Dear Salimonu Kadiri,
I in 99% of your posts, I agree with you. On this one I want to disagree with you on three grounds:
1. Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal has been turned into a body used to witch-hunt opponents;
2. Governor Bola Ahmed Tinubu escaped; Senate President Bukola Saraki escaped; and Walter Onnonghen too must escape from its witch-hunting clutches; and
3. From the President down to the messengers in the Executive, Legislative and Judicial arms of government should be subjected to the same standards, they will ALL fail the test.
"R v Sussex Justices, Ex parte McCarthy ([1924] 1 KB 256, [1923] All ER Rep 233) is a leading English case on the impartiality and recusal of judges. It is famous for its precedence in establishing the principle that the mere appearance of bias is sufficient to overturn a judicial decision. It also brought into common parlance the oft-quoted aphorism "Not only must Justice be done; it must also be seen to be done."
The appearance of justice is equally as important as justice itself. Because this man will head the ultimate Election Petition process the Attorney-General Mallami unwisely wants to use this as a way to get rid of him. He is a lightweight lawyer without requisite experience. Instead he has exposed himself and the incompetent cabal in the government. This stupidity will strengthen the position of the CJN and weaken the position of the President.
It is an OWN GOAL from an incompetent AGF. I am a staunch APC supporter but this one is an unforgivable gaff.
Cheers.

AN ENGLISH NURSERY RHYME
The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
But leaves the greater villain loose
Who steals the common from off the goose
The law demands that we atone
When we take things that we do not own
But leaves the lords and ladies fine
Who take things that are yours and mine
The poor and wretched don't escape
If they conspire the law to break
This must be so but they endure
Those who conspire to make the law
The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
And geese will still a common lack
Till they go and steal it back

--While the overeducated Nigerians worry about the speed at which the case of Chief Justice Walter Samuel Nkanu Onnoghen was investigated, the norm in the world is : Justice delayed, is justice denied.
For us, majority illiterate Nigerians, what we want to know from the Chief Justice are : what were the sources of the US dollars he deposited into his Standard Chartered Bank (Nig.) Ltd account nr. 1062650 in the following manners - five different cash deposits of $10,000 each ($50,000 total) on 8 March 2011; two separate cash deposits of $5,000 each ($10,000 total) followed by four cash deposits of $10,000 each ($40, 000 total), all on 7 June 2011; another set of five separate cash deposits of $10,000 each ($50,000 total) on 27 June 2011; and four more cash deposits of $10,000 each ($40,000 total) on 28 June 2011?And why did he fail to declare them as required by the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act?S.
