Those Criticising Buhari Over Onnoghen Are hypocrites – Lai Mohammed

Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, says those criticising
President Buhari over the suspension of Walter Onnoghen as chief justice
of Nigeria (CJN) are “hypocritical and insincere”. There have been an
outcry since President Buhari  suspended Justice Walter Onnoghen last
Friday January 25th.

Reacting to the public outcry, Lai Mohammed in an interview with
newsmen in Abuja yesterday, said the PDP and others kicking against
Onnoghen’s suspension are hypocrites. He particularly slammed PDP for
suspending their campaigns over Onnoghen’s suspension.

“Which Campaign? Their campaign was over a long time ago. There is
nothing to suspend. We said it that their campaign had floundered. And
in any event, let’s ask them this question: Is there something that they
know that we don’t know? Is there something between them and the
suspended CJN? Otherwise, we do not see why they should suspend their
campaign anyway, but I can understand that their campaign was bound to
end this way.

For anybody who read Mr. President’s address, two things stood out.
The first is that additional evidence has just been revealed that the
suspended CJN refused to declare millions of dollars in his possession.

More worrisome is the fact that when the suspended CJN was confronted
with the petition that he failed to declare his assets, he added that
it was a mistake, that he forgot.

Now, I would have been a happier person if the same people who are
now crying tyranny and dictatorship could really address the issue
raised by the President, in his address on Friday, that addition
investigations have revealed that several millions of dollars were found
in the CJN’s account”

Mohammed added that President Buhari merely carried out an order of a
court of competent jurisdiction directing him to suspend the chief
justice pending the final determination of the case against him.
