Yesterday was a very sad day for our democracy

Relegation bound Lifeless FC Manager ordered his boys to launch a vicious tackle on the Chief Justice of Nigeria

And they scored the biggest own goal in the history of democracy. THREAD!
Politics is a game.

And Every Game has rules.

The Game of football is governed by FIFA rules

While the game of politics In every democracy is governed by the constitution and other laws of the land
The Nigerian Constitution spells out the rules for all players in a democracy.

It guarantees the Rule of law, separation of powers, and independence of 3 arms of govt viz; Executive, Legislature, Judiciary

It also prescribes procedures for appointments and removals for same
S.292(1) of our constitution is explicit on the procedure for giving a RED CARD to a Chief Justice of NIgeria.

It requires an address to the President supported by 2/3rd of Senate

The constitution also established the NJC as a first VAR Checkpoint for any INFRINGEMENTS by him
The problem now is that we have a Lifeless FC Manager with a Military philosophy

He is not ready to play by S.292(1) of the constitution or the NJC Rules.

He just wants to bulldoze the CJN out as quickly as possible before Election tribunal is set up hence this CCT Game plan
We understand that lifeless FC Manager is under pressure to make injury time substitutions at the apex Court and avoid Relegation

But this move to drag the CJN before the Code of Conduct Tribunal without recourse to NJC is ill adviced

It's the biggest own goal of the season.
Under Buhari, We are witnessing the systemic destruction and relegation of all our democratic institutions and values.

First, they launched this game plan against Saraki but lost in woeful fashion.

Next, they invaded the houses of judges at midnight.

Now, it's the CJN.
All over Nigeria, Atikulated FC is winning the admiration and support of Nigerians

This is President Buhari's biggest headache

He Knows his defeat is imminent hence this resort to old negative football tactics -

"If you miss the ball, don't miss the leg"

But it won't work!
