FALANA CALLS ON CJN TO RESIGN, CRITICIZES BUHARI
Femi Falana, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), has asked
Justice Walter Onnoghen to quit the bench, following the allegations levelled
against him at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT).
Falana stated this while appearing on Channels Television’s Politics Today on
Sunday.
“The government should as a matter of urgency, lift the
suspension on the Chief Justice, and since the Chief Justice as so much on his
own admitted that he did not declare his assets, he should do the needful by
calling it quits,” he said.
He stated that after the suspension has been lifted, Onnoghen should quit the
bench, because he has already admitted that he failed in his duty to declare
his asset as required by the constitution.
Falana further argued that the Executive and the Judiciary
arms of government, have failed Nigerians with regards to the case of Justice
Onnoghen.
He said it was wrong for President Muhammadu Buhari to have
suspended him based on an ex parte order of the code of conduct tribunal.
“You can’t fight corruption without following due process,” Falana added.
