Justice Walter Onnoghen Estate mogul and former gubernatorial aspirant of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Enugu State, Dr. Chukwuemeka Alex Obiechina, has slammed immediate past Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Nkanu Onnoghen, for alleging malice in his removal from office.
Onnoghen, in a remark during his 70th birthday celebration, in Abuja, told the audience that he was never told the reason for his removal as CJN, stressing, “how do you feel when you wake one morning and asked to resign, without anybody telling you the offence you committed?”
But Obiechina urged the former chief justice to stop such bluster, reminding him that his disgrace out of office was God’s answer to his (Obiechina’s) prayers after he (Onnoghen) refused to assign his governorship election appeal to a judge for adjudication, until the case became a mere academic endeavour.
