With the resignation of suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, done and dusted, following the submission of his letter on Thursday, all the stakeholders in the long-winding drama are now awaiting the arrival of President Muhammadu Buhari for his seal on the deal, which sources confirmed to THISDAY, was “negotiated.”
This, the source said, also resulted in the NJC recommending his compulsory retirement instead of a dismissal demanded by the Presidency. However, the Director of Information, NJC, Soji Oye in a telephone conversation with THISDAY said he could not confirm the report of Onnoghen’s resignation. Onnoghen was suspended by President Muhammadu Buhari on January 25, 2019, 10 days after his trial commenced at the CCT, on the orders of the CCT.
Section 306 stipulates: “Save as otherwise provided in this section, any person who is appointed, elected or otherwise selected to any office established by this Constitution may resign from that office by writing under his hand addressed to the authority or person by whom he was appointed, elected or selected.
