Don't think #OnnoghenSuspension is a joke if you're less informed, it's a coup. Acting CJN have already began working. Southeast is dead before Bubu, South south have had the taste. South West won't believe what will happen to them.
They might wake up to see VP dismissed as well

Acting CJN is illegal.
Any act he performs is illegal.
Any act these 250 members perform, are illegal; including Election Petition tribunal results etc.
NEMO DAT QUOD NON HABET.
In the next five years, we shall still be reeling from Buhari's fuckup. https://t.co/7uxF6slMcv
