The Chief Justice of the Federation,
Justice Walter Nkanu Onnoghen has come under FG radar and will be docked
in the CCT’s accused box on Monday. The FG accused the Justice of
irregularities in his asset declaration. Recall that the last high
profile case handled by the CCT was against the Senate President, Dr.
Bukola Saraki, where-in the case was quashed for having no substance and
basing its findings on hearsays. Onnoghen who upheld the verdict of the
court, has today come under investigation and further litigation by the
code of conduct Bureau.
Following the inability of the ruling
APC to secure the interest of Nigerians ahead of the 2019 polls, the
ruling APC has resorted to rigging plans and also seeking legal backings
for them. While the rigging plans are in full force with the recent
appointment of Amina Zakari as head of collation, the APC-led FG also
needs legal backing for their plans to fully materialize. This is the
reason why they have turned on Justice Onnoghen, who has been a clog in
the wheels of their nefarious activities.
Upon this, lots of
legal luminaries have volunteered to help the embattled Justice win the
case. The cabals have however picked a favorite; Justice Tanko Muhammad,
as the next Chief Justice of the Federation if their plans fall
through.
