If he is found corrupt then it shows the flaws in our electoral system. The office of the CJN should have been filled sanctimoniously in the first place.

Hmmmmm! For now, I don't think I can give my Child/Children name from any part of Nigeria. Is it Lagos? Worst corrupt area! Everything is fake. ABJ, PH, Calabar or Onitsha? No jobs! I beg! No place sweet me jare.

That is injustice and a calculated attempt to rig the 2019 election.

Joke... Biggest of the century

NGRPresident that couldn't ask Gandollar to resign is trying to soil our Judiciary. MBuhari should hide his face in shame

Convicted before trial? Or scared that he won't play ball?

So it is now they suddenly discover he is having foreign accounts because he met with south-south governors few days back. Why is it election time

Really and this has to happen now with few days to election, kai baba u try but God pass you

Definition of Witchcraft: Manipulation, domination and control. We have it in both crude form and sophisticated form. We have too many witchcraft operations in our government today. Witchcraft on the citizens, on the senators, on the journalist, even on CJN.

Even if they like they shld call it dictatorship, MBuhari delayed his appointment due to some facts, they forced Onnoghen on this administration. Shld reign if guilty no time for impunity pls.

BUHARISM is at work, the next in line after CJN Onnoghen is Justice Ibrahim Tanko, a Northerner. I hope we have not enter one chance with this our oga at the top.

Though no one is above the law but why now? APC is teaching PDP what they should have done in 2015. Jonathan should have remove jega and installed someone from south south. This is BUHARISM,APCism,etc. If Onnoghen vacate his seat, then a Northerner will b brought in. SMH free9ja

Democracy is gone in Nigeria

Mr and Mrs APC confusion on board

This is end of Nigeria.

Ganduje must go first

Bad government

We are yet to see the record of assets declared by that amuosu Buhari since 2015 till date. Please, please, BuhariMustGo FailBuhari2019 BackToDaura2019 - even jailed for life. On the NigeriaDecides2019, LetsGetNigeriaWorkingAgain oooooo

In 2015 I voted Buhari but it is obvious he has no single integrity as he claimed, how many of his ministers declared their assets? Amaechi said it all, Buhari does not read and can’t understand separation of powers and the independence of the Judiciary. Please pack & go Buhari.

Has Buhari Declare his Asset? Wankers!

Then MBuhari should also vacate office over assets declaration and all his Ministers aides and security Chiefs all of the what rubbish

This will not stop Buhari from going to debate! If he fails this time, educated men who vote for him should consider themselves cursed!

Funny enough buhari will end up putting an Hausa people in that place has all the northern people in buhari cabinet declare their own asset so because Onnoghen has not done his own that is why buhari and the gang want to remove him let them continue

we are welcome to military era

Jubil of Sudan ,lifeless president u again!!!

Clueless and clannish govt

Vanguard with fake news. Don't come and start writing apology letter late

The author of the corruption allegation against the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN Onnoghen), is Dennis Aghanya (Buhari's former aide). Conspiracy. Manipulation. Machination. Onnoghen. OnnoghenCCTtrial CJN DennisAghanya.

I swear this lifeless buhari is out to destroy democracy and Nigeria

How come this is coming up now, were they sleep all this while? Just to wake at this time and start this nonsense about asset declaration... this is a big joke

What has this man done again. If they don't have anything against people that aren't loyal to them they bring code of conduct bureau to charge them. This won't work, the is more to this case than just asset declaration

'Government magic' 'People wey no know they happy... People wey know them they look'

Long live Nigeria.

cchukudebelu A certain Governor was caught on video taking huge sum. Anti graft bodies are not dragging him cause PMB expect lots of vote from his state.

Who's this FG? Just make it straight. MBuhari asks CJN to vacate office....

🤦🏽‍♂️

Has buhari declared his assets?

Nigerians need not worry about Buhari and his tyranny! In 1983, Babangida, a fellow Fulani Muslim helped us end his tyranny. In 2019, Atiku, another Fulani Muslim will help us send him to oblivion to go meet shekau and co who had once named him their negotiator!

First, it was Saraki, now it's Onnoghen. They failed and will fail again.

Who do we blame! A stupid man or stupid people whose stupidity perpetuates n gives credence to a stupid man! As long as we keep being stupid in Nigeria, Buhari will continue to take us for a ride. Am optimistic more reasonable Nigerians will unite n show off mr. Plague to Daura.

Good decision.

Nigerians should vote wisely! Vote president Muhammadu Buhari, MBuhari , 2019! For peace unity progress human and capital development and prosperity! Vote the Next Level! Vote APC!

cchukudebelu Can the President sack the CJN? I doubt. Can the CJN sack the President, if there is a case that merits it. We don’t have a constitutional court so we have to go to Supreme Court chaired by the CJN. Hmm. Crisis brewing.

cchukudebelu Heheheheheheheh kadetumi AMADICHIMA AbdulMahmud01 DrJoeAbah What's ur take on this?

cchukudebelu Why not CJN take FG to court like the way Saraki did?

He better not give an inch.

This same Buhari hasn't said anything The IG of Police overstaying his constitutionally allowed tenure. Why hasn't he asked the IG to vacate his office Why didn't he say anything about the Gandollars video? Selective justice is no justice! SHAME on him.

Gud plans ... elections

I do not blame this lifeless President MBuhari but blame Nigerians that voted him in. Fela told us who this man is but we didn't listen.

Even with all this...Buhari will still fail with shame come February

Long expected.They are never comfortable with that guy,he is not their pocket judge.Well I got news for ya,no show for U,ain't going nowhere

yongthuq Wata sabuwa inji yan chacha

If the government investigate properly they may catch many , because these people use their official offices and get what they want.

Nigerians are something else! Anyone condemning this needs to be checked!!!

Make way for an aboki that will ensure that Buhari’s second term is secured.

Rigging template!

Common declaration of asset, gbam!! FG is quick to pounce.. 2 koro-koro videos of the Kano state governor collecting bribe and they're still very quiet claiming them never see anything.. One day this country will burn and there'll be nothing to salvage it..

4+4 insha Allah baba we with u 100%

DaChinagorom The Chief Justice of the Fedration is the Number 1 Nigerian Judicial Officer. Who do you think he reports to? Don’t forget These are the 3 arms of Democracy.. The Legislature ,The Judiciary and The Executive.. These 3 arms are so equal and functions together!

2019 gimmicks, all to deceive the vulnerables. Walter Onnoghen's appointment was Confirmed By the Legislatives on the 1st of March 2017, making it 22 months in Office, as CJN, why then has the FGN not relieve Him of His duties? NIGERIANS BE WISE. UprootTheTreeFromTheRoot

This move alone show that free and fair election is no were to be found buhari is out there to take us back tothe80s Godhelp

No Level (4+0) APC is at it again... Shame on ProfOsinbajo

This man must have aided criminals to evade justice. They must have found something very incriminating. Or probably. PDP maybe planning to use him during the tribunal and subsequent court cases after the election. Something must have caused this. Anyway let him go.

Immediately the news or allegations surface, he should have resigned. Only in Nigeria they will be trying to defend corruption

This right here will be Buhari's undoing.

This is a punishment for not being partisan. And an attempt to remove a neutral judge who can't be bought in case APC rigs Feb. election.

Next time you people support a known semi literate to gov your country, you'd regret it. Integrity my foot.

Did it just come to the notice of the FG that the CJN didn't declare his assets?

APC & Buhari are setting the stage for judiciary rascality & judicial summersaults in the event that the election results don't favour them. They no doubt have an Hausa replacement that will be dictated to. Nothing spoil, am confident that they will fail & be disgraced.

And why are they asking him to vacate suddenly What happened when he was brought in earlier? All these sudden threat just because election is around the corner..

FakeHeadline by

tysalihu 👆

Even if Onnoghen is guilty, as the chief Justice you don't bring this at a crucial time like this when elections are here...

Sometimes when I read people's comments I wonder how we think, we all know decision are not taken singlehandedly nor are they taken hurriedly... it's a joint one and also collectively handled with regards to the constitution...Imyopic thinking can cause heart attack

The same Buhari who kept this man in acting capacity for only God knows how long until Osinbajo's fortuitous stint as acting president.Why is Buhari so mean to non-northerners?

He is not a northerner nor a Muslim so he can't be trusted to compromise for his reelection bid. I am 99.9% sure his replacement is either coming from north or a fellow Muslim

Kindly RT 🙏🙏

He never wanted the man there. Next is to sneak in a Northerner for his fraudulent post elections plans.

We are getting there gradually.

I find the timing and nature of this shenanigan....Disturbing!!! OurMumuDonDo

Hahaha. All these southern leaders are jokers. If you pple ever allow this man to go like that ehh. See all the allegations against Brutai & nothing happened. The first time CJN is coming to d south and they are talking nonsense.

Now I see why it will be difficult for govt to give room to younger generation to govern this county. It is obvious most of them don't even know what's right or wrong anymore. I cannot imagine one supporting a CJN who refused to declare his asset which is part of the law. Wake up

The CJN holds office at the pleasure of the Nigerian constitution and can only be removed from office by death or on attainment of age 70 whichever occurs first or by impeachment by the Senate of the FRN. This govt is officially the worlds worst. Damn Buhari.

And FG didn't know this since ? Well, he was never the cabal's candidate for that position in the first place

I don't trust Vanguard

Adebayo Shittu that failed his NYSC service his still serving

Is it not the same asset we have been begging our president to declare

Buhari isnt taking no prisoners. C- in-C

And the IGP who is overstaying in service is invited by PMB for discussions on when he will be eased out of office ...

What of all the security screenings before he was confirmed

Pls correct your headline, it should read ' The Cabal ask CJN Onnoghen.....

Joke of the century

APC that Nigeria pitied to have a taste of power is using the power arbitrarily without any qualms. They don't care about the feelings of other Nigerians. This democracy under APC will not last.

Very desperate govt. MBuhari this time will surely pass.Why is Buhari trying to destroy Nigeria. Must you win at all cost?

When did the DSS come to know about it and ditto FG?.

Certainly should not have been now...

The target for all this is that he needs a CJN he can manipulate to secure him at the end of the elections.

It's clear what is trying to play out. This will be his undoing.

Has Buhari declared his own asset? Is he not guilty too?

Why can't we understand the issue here instead of attacking the govt. Why didn't the CJN declare his domiciliary accts? This is the question we suppose to be asking

They want to kill him and make way for a Northerner. To perfect rigging. Nigeria is in grave danger. Not even democracy because we never had one under APC.

Fake news challengervsincumbent ariseocompartriot 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

First they came for the head of the Legislature and fail. Now they are going after the head of the Judiciary. They did test run with using DSS to invade and embarrass Judges and we all clapped for them. It will get to us all

I have a feeling if this goes through (If there's any substance to the allegation), his replacement will be a CJ from Katsina.

Forget the grammar, everything na politics.

...the man self get ear problem to hear you.

Ahhhhh!The next level has started before the election.

Buhari had never liked the CJN. This is a ploy to try and push him out of office. The VP Prof Osibanjor has a Domiciliary account which he declared. When has it been an offence for a public officer to own a foreign account?

SituationRoomNg The life presidency touted by a handout candidate in Bauchi is becoming a reality by the day.

The face of a dictator , the true manifestation of dictatorship just like 1981.

We should begin to look into the files of all Elected and Appointed public office holders to see if they all declared.

Now I know that this govt is a comical Government...

Hmmm,what a government,he never wanted a southerner in that position,a well calculated coup against Democracy by the Northern is well.

Hear ye opposition party(IES)! can you throw in the towel now!!! If anyone of you is considering to seek redress in the court post-election, then s/he ought think again...There is about to be a subversion of justice in the court of law!!!

SituationRoomNg They are already afraid of tribunal because when it gets to supreme court they have no chance lol

SituationRoomNg Vanguard! Vanguard!! Are you certain of this? How come you are the only media house carrying this hot and explosive story? This should be breaking news. That is how punch said the FG had ordered EFCC to arraign NFF president & it turned out to be false. We shall see.

fearless of election Cases, have started

Aaaaahh! Such a clean and honest man? Buhari’s FG should fear God a little nah. What has the man done? You don’t want anyone to overturn your rigged victory right? Where is the shame in your government?

I hope this is not one of the fake news which your paper is known for in recent times.

Buhari want's to turn Nigeria to banana republic, DSSdoes it mean they did not do thier job, so why bring up Trump up charges now

Uncle unimagbebia

Did the CJN comply with the law? If yes, then, nothing to worry about.

Nigeria is entering the era of cull blown dictatorship under Buhari which was interrupted on August 27, 1985. There is trouble ahead for my dear country. Next is suspension of the constitution and dissolution of the National Assembly as APC has always advocated

Lolade_maja y una dey fear

Lmaoooo

Lack of trust to rig the election

I don't like the sound of this...they have something off their sleeves. Why now, days to the elections?

Welcome to full dictatorship

Rigging Alert

Buhari should not try it this country will boil

AsoRock Should first use njc

Ok Baba foolish buhari put ur brother there because of elections.

Another Fulani to take the post, baba sentiment we hail you MBuhari
