Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has slammed the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo over his silence on the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), describing him as an embarrassment to the law profession.
Fayose went on to urge legal authorities to strip Osinbajo of his SAN title over his alleged silence.
Recall that Buhari had on Friday suspended Onnoghen and appointed Tanko Muhammed 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.
Buhari said the order demanded that the CJN be suspended pending the determination of his ongoing trial at the tribunal.
However, Fayose claimed that Osinbajo’s in his desperation to remain the Vice President has allegedly closed his eyes to the illegalities in the current government.
In a tweet, Fayose said, “Prof. Osinbajo, a SAN is no doubt an embarrassment to the legal profession. Out of desperation to retain his position as VP, he has shamefully chosen to close his eyes to the illegal suspension of the CJN.
“His likes in this government of tyranny should be stripped of the SAN title.”
