Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore Fulani has lauded suspension and replacement of the CJN over his trial at Code of Conduct Tribunal on charges of false asset declaration.

National Secretary, Miyetti Allah, Mr Saleh Alhassan, in a telephone interview, told our correspondent that the position of CJN should be occupied by a person of unblemished character.

He said, “But for him to say he has forgotten to declare an account is enough for you to resign. I don’t think the head of the judiciary should be found wanting.

“The President has done the needful because if you are the head of the judiciary, you should be above board. So, with his background and what they have unraveled about him, he cannot be trusted to handle post-election issues without being biased because already he is compromised whichever way we look at it.

“I think any serious President would not allow such, especially one building his government on anti-corruption. You cannot be fighting corruption and one arm of the government, the judiciary, is highly compromised.”
