Acting CJN Muhammad reveals when he’ll step aside, says Onnoghen remains Chief Justice of Nigeria

Muhammad said he would step aside once the Code of Conduct Tribunal or the Appeal Court reverses Onnoghen’s matter.

“The council comes in where the appointment as the acting CJN is to be renewed or extended. I humbly refer to Section 231 of the 1999 Constitution. “On January 25, 2019, I was summoned to the Aso Villa at the instance of the President. Prior to the summons, I was not aware of the fact that the Code of Conduct Tribunal made any order on January 23, 2019.

The Acting CJN said that he was a member of the NJC panel that removed Justice Obisike Orji of the Abia State High Court for accepting to be sworn in as chief judge by the Abia State Government without a recommendation of the NJC but added that his own case was different because he was only appointed as an acting CJN.
