Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose has condemned the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen by President Muhammadu Buhari.
DAILY POST had reported that Buhari had on Friday suspended Onnoghen and immediately appointed Tanko Mohammed as acting CJN.
Explaining his reason, the President said he suspended Onnoghen, following an order from the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, asking him to wield the big stick.
In his speech sent to DAILY POST, Buhari said the order demanded that the CJN be suspended depending the determination of his ongoing trial at the tribunal.
Onnoghen’s suspensuon has since stirred reactions from Nigerians.
Reacting to the development, Fayose on Twitter wrote, “Now we have a full blown Hitler in charge of our country, acting as if he is law unto himself.
“But Nigerians will remember that I warned!”
