President Buhari And CJN Walter Onnoghen Finally See Face To Face (Photo)

 

 

President Muhammadu Buhari and the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen, were all smiles as they shook hands at the Armed Forces Remembrance day.

 

This photo comes amidst Onnoghen's planned arraignment by the Federal Government on a six-count charge bordering on his failure to declare his assets since he assumed office in March 2017.

 

Buhari's encounter with Onnoghen becomes significant following reports from government sources that the President is unaware of the actions by the anti-corruption agencies to try Onnoghen.

 

Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters, Senator Babafemi Ojudu, also denied that his boss demanded the resignation of the CJN.

 

Onnoghen declined appearing in court yesterday, claiming that the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, has no right to try him over false assets declaration charge by the Code of Conduct Bureau, CCB.
