The 68 years old Chief Justice, Walter Onnoghen is currently the talk of the town.It's Onnoghen this, Onnoghen that.
So, what's the story?
Well, from what I could gather, The Chief justice was found wanting in his declaration of assets. When he was confronted with the matter, the man said he forgot! Can you imagine that? The Chief Justice of Nigeria forgot to declare 15 houses and millions of Dollars in a couple of bank accounts. I find this quite amusing...very, very amusing!
Ordinarily, one expects the man to toll the path of honour and tender his resignation letter. What did we get instead? A fight!
Justice Onnoghen got suspended from office since he refused to resign. Instead of backing down and accepting the suspension in good faith, he is all over running from one court to the hoping to keep his position as the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN). He's not alone on this matter,the PDP, the US, UK and even the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) are backing the embattled CJN who has ever since been replaced by Justice Tanko.Despite the suspension, the man fights on!
What is He fighting for?
Obviously, he's fighting to retain his seat as the CJN. Does that sound right? I don't think so! The CJN is the head of the Supreme court, the top most court in the land.When the Supreme court passes a judgement, it is final, there's no more appeal.
Why It is not Right for Him to Continue as the CJN
Like I've pointed out earlier, the Supreme court that he heads is the court whose judgement is beyond appeal...as in it is final! If that's anything to go by, then, it's not right for a compromised Judge to head it. Especially a Judge that would forget to declare FIFTEEN HOUSES and MILLIONS OF DOLLARS! If he can forget so much asset, then,he can forget about anything...he can even forget who is guilty and who is innocent. Gaskia, I don't think a guy that forgets that he owns 15 houses and millions of dollars is mentally fit to work even as a clerk in a Magistrate let alone the Supreme Court.
Another major reason why he has to leave is that what he did is criminal in nature as in, he had misled us to believe he had much less asset than he actually has. Such a man cannot be left to head the highest level of our institution of justice. If he could conceal so much wealth, there's a very high probability that he would pass unfair judgements in the name of mistake. The Supreme court does not have room for mistakes as judgements because judgements from the Supreme court are FINAL!
Looking the matter critically,we would realize that no civil servant get paid that much.The millions of dollars are, therefore, of questionable sources. Who would want to gift a Judge such huge amount of money certainly not me, as a matter of fact, no one would dole out millions of dollars to anyone without a reason. If the gifts come AFTER judgements, no wahala, but, if they come BEFORE judgements, then, there's a problem...a very BIG problem. For a Judge to have such millions undeclared in asset means that the Judge is compromised. Such Judges are not to be condoned in ordinary courts let alone the Apex court. This is why it is safest that he had resigned after confessing that he forgot about it!
Former Minister, Adeosun was Right to Resign!
When people lack morals and integrity,they see nothing wrong in fight dirty! I mean, check it out yourself!You got suspended for misconduct, courtesy demands that you back down and walk away.You should only fight back if you know that you are innocent. But, what if you are selfish,shameless and lack morals like the Judge? Oh my God!
This man, had shown no remorse or regret to have gathered enough strength to fight on despite being guilty!He said he forgot...this is means he's guilty of the allegation!
Someone was saying that people are banned from asking him to tell his own part of the story,is that possible,even if it his,doesn't his shameless pursuit of the matter AFTER HE HAD PUBLICLY ACCEPTED THE BLAME spoken volumes on his behalf???
I mean, why would I trust a man that lied about what he had and stood by the lies until he was caught red handed,why would I want to believe anything he says, what gives me the assurance that it won't be a lie? This is why Adeosun resigned, the discovery of the fake NYSC result was enough evidence to make her resign as she obviously would not be trusted again. She understands this, that's why she had to throw in the Towel...just to clear everybody's doubt and save the country an international embarrassment that Onnoghen is causing Nigeria today! What a shame!!!
Why Are The PDP so Worked Up Over This Matter?
The People's Democratic Party (PDP) attitude and the manner with which they are taking issue seem so surprising and suspicious too!I'm still trying to understand why they are so concerned over the matter.In fact, it has caused people talking of the possibility that he is actually part of the grand plan of the PDP to take power this year! According to the source, the PDP would drag the APC to court and fight until it reaches the Supreme court where the final judgement would be passed AND ONNOGHEN WOULD BE THE ONE TO PASS THE JUDGEMENT! This is why Onnoghen has to end all these nonsense by tendering his resignation letter!
The President SUSPENDED not SACK him!
Ever since the beginning of the matter, people have been challenging the power of the President to remove him. Well, the removal is temporary...judging from the fact that he was suspended not sacked. Abi na me no understand English?
The man is a suspect, he cannot be left at the helms of affairs especially when he occupies the office of the Chief Justice of Nigeria. If he stays in office while investigations are still on regarding his case, he can possibly move to manipulate, with ease, the outcome of the judgement.You can't be the Judge of your own case! Onnoghen wants to be the judge of his own case o,. you go gree???
No, we no go gree, Buhari no go gree. This is why, I believe, he was suspended and why we shouldn't have a problem with that decision. With the recent appeal court judgement, he'll have no choice but to go face the CCT! Thank God for that, God Bless Nigeria!!!
