Other News paper are saying NJC ask Onnoghen and Tanko to resign

Baawaa:
At last, Onnoghen is history

Yes. Maybe. But what is sure is a template has been set for subsequent leaders. What goes around, comes around. Sounds cliche, but... oh well.

***President weighs options on Onnoghen

WITH the recommendation of the National Judicial Council (NJC), the coast seems clear for Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad to mount the saddle as CJN.

President Muhammadu Buhari is likely to accept the NJC’s recommendation that Justice Muhammad should be CJN, The Nation learnt yesterday.

But Buhari is said to be weighing whether or not to accept the NJC’s recommendations on the suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria ( CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen.

Buhari, who had a meeting with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on the issue before flying out to Jordan yesterday, is also said to be seeking legal opinions on the NJC’s decisions.

The NJC absolved Justice Muhammad of any blame in deferring to the President to be sworn in as the Acting CJN.

He accepted the appointment, having been presented with an ex parte order of the CCT, which led to Justice Onnoghen’s suspension.

The Nation learnt that after receiving the NJC’s recommendations, the President elected to seek legal advice on them.

A top government official, who pleaded not to be named because he was not permitted to talk on the matter, said the President was considering:

1. whether or not NJC’s conclusions on findings on Onnoghen did not amount to indictment;

2. if he should accept NJC’s soft-landing decision to retire Justice Onnoghen with full benefits;

3. Onnoghen’s retirement without benefits; and

4. whether the law should run its full course, including the conclusion of Onnoghen’s trial by the Code of Conduct Tribunal and a fresh trial by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Buhari is also believed to be thinking of asking NJC to recommend deterrence for Onnoghen or seeking further consultations with the council.

The President is also said to be planning to seek advice on whether the input of the Senate necessary in retiring Onnoghen?

The source said: “Since he received the NJC’s recommendations, the President has been thinking of how to manage the situation without rubbishing the anti-corruption agenda of his administration. He has the right to accept or reject the council’s recommendations on Onnoghen.

“The President is already seeking legal opinion on legal issues surrounding the NJC’s decisions. He does not want to set a bad precedent in tackling this Onnoghengate”.

The source confirmed that the President met with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo. He believed Onnoghen’s case and other matters were discussed.

Responding to a question, the source said: “What NJC decided was a kind of soft-landing for Onnoghen with moral and legal implications.

“Apart from stepping down, there are concerns about what Onnoghen is really offering as deterrent. Some are saying why can’t the law run its full course?

“Others are pressurising the government to take advantage of the window created by the NJC to rebuild the ties between the Executive and the Judiciary as a result of Onnoghen’s travails.”

It was unclear whether or not the President would need the consent of the Senate to retire Onnoghen.

“This is part of the legal opinion being sought by the President,” a presidency source said, pleading not to be named.

Section 231 of the 1999 Constitution says: “(1)The appointment of a person to the office of Chef Justice of Nigeria shall be made by the President on the recommendation of the National Judicial Council subject to confirmation of such appointment by the Senate.

“(2) The appointment of a person to the office of a Justice of the Supreme Court shall be made by the President on the recommendation of the National Judicial Council subject to confirmation of such appointment by the Senate.

“(3) A person shall not be qualified to hold the office of Chief Justice of Nigeria or of a Justice of the Supreme Court, unless he is qualified to practise as a legal practitioner in Nigeria and has been so qualified for a period of not less than fifteen years.

“(4) If the office of Chief Justice of Nigeria is vacant or if the person holding the office is for any reason unable to perform the functions of the office,’ then until a person has been appointed to and has assumed the functions of that office, or until the person holding the office has resumed those functions, the President shall point the most senior Justice of the Supreme Court to perform those functions.

“(5) Except on the recommendation of the National Judicial Council, appointment, pursuant to the provisions of subsection (4) of section shall cease to have effect after the expiration of three months from the date of such appointment, and the President shall not reappoint a person whose appointment has lapsed.”

Part 1 of the Third Schedule to 1999 Constitution says: “The National Judicial Council shall have power to:

(b) recommend to the President the removal from office of the judicial officers specified in sub-paragraph (a) of this paragraph, and to exercise disciplinary control over such office’s;

(c) recommend to the Governors from among the list of persons submitted to it by the State Judicial Service Commissions persons for appointments to the offices of the Chief Judges of the States and Judges of the High courts of the states, the Grand Kadis and Kadis of the sharia Courts of Appeal of the States and Presidents and Judges of the Customary Courts of Appeal of the States;

(d) recommend to the governors the removal from office of the judicial officers specified in sub-paragraph (c) of this paragraph, and to exercise disciplinary control over such officers;

(e) collect, control and disburse all moneys, capital and recurrent, for the judiciary;

(f) advise the President and governors or any matter pertaining to the judiciary as may be referred to the Council by the President or the covernors;

(g) appoint, dismiss and exercise disciplinary control over member and staff of the Council;

(h) control and disburse all monies, capital and recurrent. for the services of the Council; and

(i) deal with all other matters relating to broad issues of policy and administration.

Meanwhile, the NJC has recommended the confirmation of Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad as the substantive Chief Justice of Nigeria.

Another source said: “The council actually did not find him culpable of infractions. He actually did not even want to be inaugurated as the Acting CJN until there was evidence of an ex-parte order from the CCT on Justice Onnoghen’s suspension.

“As the next in-command, the NJC said he should take over from the CJN.”

When contacted, a source in NJC said: “In line with Section 26 of the Judicial Discipline Regulations of 2017, the council has reached out to all those affected by its decisions.

Section 26 says: “The decision taken in regulation 25 of these Regulations shall be notified to the following persons: (a)The subject of the decision; (b)The Complainant and (c) The relevant Head of Court

“Upon a request made to the Council, the decision may be notified to any other person. The grant or refusal of such request is in the absolute discretion of the Council.”

there is no truth in this country

Still in court the FG could not prove their case have close their case premature because their witness was making nonsense of their case !today NCJ did what ?

Eyah, we know it will happen

njc members just became richer.njc has come out with his win-win approach where every oneexcept the rule of law benefits.THEIR DAY IS COMING.

SarkinYarki:
NJC clearly compromised ..I wonder how much they were paid ..there was a country

How did you come to this conclusion? What if this same njc advised that he be reinstated, would you still think same of them

NJC more or less endorsed Buhari's action - wailers have now been given a big job to do.

awuf2008:
The president has no choice but to gladly accept the Njc recommendation, that give onoghen a soft landing, if not so, there could a big problem for FG. Remember, Cjn Onoghen has not voluntarily resigned and to remove him, FG needs 2/3 majority in Senate to do it and we all know that it is not possible in the present Senate.

Have you checked what you wrote, Buhari has a choice to accept or reject the NJC recommendation.

He can accept partly and reject partly.

There is no swearing in of Tanko Mohammed as CJN without removal of Onnoghen. Yes a 2/3rd is needed to remove Onnoghen but guess what, the removal is coming from NJC not Buhari, what will be the grounds of Senate rejection? Once they reject, Tanko acts for 3 months, the next senior judge acts for another 3 months and the baton keeps changing every 3 months till Senate accept what the president and NJC did.

Senate cannot just keep being anti progressives and being celebrated by the opposition. Its only governance that will suffer.

Wasky101:

No mind them. Every thing that doesn't go their way is compromised.

The Presidency asking NJC to advise Buhari to remove Onnoghen that he has removed and then replace him with the same Justice Tanko that he Buhari has already appointed in the interim is like working from the answer to the question

It’s all made up

Just as Buhari ousted shagari in a coup he plotted and pretends till date that he was a 3rd party soldier minding his business and a bunch of unhappy renegade soldiers plotted a coup and invited him as the most senior officer to lead the military council

It’s all fictitious and made up.

Buhari is the grandmaster of rigging process and using proxies to do the dirty work

Whether it is 1983 or 2019 it’s all the same rigged processes by one character called Buhari

.....lol,from this your write up,u are invariably referring to PMB as master and genious in a matter like this ...now I can realize that u r truly a confused human,... so ,what happens to ,PMB is a dullard,dollardinho,....yeye dey smell

am also shocked at the NJC if this is what they really came up with. they just sold their birth right for a porriage of yam and from now going on the judiciary should expect a lot of bullying from the executives including at state levels, they shouldnt complain any longer because their learned colleagues have sold them out for a plate of porriage. there is no integrity with a lot of nigerians , its so sad
this similar thing happened in pakistan and the judiciary there stood up to the executives and that wrong precedence was averted

This onnoghen's case has been carefully planned long time ago, onnoghen was never wanted by buhari abinitio so it was just a matter of time n convenience before he was done away with no matter what,the man was taken before the CCT through a petition writing by a questionable character under very questionable circumstances,the petition was investigated with the speed of light,he was arraigned before the CCT without recourse to the NJC in contravention of the constitution,the CCT continuously chaired by a dubious character issued a fraudulent ex parte order perhaps likely out of executive arm twisting to create a false justifications for onnoghen's illegal suspension, during his trial the appeal court for unknown reasons refused to rule on onnoghen's appeals,due to public out cry efcc forwarded an after thought petition to the NJC,onnonghen gave a very articulate reply to the petition,meanwhile Tanko no minding the illegality of the CCT issued ex parte order agreed to be sworn in as acting CJ,the NJC never cared about the illegality of the CCT ex parte order, never bothered about the strange attitude of the appeal court, never thought of the constitutional provision in dealing with legal officers etc n in a strange opaque manner found onnoghen guilty but ironically requested for a soft landing for him,now buhari not been in control of the Senate is confused on way to go, eventually buhari will surely have his way but it's only a fool that will laugh at the travails of onnoghen because a very dangerous prescedence is been set,in my view the Southerners especially the Christians should go into deep reflections because what is happening is a clear demonstration of the utter disregards the north has for the South n a blantant arrogant display of the powers of the 'unenlightened north' over the so called 'educated n sophisticated' south.

First, you are being misled by the silky news propaganda you have been consuming.

First, Onoghen's account balances were all revealed in the CCT trial. They were nowhere remotely near the figure you are bandying about. The Lying Tinibu's Nation Newspaper is neither a judge nor the prosecutor.

So, if anything, the figure you quoted could be the cumulative total of all the monies that passed through all his domiciliary accounts since the last 10 - 15 years or so. But you were not told that fact. Sorry. But neither you nor the Nation buhari's goons is the court.


Finally, if your bolded assertion below is true, it may probably explain why Buhari (as a key member of Abacha's regime) hates onoghen with passion. First he refused to confirm him as the CJN, then he moved to ridicule and disgrace him by all means - including by HIGHLY ILLEGAL means - even after the man was eventually confirmed by the AP. Now you are dreaming of having him jail the man. You all will fail.

smeag0l:
Case was politically motivated but the case initially brought before CCT then has since been moved a step further. The case was that he had a wrong asset declaration but now the case they have agains him is that he has an account with $1,713,000 which he didn't declare. The question is where did a Nigerian supreme Court judge that earns 800k monthly get that kind of money from?The NJC has agreed that evidences of corruption against Onnoghen is incontrovertible and they still want the president to retire him with full benefits. Something is fishy. Besides, I don't think Onnoghen will ever come out of this case unscathed because he was amongst corrupt high court judges pencilled down for dismissal by Abacha in 1993 before his name was cleverly and surreptitiously removed because of a rapid and suspicious promorion arranged by his allies in the NJC.

Caseless:


The CJN's admission of guilt is enough to rope him and have him retired without benefits. But if the government is magnanimous enough to leave him with full benefits of retirement. If he wants to fight, he's free to and that's his right.

What you say is "an admission of guilt" is a provision in the Code of Conduct Act. Maybe some day when you find a chink in a law that favours you you'd instruct your lawyers to allow you plead guilty. As a good man. I'll be in the crowd cheering you. Everyone is pointing fingers yet no one is talking about amending that law. And mark my words when an APC monk applies it, we'll all see IT differently. As usual.

I thought you said onnoghen would be reinstated last month

[quote author=adanny01 post=77280698][/quote]

Let's wait and see.

Even if he's not reinstated, the fruits of the impunity would be reaped squarely only by those of you who depend solely on Nigeria and yet cheer the seeds of trouble and anarchy being sown in your land.

Amuocha:
All principal actors in this drama would surely regret it.

Regret what exactly? Disposing of a morally bankrupt CJN !

Now I know you don't follow the proceedings of this trial. I'm not quoting figures from the nation newspaper neither am I a politician. The whole of the judiciary knows that Onnoghen is corrupt and this also does not exclude a lot of the men on the bench as most of them are guilty which is why they are pushing for a soft landing for Onnoghen in the event that whenever another Judge is found wanting he can be retired with full benefits.Besides, the dom account in question was never declared by Onnoghen which is the first offence he committed.

There was nothing Abacha and Buhari did that was legitimate. If they could not sack the man then, it was because they had no reason to.

You are talking about Abacha (and buhari) who toppled legitimate governments and jailed/killed 100s of people at whim without any reason whatsoever.

So, even if I agree with you that Abacha's government (which included buhari) targeted Onoghen back in the days, I did not agree that Onoghen was guilty as alleged.

Buhari was not the one that recommended his sack back then. He was listed amongst other high court judges as corrupt judges who sold judgements. There was no ethnic or religious bias to the list. A month before the sack was effected, Onnoghen''s allies in the NJC promoted him to an appeal court judge and confirmed him immediately too which was something unprecedented. That was how he escaped losing his job. It would have been very easy for Abacha to sack him then if they were being vindictive since we were under military rule but as you have decided to politicize everything I have nothing else to say to you other than to get your facts right before quoting me

pchukwudi:

You are talking about Abacha (and buhari) who toppled legitimate governments and jailed/killed 100s of people at whim without any reason whatsoever.

So, even if I agree with you that Abacha's government (which included buhari) targeted Onoghen back in the days, I did not agree that Onoghen was guilty as alleged.

About time immunity from prosecution while in office is extended to The CJN and The Senate President.
