Onnoghen resigns as CJN ‘with immediate effect💬 Walter Onnoghen has resigned as the chief justice of Nigeria (CJN) with immediate effect. He turned in his resignation letter to President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday evening, a day after the National Judicial Council (NJC) recommended that he be compulsorily retired for misconduct. By virtue of section 306 of the 1999 constitution, his resignation takes immediate effect. His resignation save Buhari from having to get two-thirds majority of the senate to confirm Onnoghen’s retirement as stipulated in Section 292. 1. of the 1999 constitution which says a “judicial officer shall not be removed from his office or appointment before his age of retirement except in the following circumstances – (a) in the case of – (i) Chief Justice of Nigeria… by the President acting on an address supported by two-thirds majority of the Senate.” Buhari may not be able to muster the needed majority. . Onnoghen’s retirement benefits in cash and kind will cost tax payers about N2.5 billion. As part of the package for a retired chief justice, a house will be built for him in Abuja with a nine-digit sum for furnishing — in addition to a severance gratuity that is 300% of his annual basic salary of N3,363,972.50, as well as pension for life. Just like state governors, a retired chief justice is entitled to a number of domestic staff and sundry allowances for personal upkeep. This package for judicial officers was put together by the NJC long before Onnoghen became the CJN in 2017. However, if he is dismissed, he will not be entitled to any benefits. The resignation, was the “best possible option” for Onnoghen under the current circumstance.

President Buhari Acknowledges Nigerians’ End SARS Outrage . . In recent days, a lot of Nigerians took to social media to join voices in the ‘End SARS‘ media campaign. The campaign got more serious after an innocent Nigerian – Mr. Kolade Johnson – was mistakenly shot dead by a SARS official on Sunday where he went to watch a football match. . Unlike before, the President of the country responded to the campaign using his official Twitter handle. He is of the opinion that the government will not tolerate brutalization of Nigerian citizens or the violation of their rights in any way. . In his tweets, he wrote; . Let me make it clear that the Government will not tolerate in any way the brutalization of Nigerians or the violation of their rights. Any law enforcement officer or government functionary caught in this act will be visited with the full weight of the law. . The recent unfortunate action of SARS operatives from the Lagos State Police Command, which led to the avoidable death of Mr. Kolade Johnson, is deeply regretted. Once again, our condolences to the family of the deceased. I’m aware the Police authorities have visited them. . I acknowledge the genuine outrage from citizens and Civil Society groups regarding the activities of SARS. As you’re aware, the Suspects in the Kolade Johnson killing are in custody. When the orderly room trial is concluded, indicted officers will be prosecuted in court. . While important steps have been taken by the Police leadership to restructure and reform SARS, in line with presidential directives, more needs to be done. I assure this will be done. We will continue to work to ensure that we have a Police Force that adheres to the rule of law. . . #presidency #Buhari #endsars #koladejohnson #straybullets #triggerhappyhavoc #naijaupdates #blogs #news #restinpeace https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv1vt4pAHF-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3bwlfo51yujx

ADP candidate Gbadamosi steals show as Lagos governorship candidates debate . . The candidate of the Action Democratic Party (ADP), Babatunde Gbadamosi, was the dark horse that wowed members of the audience in Saturday’s Lagos gubernatorial election debate, as he spoke confidently of his plans if elected governor of the country’s commercial capital. . Mr Gbadamosi, who was a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before defecting to the ADP, received rave reviews of his performance in the debate, which was organised by The Platform, a civic discussion initiative of the Covenant Christian Centre. . The interview which was moderated by British-Nigerian Christian broadcaster, Victor Oladokun, had in attendance alongside Mr Gbadamosi, the candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the PDP candidate, Jimi Agbaje, and the candidate of the Alliance for Democracy (AD), Owolabi Salis. . The debate had the aspirants speaking on issues ranging from gridlocks in the Lagos metropolis to power, down to the educational sector and to health. . Mr Gbadamosi started off on a somewhat shaky note when he was asked about what he would do in his first hundred days in office if elected. He explained that he would try increasing the salaries of civil servants in the state, but he did not explain how he would raise the additional fund needed to do this. . He, however, bounced back from the initial flutter, arguing that his priority will be to boost the infrastructural shortfall of the state by building rail lines to all the exit points of the state, opening up water transportation and the movement of container by barges instead of through the roads to cut the infamous Lagos traffic. . . #2019election #lagosstate #governorship #election #debate #babatundegbadamosi #sanwoolu #jimiagbaje #ADP #APC #PDP #naijaupdates #news https://www.instagram.com/p/BsmuHjRgNwt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uq9f3l5562uc

President Buhari’s Government Is Corrupt – Bukola Saraki . . Senate President Bukola Saraki has alleged that there is massive fraud within the oil sector. . In an interview with Channels Television’s Seun Okinbaloye, the lawmaker said applying subsidy on assumption that Nigeria consumes fifty million litres (50million litres) of fuel a day, is fraudulent. . Saraki said in the Jonathan administration subsidy was based on an assumption that the nation consumes 30million litres of fuel daily. . He added that he and some other lawmakers warned that the Jonathan government was condoning corruption “by over importing fuel and because of that we were losing a lot of money" . The Senate President said the present government instead of changing the process, jerked up the importation by 20 million litres extra. . Saraki said there is no way Nigerians can consume 50million litres a day, “it is just money being stolen,” he alleged. . The director general of the Atiku/PDP presidential campaign said the lawmakers have called for the inclusion of subsidy in the budget but that request has lingered for two years and President Buhari has only just agreed to bring it in. . He said, “This kind of decisions have led to leakages and this is the root of corruption”. . . 📽: Channelstv #2019election #saraki #Buhari #subsidy #oilsector #ministryofpetroleum #nnpc #corruption #goodluckjonathan #budget #apc #pdp #campaign #naijaupdates #spc https://www.instagram.com/p/BscUw30ANdd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=190dld85k54vg

But Melaye, who represents Kogi West in the National Assembly, had barricaded himself in his home and refused to surrender for arrest. .

Rotimi Amaechi’s House ‘Invaded’ By Police . . The home of Former Rivers State Governor and current Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi was reportedly invaded by some policemen recently. . According to a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the South-South, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, the attack was carried out on the orders of the Rivers Government. . Eze's conclusion, which was contained in a statement on Friday, alleged that the Port Harcourt home of the minister was invaded at the behest of the State government on the 8th of May, 2019. . According to him, the attack occurred shortly after Governor Wike boasted in a TV interview that Amaechi has become so unpopular that he can't move around Port Harcourt safely without Security escort and on a day that the Minister was expected to visit Port Harcourt. . He also highlighted that Governor Wike in the said interview stated that the Internal Generated Revenue (IGR) of the State has improved tremendously under his watch but the question the Governor refused to answer is, "what had he achieved with the improved IGR and billions of Naira that accrued to the State through the monthly Federation Account Allocation Committee. The Governor have totally achieved nothing with all the huge funds at his disposal as he allows the State to have the highest number of unemployed youths and unpaid salaries to civil servants and pension to Pensioners all these factors have enhanced insecurity in the State. . The party chieftain had recently, in a statement addressed to Wike, suggested a couple of answers to solving the fearsome peace and security realities in the state, admonishing him to offer 'true leadership' as governor of the state for the period the laws will allow him to be in office and discard all political activities that had hitherto distracted him from being an exemplary leader. Wike had earlier called a truce in the face off between him and the APC in the state. . . #Riversstate #wike #amaechi #pdp #apc #electiontribunal #electionviolence #killings #naijaupdates #poltrakblog #blogs #news https://www.instagram.com/p/BxU5f1Zls4A/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19gptx5ojos9p

Breaking! Buhari’s endorsement: I’m still in the race, Donald Duke insists . .

The National Executive Committee of the Social Democrats Party had yesterday met in Abuja and endorsed President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress as its party candidate. . In a statement issued on Thursday, Donald Duke said the SDP’s endorsement is rather unfortunate and betrays the desire of majority of members of the party. . He blamed the crisis on an aspirant who lost at the primaries and queried his suitability to contest for the presidency on grounds that he (Duke) came from “the wrong part of the country.” . . #2019elections #sdp #DonaldDuke #jerrygana #Buhari #apc #naijaupdates https://www.instagram.com/p/BtoU6f-g3aW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jq20amq4sl92
