Onnoghen: “Senate Should Suspend Buhari And Declare Saraki As Acting President” – Lagos Lawyer

ONNOGHEN: Senate Should Suspend Buhari and Declare Saraki As Acting President; says Lagos Lawyer; Gives Reason Why It’s Legal

Reacting
to the removal of Justice Onoghen as CJN by President Buhari,
Lagos-based Lawyer, David Agu Esq., in a humorous, but interesting, post
on Facebook, has urged the Nigerian Senate to save Nigeria’s democracy
by suspending President Buhari and his Vice, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo from
the office of President and Vice President of Nigeria when they
reconvene on Tuesday, January 29. Read his articulated humor below:

“There’s
something called anarchical approach to restoration of order (don’t ask
me who propounded that theory. I’m still looking for the person sef).

That
is to say, most times, it takes a measure of madness to cure a mad man.
Take Psychiatric doctors for example. Oh, you think they’re normal?

Just
like I had advised the other day, Senate has announced an emergency
reconvening on Tuesday. And here’s what I propose as a grand plan to
appease the majority of the Nigerian masses at this time of anger: NBA
should get to any Federal High Court first thing on Monday morning with a
motion exparte, praying the court for an order directing the Senate to
do all that is necessary to SUSPEND the President of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria and his Vice, pending the restoration of the nascent
Nigerian democracy to it’s pre-2015 status quo.

The Senate
should then, upon reconvening on Tuesday, move, as a matter of national
emergency, to implement the order of the court, and forthwith suspend
the President and his Vice, and proceed to swear in the Senate President
as Acting Nigerian President.

Note that this does not amount to a
breach of the Constitution. No Nigerian law provides for the suspension
of the President, but it is trite law that the court can make law
through their pronouncements, where loophole exists.

It’s suspend
they’ll suspend him…not removal. Haba! Please, if we want to be mad
in this country, let’s be adequately mad. Let’s go the full length. I
don’t like half-measures”
