Reno Omokiri Slams Presidnecy Over Onnoghen’s Dismissal As CJN

A former aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, has berated the Nigerian presidency over the Thursday ruling of the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) on Walter Onnoghen, who recently resigned as Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN).

It will be recalled that earlier today Naija News reported that the Code of Conduct Tribunal convicted the former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen of breach of Code of Conduct for public officers.

Reading the lead judgment, the tribunal chairman, Danladi Umar, ordered the immediate removal of Onnoghen from office as the CJN. The Tribunal also stripped him of all offices earlier occupied, such as the Chairman of the National Judicial Council and also the chairmanship of the Federal Judicial Service Commission.

Reno Omokiri in his reaction said that

ONNOGHEN convicted and banned from public office by the @Buhari administration. MAINA reinstated, then given double promotion and armed guards by the same Buhari government. Under Buhari, when EFCC see the broom they pass over to the next non @OfficialAPCNg member #RenosDarts
