Opposition parties have learnt of the Presidency’s last minute offensive to forcefully remove the Justice Walter Onnoghen as the Chief Justice of Nigeria from office before Saturday presidential election.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n
A statement signed by Ikenga Ugochinyere, spokesman of the Coalition of United Political Parties, CUPP said \u201cWe have learnt that the Presidency is asking that he resigns immediately or he is arrested ahead of the election.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe opposition is armed with evidence of a failed attempt around 11pm Tuesday night to force the CJN to sign a draft resignation letter taken to him by a former Attorney-General Federation.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe Senior Advocate of Nigeria was sent to threatene the CJN to avert a planned arrest and humiliation by signing his resignation as the President has directed that he must step down before the Saturday election for the acting CJN, Tanko Mohammed, to have his illegal appointments regularised before Saturday election.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWe have evidence of the meeting held at the Udi Hills luxury mansion at Aso Drive belonging to the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, which he bought after the Abacha loot fraud.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWe further learnt that the meeting was attended by the acting NJC chairman, Justice Abdullahi Rtd , NJC Executive Secretary Gambo Saleh , and Bayo Ojo.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cAt the meeting, the strategy to force Justice Onnoghen to resign as directed by the Presidency was discussed starting with the emissary sent to the CJN by 11pm yesterday night to sign the draft resignation letter.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe meeting has also resolved to forge the signature of the CJN and issue out a fake resignation letter for him and arrest him immediately.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe plan is to keep him communicado to make it impossible for anybody to reach him to comfirm if he was the one who signed it.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe Presidency has also directed the Chairman of the CCT, Danladi Umar, to issue a bench warrant against the CJN to pave way for the police to arrest him.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe EFCC has also been directed to abandon the petition he sent to NJC and move in to arrest the CJN if he fails to resign today .<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe Presidency is desperate after realising that it has misfired in the method adopted in the offensive against the CJN and now feels the only way to come out of the log jam is to force the CJN to resign so that it can score a cheap point before the Saturday election and also perfect the swearing in of the impostor acting CJN.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThe fear that their post 2019 litigation moves will fail over the constitutional log jam on who is the head of the court is behind the reason the President wants the CJN to step down now<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWe therefore call on members of the public and the media to go and keep vigil at CJN house to avoid any harm being done to him.\u201d<\/div>\n
