Aisha Buhari Speaks On Condemning CJN’s Suspension

The Wife of the President, Aisha Buhari, has denied condemning the recent suspension of former Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) Walter Onnoghen.

PoliticsNGR learnt that Mrs Buhari in a statement
through her Director, Information, Mr Suleiman Haruna, on Sunday in
Abuja, described the news making rounds that she condemned Onnoghen’s
removal as fake.

”The attention of wife of the President has been
drawn to a post on social media to the effect that she condemned the
suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria.

”It is important to
inform Nigerians that wife of the President has not made any public
statements on the matter and therefore the commentary is untrue and
fake.

“This is highly condemnable and we, therefore, advise the
purveyors of such news to recant and desist henceforth,” the statement
added.

The former CJN was suspended by the Federal Government following a recommendation of the Code of Conduct Tribunal.

The
suspension order was executed to enable the tribunal to hear and
determine the allegations of false asset declarations filed against
Onnoghen by the Code of Conduct Bureau.
