PDP Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar has reacted to the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Below is the full statement made available to PoliticsNGR:

“The
purported suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria by President
Muhammadu Buhari, is an anti democratic act which I reject in its
entirely and call on Justice Onnoghen and the judiciary to resist with
every legal and constitutional means that they can muster.

This
brazen dictatorial act is the latest action in the ongoing rape of our
nation’s hard earned democracy by those who dined with anti democratic
forces, and is symptomatic of the increasing desperation that President
Buhari and the cabal pulling the strings have as February 16, 2019 draws
near.

The fact that the unlawful suspension of Chief Justice
Walter Onnoghen was announced just as it became public knowledge that
the CJN was constituting the election petition tribunals is not lost on
discerning Nigerians and the international community. This act of
desperation is geared towards affecting the outcome of the 2019
Presidential elections. Indeed, it is not just the CJN that has been
“suspended”, it is the Nigerian Constitution that has been infracted
and, in effect, suspended, under the guise of the suspension of the CJN.

The
case involving the legality or otherwise of the charges against Chief
Justice Walter Onnoghen is in court, as it should be. So far, the
judiciary has ruled in Justice Onnoghen’s favour. So, why not allow the
court to adjudicate on the matter? What is the pressing urgency?

I
want to seize this opportunity to call for unity amongst the judiciary.
Do not let the Muhammadu Buhari administration divide you. Do not let
this government turn you against yourselves. The judiciary is the last
hope of the common man and the defender of our democracy.

I also
urge the international community to follow the commendable example of
the United States and the United Kingdom by intervening to make those
involved in this undemocratic act know that their actions will have
consequences. Strong consequences.

And to the Nigerian
electorate, I call on you to save your beloved country from dictatorship
by voting against President Muhammadu Buhari’s desperate war against
the judiciary. Our country is falling apart under the leadership of
President Buhari and it is time to stand up for democracy.”
