-remain-prison

I might agree that they don't a mutual political relationship in the past, but what about now? the tide might have change because technically he is never suppose to be CJN(retirement factor) but the card is being played in his favor(political manoveuring- displacing two to favor one)... Now tell me, is that not a win/win for APC

Onnoghen, Chief Joker of Nigeria.

tesppidd:
Glad you saw the humour in my comment.

If pachukwudi thinks that all of these would in any way turn out good for PDP then he's in for some rude awakening.

As long as Mary Odilli doesn't take over it's a lose lose for PDP.

Yes, he is not seeing it from that angle or maybe he chose to ignore the next fact... As it would stand, APC gat the lead, Justice Tanko was just picked to cause the necessary chaos and he would be settled when the whole plan is perfected.

In my opinion, NJC will avoid further dragging the Judiciary into the mud by ratifying Onnoghens suspension and recommending Mohammed's appointment.

Yes, PDP and their cohorts will shout but there is a way out.

In the case of Abia state, which is used as precedence, the CJ was removed and the new CJ's was appointed without NJC, story ends. The vacuum was without the complication of an exparte order we are seeing in this CJN case.

In this case, it is a suspension and there is a vacuum, while there are cases in both the Appeal court and the CCT where the determination is the one creating the vacuum of CJN.

The NJC in this case would have to first of all declare if the CCT has jurisdiction over Onnoghen's case or not before they can decide if Mohammed was right or wrong. If CCT acted right, then Mohammed acted right, if CCT acted wrong the Mohammed was wrong. Either way Mohammed couldn't have known which way the NJC prefered so he had to fill the vacuum created until when all parties resolve their issues. I was his responsibility to do so and if the next judge was in his shoes, would have done same.

Mohammed can also claim to be under the CCT's exparte order just like the president is also claiming. The order had the part where the president should act and he as the most senior judge will also act. If the NJC doesnot agree, then the CCT is the one responsible not the President nor Mohammed.

If the NJC wishes to put an end to the whole issue, they would obviously recommend what the president could accept. I also think they would after considering Onnoghen's reply, forward the petition against him to the CCT as the appropriate body to deal with his case. If they do that, it means they have ratified the earlier suspension and killed whatever case is in the appeal court.

This is my opinion, am not a lawyer.

I know this tanko is not corrupt at all so the njc wants to sacrifice onnoghen and him to go so that they want to continue their corruption in the judiciary. they already know who tanko is.

It's not only about win win for FG, it's also about we masses. Many of our so called "legal practionals" are corrupt. Let them keep exposing themselves.

NJC can not sack anybody.!

NJC can recommend the two justices of the supreme court for removal to the President and the president may reject the recommendation.

However, if Onnoghen resigns, PMB will accept his resignation and in line with NJC's rule, It will have no choice than to recommend the next most senior judge for elevation to the post of the CJN. and that will be Tanko.

And if PMB accepts the recommendation for both judges to proceed on early retirement, the next most senior judge is a Yoruba man and may be politically acceptable to all. The NJC will then have to ask the President to appoint new judges to the supreme court.

That is if the president wants Onnoghen out more than he wanted Tanko as CJN. Either way PMB holds the ace on this.

Bros Justice Rhodes is a man of honour and not a stooge.It may also interest you to know that it was Justice Rhodes who led the supreme court panel that ratified the Makarfi led executive as the authentic PDP exco.The supreme court has never fallen to the manipulations of any government in power.

KenOne:
NJC to sacked Tanko in dreams. The federal government have settled for Justice Tanko Muhammad, if NJC does not want to be ridiculed let them not accept Tanko, when the constitution also gives the president the right to accept or reject NJC recommendation.

Just like Magu's case senate rejected his confirmation and is still their as acting for almost 4yrs.

NJC recommend any other person apart from Tanko and see how Tanko will be acting CJN until 2023 he reaches 70yrs of retirement.

This is PMB accept my candidate or i render your recommendation useless using the constitution right to accept or reject your recommendation.

Didn't you just read that any CJN appointed by the president without Senate confirmation can only serve a maximum of 3 months, after which he cannot be reappointed? If Senate fails to confirm Tanko which is very likely, he will finish his 3 months and bow out. The next in line (Rhodes-Vivour) will definitely be the next CJN.
Anyhow you look at it, Tanko can't stay in that position more than 3 months.

You are too childish.Thank God you said you are not a lawyer.Justice Tanko led the NJC panel that recommended the sacking of the former CJ of Abia state for the same offence he just committed.So how could he caim ignorance of what he did?

Tanko cannot even saty there more than one month.The supreme court will sack him long before then.Furthermore Tanko will be suspended by the NJC and thus will no longer bbe regarded in the hierarchy of SC judges

lol and you think Onnogen will resign?.The SC factor is there.It will deliver a ruling on the suit filed by the senate and either nullify or affirm the president's actions.Furthermore If Justice Tanko is recommended for dismissal by the NJC he will no longer be the next in line to the CJN

Racoon:
Let both of them respond to the allegations against them first then let the NJC adjucate accordingly. Meanwhile President Buhari may still want to retain Justice Tanko even if the NJC sacks him in his characteristic nepotic and ethnic supremacist agenda.

Exactly. D article is clear demonstration of separation of powers and d independence of d Judiciary. They don't need d president 2 tell them what they should do. Its what many Nigerians have been saying. D president can't just wake up& decide that d CJN is corrupt & apportion punishment as he feels. Let d process take its full course

D NJC cannot sack anybody? Pls read this:


“Incidentally, Justice Tanko was a member of the NJC panel that removed Justice Obisike Orji of the Abia State High Court for accepting to be sworn in as chief judge by the governor of Abia State without the recommendation of the NJC.“

PaChukwudi44:


lol Hoiw can itbe a win if the APC are unable to take over the judiciary? You think the APC government just wanted to remove Justice Onnogen as CJN? They wanted to pocket the judiciary by planting a stooge.It is not just about Onnoggen.It is about the independence of the judiciary

Papa chukwudi, the aim is to remove Onnoghen and it has been accomplished. You can tell yourself any other thing just to shake off that feeling of defeat

sotall:
Sack the impostor who couldn't wait for his time to head the judiciary because of impatience and greed.


Tanko Mohammed is the Judas of the judiciary. He betrayed the legal body on whose pivot his career is hanging.

Let same judgement he delivered be done to him

He is a sharia man. The most likely reason Buhari quickly dispatched Onnoghen knowing that the next in line is a man of the same breed with himself. If NJC sacks the man, Buhari like in the case of Magun, the EFCC chairman will still want to keep him. Itsey Sagay by then will give him the legal reason why he shouldn't listen to NJC because corruption is in all of its members. The man Buhari and his co-travellers do not understand how civilized society functions, they belong to the sharia bush.

lol accomplished how exactly? Has Onnogen been removed? BTW the aim is not to remove Onnoggen.It was to plant a stooge that will grant favourable judgements to the APC.That plan has been defeated.The SC will still go ahead to stop te illegal APC candidates and nullify the election of the usurper Gov Oyetola of Osun state

NJC cannot sack anybody yet it is the body responsible for taking disciplinary action against any judicial officer found wanting in the course of discharging his/her duty. Do you even understand what the word "discipline" means?

u are joking u think efcc and d judiciary are same...at d end of d day tanko have to go..otherwise it ll boomerang in future...u can't suspend obisike of abia for similar offence and leave out tanko...it will be a win for democracy...are u saying if d Supreme Court say tanko cant be can buhari ll refuse...u are joking

Dont let us resort to name calling, i will let this one slide.

Is there anywhere i implied or insinuated Mohammed should claim ignorance? Mohammed himself would be dumb if he claims ignorance neither am i dumb to say he should claim ignorance.

What he did was a result of an exparte order right or wrong, the responsibility is not his to
bear. That is not feigning ignorance. As a Judicial officer he abided by an order to avail himself as the most senior.

NJC should fault the exparte order if they like, squash it or do whatever, he obeyed the law. If he had refused, Buhari will also petition him for refusing to obey an order of a lawful court.

We are all partisan in one way or the other but we try to find a balance between our allegiance and the common sense. I suggest you try to leave you partisanship out of National issues.

laughing.

bro stop using emotional spirit to applaud the president in illegality. you missing something, i like to school you on this but have no time i guess you need to read more on this to know Judiciary has wide power when it comes to appointment, suspension and dismissal of CJN by the president absolutely different from Magu's case.

BETTER FACE REALITY.JUSTICE TANKO'S CAREER AS A SUPREME COURT JUDGE IS OVER

AllenSpencer:
Buhari is a master strategist


Can't believe a lifeless man can keep wailers on their toes for weeks now.

Be acting like he is directionless but knows exactly his destination. Give it to Buhari, he is a lifeless disciplinarian

Less talks, Much action!

Imagine comparing a Buhari to a Putin ? May God forgive you..

I THINK JUSTICE ONNOGGEN IS A MAN OF PRINCIPLE.SEVERAL FAVOURABLE JUDGEMENTS ALSO WENT TO THE APC SINCE HIS REIGN AS CJN BEGAN.HE WASNT EVEN CJN WHEN THE SUPREME COURT RULED ON THE RIVERS ELECTION.

he just a victim of power play just like sanusi was and salami was too... the judiciary ist with njc then d Supreme Court have to stamp their and prove they are not an appendage to other organs of government

With the past ruling of Justice Rhodes he will be another Onnoggen.I have been looking at some of his past judgements and it makes me happy we will have another formidable judge with the strength of character to take over the judiciary when Onnoggen finally retires.

God used this crisis to expose and remove the demon Tanko who would have taken over from Onnoggen.Now I know why they say God works in mysterious ways
