A chieftain of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Mazi Chuks Ibegbu, has warned the federal government not to cause crisis in the country by the growing impunity in the polity.
Ibegbu noted that the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen was one of the evidences that Nigeria was gradually sliding into preventable anarchy.
Akelicious had reported on Friday, that President Buhari, acting on an order from the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, suspended the CJN.
The President immediately swore in Ibrahim Tanko Mohammed from Bauchi state as the Acting CJN.
The Ohanaeze chieftain, who gave the warning, while reacting to the suspension of the CJN, in a chat with DAILY POST on Saturday, wondered why the CCT Chairman, Justice, Tanko Danladi who is still not cleared for corruption charges, would have the audacity and temerity to recommend the suspension of Justice Onnoghen.
Ibegbu, who is also the deputy National publicity secretary of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, called on all Nigerians of goodwill and the international community to intervene in “this executive rascality, before Nigeria is embroiled in total civilian dictatorship.”
“Nobody is above the law, but due process has to be followed. And the office of the Chief Justice of Nigeria is not among those that should be trivialised by the Executive arm of
government.”
He also called for the immediate reinstatement of Onnoghen to save the nation’s democracy from total collapse.
