As members of Coalition of Civil Society Organizations took to the streets and Kaduna Government House Friday morning, asking the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Walter Onnoghen to resign, Governor Nasir Ahmad el-Rufai has described the embattled CJN as a shameless man.
Governor El-Rufai who received the protesters’ solidarity letter to President Muhammadu Buhari on the suspension if the Chief Judge, on Friday, said with just over 20 years in public service, Justice Onnoghen possibly has more money than Aliko Dangote, the richest African.
El-Rufai said, even Dangote cannot forget one million dollars in his bank account, not to talk of a public servant.
He stated categorically that, Justice Onnoghen’s suspension was in order saying that, “The case of Justice Onnoghen is the case in which somebody who has worked in government for the past twenty years suddenly has Millions of Dollars in his account, he has admitted but says he has forgotten about them, which means he has more money than Aliko Dangote because I do not think Dangote will forget $1 Million in his account.
“I want to express happiness to all of you for coming together to convey this very clear statement from the people of Kaduna State that in Kaduna we do not support corruption, in Kaduna we do not support injustice, in Kaduna State, we are 100% behind the integrity of our president. I can assure you that the message you have given to me will be delivered to the president today
“The case with Justice Onnoghen is a very sad one. Othman Dan Fodio, the founder of the Sokoto caliphate wrote that the worst form of corruption you can find in any public service is judicial corruption. This is because when the president is corrupt or the governor is corrupt, it is to the judge that ordinary people can take their case to. When the judge himself is corrupt, it is the highest form of corruption and must never be condoned.
“The president did the right thing by asking him to step aside pending an investigation. It is the proper thing to do. It is what is done in every organised and civilised society.
“Unfortunately, some people in Nigeria are trying to make white black and black, white. They are using technicalities to delay bringing this man to Justice. Mr President did not remove Onnoghen from office. He said in honour of the judiciary, he should step aside so that the charges against him can be investigated and prosecuted.

“But the man is shameless he does not want to go but it is time for Nigerians to come all out and tell him he must go. Our judiciary must be clean. Our judiciary must consist of judges who cannot be bought.” He said.
Leaders of the civil society organisations, Comrade Zubairu Muktar and Arc Abubakar R Abubakar said, “As well-meaning and focused Nigerians interested in the progress of our dear country, we would like to state our continuous support for the anti-corruption war of this administration and commend President Muhammadu Buhari for taking this decisive step to restore the lost glory of our judiciary by rejuvenating our nascent democracy. It’s indeed a step very timely and commendable.
“As a coalition of more than one hundred and fifty CSOs, we wish to convey to our President that we will continue to stand firm, straight and tall with him as he continues to purge out corruption embedded in the Nigerian system which has become a hindrance to the economic, political and social development of our dear nation.
“We equally commend President Buhari for his continuous pledge of free, fair and credible elections. We wish him good health, wisdom and long life to re-engineer the country towards an enviable direction.” They said.

James Monday Jibrin while on the other hand, El-Rufai is the best thing that ever happened to Kaduna in terms of leadership
Nobody around there and give him a dirty slap
John Emeka, if not for their moral upbringing, many would have replied you in your own coin
Foolish El-Rufai
Muadth Shettima , pls reply me .. the man is evil ..
Onnogen did not commit any crime known to Nigerian law as at today. The exparte order PMB relied on did not recommend suspension of Onnogen. The CCT chair is facing bribery allegation before EFCC and yet PMB didn’t suspend him. PMB does not power according to our laws to suspend CJN. You among persons ruling Nigeria through back door due I’ll health of PMB. You should be ashamed of yourself
elrufai u are a uselez fox,devil in human form
The thunder never reach you
Who’s that midget talking?
Rufai basket mouth
U are the one who has not committed any sin. Mr gov. El-rufai be the one to cast the first stone
El rufai is s disgrace to this nation. Look at somebody that dubiously confiscated peoples properties in Abuja and turned it to his own when he was FCT minister.
What of Gandollars?
SHORT MAN DEVIL
Mad man.
I was shocked to learn that the so called new cjn is not even a lawyer, has never been called to bar,he’s just a sharia court judge
Hen en, gbam!
Without any reservation he’ll rufai is the grand patron of thieves in Nigeria while Buhari great grand father of corruption in Nigeria… they’re nothing but pretenders…
God will punished you and your family this year.
You are stupid and rude.
Hmmmmm who is PMB did Buhari no Onnogen??????? Pls who is rolling Nigeria???? Any way am just passing
Hon. Justice Nasir Elrufai, Supreme Court Judge.
You and your dead brained boss is shameless and evil
You keep using El-Refai’s name to peddle this unprintable attrosity. Even if it is the view of the man you are using his name, mature men doubt he can so state it when a judicial process is on-going. This is rather childish of you. Most of these men are intellectually sound that they won’t behave the way you portray them here. Desist from this. It is a disservice rather.
Ur days are also numbered
Brainless midget. What did you say about gandollar, NHIS secretary, Aisha ADC 2.5Bn naira scandal, maina, oke, etc. Stupid bigot
The SOUTH of Nigeria are protesting, asking that CJN , ONNEGHEN be reinstated immediately , while the NORTH of Nigeria are protesting asking that the suspended CJN , ONNOGHEN be sacked immediately .
Did that tell you something about the dangerous trend this country is trending gradually because of we, having a very divisive President who acts as baba go slow when a northerner is involved in crime but become a a speed car when its a southerner .
I can’t keep this all alone how I was cured of (hepatitis B virus) with herbal medicine, God bless you Sir. may God give you strength and knowledge to be healing people.You can also contact this doctor for your health issues via WhatsApp or call +2348133069352.
