Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday fixed July 12, 2019 for judgment in the suit seeking to stop the appointment of Justice Tanko Muhammad, as substantive Chief Justice of Nigeria .
The plaintiff in the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/420/2019, urged the court to declare that Justice Muhammad, having made himself available as a tool that was used in the violation of the Constitution, especially with regards to the alleged illegal removal of the former CJN, is therefore not a proper and fit person to be recommended for appointment to head the judiciary.
The CCT had in an exparte application directed Buhari to suspend Onnoghen pending the hearing and determination of corruption charges against him and appoint the most senior justice, to replace Onnoghen as CJN. Justice Muhammad equally maintained that there was also no need for President Buhari to approach the Senate “for support by majority of two-third votes, before the erstwhile CJN could be suspended from office”.
