Onnoghen’s suspension: NASS leadership calls for emergency session
The Senate will reconvene on Tuesday.
Channels Television reported Saturday evening that the National Assembly would reconvene to discuss the suspension of Justice Walter Onnoghen as the Chief Justice of Nigeria.
A source was reported as confirming that the National Assembly would hold a leadership meeting on Sunday over the matter where a stand against the decision of President Muhammadu Buhari will be taken.
The lawmakers had during Thursday’s plenary adjourned sitting until February 19, after the Presidential and National Assembly elections.
But the decision to reconvene next week followed the suspension of Justice Onnoghen by President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday.
The President had thereafter appointed and sworn in Justice Tanko Muhammed as acting CJN.
