Onnoghen's resignation is the right to do - Olisa Agbakabo

- A popular Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Olisa Agbakoba, has said that Onnoghen's resignation is the proper thing to do

- Agbakoba said that though he questioned the procedures surrounding the CJN's suspension, he could not say he was innocent

- The lawyer said that now that the National Judicial Council (NJC) has found he liable, Onnoghen took the right action

A popular Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Olisa Agbakoba, has said that decision to resign by Walter Onnoghen, the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), is the right thing to do.

Agbakoba said, however, he believed he did the right thing to question the processes surround the suspended CJN's trial.

He also said that though he questioned suspension by Onnoghen by President Muhammadu Buhari, that does not mean he can say that the CJN is innocent until a court says so.

The SAN added that now the National Judicial Council (NJC) has found him liable, the CJN did the proper thing by resigning.

He said so on his twitter page as can be seen below:

Recall that Legit.ng earlier reported that Chief Robert Clarke (SAN) said that the federal government should be praised for the decision to take the Onnoghen to a tribunal.

The senior advocate in an interview on Sunday, April 6, said the government knew what they were doing when they took the CJN to court.

Clarke said there are so many things the government does that are not common knowledge to the citizens because they know more than everybody, adding that the government should rather be given credit.

It was reported that the lawyer confirmed that Onnoghen resigned on Thursday, April 4.

Awomolo said he spoke with the suspended chief justice of Nigeria who said he took his action on behalf of the judiciary.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
