Onnoghen’s Suspension: I Am Solidly Behind Buhari — El-Rufai
Governor Nasir El-Rufai has said he is fully in support of President Muhammadu Buhari’s decision to suspend Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen and appoint Ibrahim Tanko Mohammed as acting CJN.
The Kaduna State governor made this stand clear in a tweet on Friday.
He said it is time actions and decisions are taken in Nigeria without ethnic or religious biases, adding that on the Buhari’s latest decision, he is “solidly” behind the President.
El-Rufai’s tweet reads thus: “SANITY NEEDS RESTORATION: About time this institutional gobbledygook and regionalization to justify admitted wrongdoing are confronted. Justice must not give way to legal gymnastics and absurd technicalities. I am solidly with PMB on this, as always!!”
Meanwhile, Senate President, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki has said that the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, is a “coup against democracy”.
In a statement on Friday, the Senate President said the move by President Muhammadu Buhari is an over-reach of the powers in the Executive arm of government.
Dr Saraki said Onnoghen’s suspension is a deliberate attempt to endanger Nigeria’s hard-won democracy.
Saraki said President Buhari’s action undermines the Nation’s judiciary, adding that it subverts the constitution, intimidates judges of all the courts of record, and creates uncertainty in the electoral process.
The legislator said Buhari has initiated a process the consequence of which no one can predict. “He has precipitated a Constitutional crisis,” Saraki said.

The law plesse read this What goes around surely comes around. Law is law, no sentiment. What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Simple!
“According to Section 11 of the Interpretation Act, Cap 123, Vol. 8, LFN, 2004, the President can suspend indefinitely but not remove without senate. And the President just exercised this
This was the law that Mike Ozekhome ,SAN deployed in his argument supporting the suspension of Justice Salami

Mr El- Rufai, you have never supported anything good, peaceful or loving from the day i knew you. You have always been supporting evil, division, killings, and even paying killers for job welldone in killing others. Insulting people’s religion with careless talks. How will you not support evil, may God have mercy on your soul in Jesus name.

NIGERIA is a dead COUNTRY
How I wish we can separate in peace…
The land of generals without war.
professors without discovery.
Politicians without ideology
Wealth without prosperity
Religion without piety
Leaders without vision
The oppressed without worries
Courts without justice
Criminals without fears
History without glory
Heroes without honor
Schools without learning
Artists without taste
Intellectuals without thought
Terrorists without identity, appointees without life, hunger without famine
Change without progress
Next level without foundation
Democracy without citizens
Unity without love
Heroes without sacrifice
Policies without plans, crime without culprits, saints without humility
Integrity without performance
Wars without enemies
Billionaires without business
Youth without dreams
Elders without wisdom.
You name it, it is in this our God forsaken country, Nigeria. Who did this to us? What a lament.”
God pls separate us in peace…We need a home that is OURS(BIAFRA)
