Chief Robert Clarke, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), has warned President Muhammadu Buhari against rejecting resignation of Suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen.

DAILY POST
recalls that the lawyer to the suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria(CJN),
Justice Walter Onnoghen, Adegboyega Awomolo (SAN), disclosed that his
client took the decision in the interest of the judiciary.

Speaking
on the development, Clarke on Channels Tv on Sunday blamed Onnoghen for
his present predicament, adding that a petition by the EFCC should have
warranted Onnoghen’s resignation since February.

He further
noted that President Muhammadu Buhari’s Government should be given
credit for taking the head of the judiciary to a tribunal but warned
that a rejection of Onnoghen’s resignation will ‘create heat wave in
Nigeria politics’.

Clarke said, “The government has knowledge of
many things which you and I don’t have, so if the government decided to
go and take the head of the judiciary to a tribunal, give them credit
that they know what they were doing.

“What has created the
situation that he (the CJN) has found himself today is the petition
written by EFCC. That petition, he had a copy of it in February

“As
at February, the CJN was aware of those charges labeled against him, at
that stage when he got the EFCC’s petition, he should have resigned.

“The politicizing of the situation stopped Onnoghen from doing the needful at the time.

“Let me be honest with you, we should not allow the politics or the political climate to be overheated. I will advise Buhari as President of Nigeria to accept the resignation because if he does not do so, he is creating another heatwave in the politics of the country.”
