The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has described as a face-saving measure the decision by the PDP to pull the brakes on its electioneering campaign over Justice Walter Onnoghen’s suspension, saying the PDP’s campaign never gained traction in the first instance.
Responding to reporters’ question in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, on Saturday, on the suspension of the PDP’s campaign, the Minister said: ”Which Campaign? Their campaign was over a long time ago. There is nothing to suspend. We said it that their campaign had floundered. You can now see. What they are doing now is looking for a face-saving way out of a dead and buried campaign.”
He wondered why the PDP is crying more than the bereaved and asked the opposition party whether Justice Onnoghen is one of its members.
“And in any event, let’s ask them this question: Is there something that they know that we don’t know? Is there something between them and the suspended CJN? Otherwise, we did not see why they should suspend their campaign anyway, but I can understand that their campaign was bound to end this way,” Alhaji Mohammed said.
He said while Nigerians have been trooping out in large numbers wherever the President’s campaign ship berths, the PDP supporters have been dwindling by the day.
On the outcry by some people and organizations over Justice Onnoghen’s suspension, the Minister said it’s troubling that those who are crying foul over the suspension of the CJN have actually ignored the fact that a serving Chief Justice not only amassed millions of dollars in his account but admitted that he forgot to declare same in his Assets Declaration Form.
“For anybody who read Mr President’s address yesterday, two things stood out. The first is that additional evidence has just been revealed that the suspended CJN refused to declare millions of dollars in his possession. More worrisome is the fact that when the suspended CJN was confronted with the petition that he failed to declare his assets, he added that it was a mistake, that he forgot.
“Now, I would have been a happier person if the same people who are now crying tyranny and dictatorship could really address the issue raised by the President, in his address on Friday, that additional investigations have revealed that several millions of dollars were found in the CJN’s account. And when the CJN was confronted with the original allegation, he admitted that he forgot to make a full declaration and that it was a mistake,” he said.
On the constitutionality of the CJN’s suspension, he faulted those claiming that the President acted outside of the Constitution, adding that in suspending Justice Onnoghen, the President merely carried out an order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing him to suspend the Chief Justice pending the final determination of the cases against him at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.
Look at his mouth like govodo dekto.
NIGERIA CANNOT HAVE 2 CJNs
0. Buhari and his cabal have systematically and strategically destroyed nigeria’s democracy and it’s democratic institutions as recognized by our Constitution. Buhari has destroyed the fabric of our nation.
Nigeria will soon be no more if we allow Buhari to escape with this one too.
1. Suspension of onnoghen is illegal, unconstitutional, unapproved, dictatorial and a desperation to cling to power in 2019.
2. The judiciary is an arm of the governemnt, just like the Senate and the house of reps. If Buhari by prescription cannot remove or suspend the Senate president (though he attempted and failed, thanks to saraki’s ingenuity), cannot remove or suspend the speaker house of reps, why should it then be legal to remove CJN without obeying the rule of law and following due process?
3. Buhari was elected by the nigerian people. Buhari must be made to respect our democratic institutions. This is not a military regime. Buhari must respect our senate, house of reps and our judiciary. Buhari is killing our democracy and we are now sliding Into dictatorship. This cannot be tolerated anymore.
4. Buhari is NOT the constitution of Nigeria.
5. The constitution of Nigeria Is supreme and buhari Is not above the constitution of nigeria. The people of Nigeria elected Buhari as president and the constitution of Nigeria made him president. Buhari cannot ignore the constitution which made him president today.
6. We cannot have 2 CJNs. It is unconstitutional. There is no provision for 2 CJNs in the nigerian constitution. There is also no constitution crisis here. Onnoghen is still the CJN. His suspension by Buhari is invalid according to the Constitution. The constitution of Nigeria is very clear on this.
7. Appointment of acting CNJ is also illegal, unconstitutional and unapproved. The Nigerian constitution is also clear on the appointment of the CJN.
6. President Buhari is an ELECTED president of the federal republic of Nigeria.
7. ELECTED president Buhari MUST:
i. OBEY THE RULE OF LAW
ii. OBEY AND FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTION
iii. OBEY THE APPEAL COURT which is part of an arm of government.
iv. FOLLOW DUE PROCESS
8. The establishment of these arms of governments and institutions in our democracy were intended to check the elected president and tame the excesses of the elected president, In order to prevent the elected president from becoming a dictator.
9. If these institutions fail to defend and preserve itself and our democracy, especially from the dictatorial tendencies of AN ELECTED president buhari, then Nigeria is already a failed state and the country can as well break up / divide.
Therefore, There is no need for the existence of a country called Nigeria anymore.
Buhari has killed, looted, caused hunger, pain, sufferings, persecuted many already.
WHAT IS CJN’s CRIME?
It is apc’s handwork to use social media to blackmail all political enemies. Buhari’s APC is made up of clueless but professional criminals whose sole responsibility in the past 4years had been to persecute all their political enemies.
0. CJN:
i. is a successful professional
ii. Practiced law for 39years now
iii. Is a constitutional lawyer
iv. Is a justice
v. was not a poor man when made CJN
vi. Has never be caught or tried in any court for criminal offense.
Constitutional lawyers are among the richest.
Are lawyers forbidden to do business? Is it a crime for lawyers to do business?
1. Buhari’s apc presents CJN’s money in his account to the public as if the man stole the money from their treasury or from nigeria’s, because they think that we will fall for large sums of money. Yet, there is still no evidence that he stole the money.
2. they deny the fact that this is a justice who has practiced law for more than half of his life.
3. Where is the evidence that this man stole the money that they froze in his account? They have no moral justification to freeze his account when there are no evidences.
4. What moral authority does Buhari’s apc have to expose CJN’s bank and amount therein, to the public? Was it to buy the sympathy of Nigerian in this election season?
5. Was CJN caught in any corruption scandal like Ganduje, lawal, maina, baru, etc? What is the FG’s basis for publicizing CJN’s bank account and money therein? Buhari had shared from dasuki’s loot. Remember when Buhari said that he got 2 jeeps and not $300,00usd from dasuki. Today dasuki is in prison and Buhari is president.
6. Where is the law that categorically states that undeclared assets are automatically stolen or looted assets? If there is such a law, then buhari with his family members must be held accountable for keystone and 9mobile and Buhari’s wife (Aisha buhari) must be made to explain the where about of N2.5 billion naira in which her ADC stole. Buhari and his son must also be made to account for the power bike his son bought @ $157,000 usd, when we all know that Buhari had only 150 cows.
7. Why is Buhari’s APC publicizing and persecuting the CJN as if he was caught looting? When all we know is an undeclared asset, ……and other looters are running free in the state.
8. Who will want to declare all his assets to such a corrupt government like buhari’s apc? You declare your assets they loot it for you, you don’t declare your assets they still loot it from you, just to force you to decamp to their useless, clueless corrupt apc. Abacha looted Nigeria dry, buhari came back to recover Abacha’s loot. Today, Abacha’s loot has been relooted by buhari and his APC.
9. a. You criticize their bad policies, they call it hate speech
b. You rebuke them for nepotism, tyranny, bigotry, marginalization, etc, they label you as a looter.
c. You refuse to join them, they send EFCC after you.
d. You loot and then join them, they declare you a saint.
e. Meanwhile the real people fighting corruption are constantly being persecuted, such as Former TETFUND executive secretary Abdullahi Baffa, who says that he was sacked due to his refusal to offer part of the money meant for tertiary institutions to education minister Adamu Adamu, meaning that education minister demanded N200million naira bribe from him.
10. They said that they noticed that the CJN did not declare all his assets. This according to them, is his only crime. To be a logical, it means they noticed that he had more than what he declared and that is all. There are no evidences that he looted nigeria’s money like other ‘saints’ have done and his sincerity has tortured them so much that they don’t believe how he could be so sincere.
11. Notice that Buhari’s APC did not realize that the CJN did not declare all his assets until one month to election, why? Why didn’t they verify him before confirming him as CJN? Now we see that FG is at fault.
12. while FG is yet to answer these questions, they persecute him. They persecute the CJN because he is a southerner and a sincere man who is unwilling to make a deal with the devil to declare Buhari winner of 2019 election when he Rigs election, bearing in mind also that buhari is not qualified to contest in this election because he is a criminal. Buhari has forged waec certificate on two different ocasaions in plain sight of all Nigerians and nothing has happened.
13. Osibanjo says that the Buhari is not aware of CJN’s blackmail. Of course Buhari is not aware because Buhari is now a weak old senile retired general, who now relies on the cabals to run the government and the country for him and run his life too. He also has hearing problem and comprehension problem. One would need to repeat himself/herself a million to him. His attention span is now a fraction of a second. His speech is not coordinated. Old age and senility has eaten up buhari.. We saw all these in “the candidates” moderated by kadaria Ahmed, at a town hall meeting on 16th jan, 2019. Watch the video on YouTube again……so appalling and woeful!
14. Buhari slips, slumps and faints during campaigns because he has no strength left. He is old and weak. Watch how he calls delta state APC Gov. Candidate, “presidental candidate.” Despite being corrected many times. Buhari cannot be aware of anything anymore. The cabal is now running the country.
SHAME ON BUHARI AND HIS CORRUPT APC. ONE DAY, NIGERIA WILL BE SAVED FROM THEM!
