Nigerians lash out on Osinbajo, ask him to resign over CJN Onnoghen’s suspension
By: Nmerichukwu Igweamaka
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has come under attack and has been asked to resign over the suspension of Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen by his principal, President Muhammadu Buhari.
Buhari had on Friday suspended Onnoghen and immediately appointed Tanko Mohammed as an 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.
However, Onnoghen’s suspension has since stirred reactions from Nigerians, lawyers and opposition parties describing Buhari as a ‘Tyrant’ and also launching a direct attack on Osinbajo.
Some Nigerians, reacting to the development on social media attacked Osinbajo who is a SAN for disregarding the constitution by remaining ‘silent’ about Buhari’s action. Most of them called on Osinbajo to resign, expressing disappointment in his position as a ‘SAN and Pastor’
Here are some comments gathered by DAILY POST from Twitter:
@Adeyanjudeji “Osinbajo values principles or decency, he would resign today & no longer be part of this disgrace, but he is not different from the tyrant. Everything Buhari touches turns to ash, all the intellectuals around the President have been transformed to semi-literates.Tyrant Buhari.”
@Temphiz “Prof Osinbajo is a total disappointment. Expected more from a cerebral person like him. And don’t say his hands are tied though cos you won’t be truthful to yourself that way.”
@UcheBriggs “Listen. We can no longer absolve Prof Pastor Osinbajo. Whatever excuse we may have made for him before, it ends now.”
@Dolarpo “If Osibanjo still hasn’t resigned after this, what shall we say of these things? what shall it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his soul? Sir, this is where I rest my case.”
@Timothy13818925 “I call on the National Judicial Council and Nigeria Bar Association to, as a matter of urgency, punish Osinbajo and withdraw all his qualifications and titles for his failure to guide president Buhari aright. He is a great disappointment to the judiciary and democracy of Nigeria.”
@Olurops “Wait, Osinbajo is a professor of law. Shame on him.Fake pastor.“
@Walexcul “Buhari is nothing but an enemy of democracy and Osinbajo is a disgrace to the law profession. Tyrant Buhari.”
@Musterwizzle “Osinbajo has the fear of God ni as the Pastor that he is, he should have resigned by now to protest all these illegalities.”
@Nwankpa_A “Atiku fought his boss over 3rd term. It was almost political harakiri, but he dived in head first. Where is Prof Osinbajo? Does he agree with this?
@Ovieo “Your darling VP, Prof. Osinbajo is fully complicit. Totally, absolutely, completely. History will judge your MCM as a tool in the hands of this tyrant you all call your president.”
@Harshtagseries “Osibanjo should honourably resign. All the appointment made has been reversed ranging from DSS boss to CJN.So sad.“
@nK “When Osinbajo declared his assets publicly, he said he had $900k and N94m in his bank accounts. His assets were valued at over $2m. Robert Clarke didn’t ask how a former Lagos state commissioner of justice is worth $2m.
@Switkem “Nigeria is *ucked, Buhari is a mistake, Osinbajo is a wolf in sheep clothing What a mistake!!!
@Atooki_Olayemi “I challenge the credibility of SAN of VP Osinbajo as to the level of legal advice he is giving the present administration if he can sit and watch his principal to turn the constitution of the country upside-down.”
@OtunbaSula “I am pretty sure Osinbajo is game with all these. He nodded in approval when Buhari stressed: “Rule of law is subject to National Interest” just months ago. By the way, he is in a good position to recommend amendments to the constitution that gives corruption a fighting chance.”
@KengKengati “Osinbajo is the greatest embarrassment in all of these. Senior Advocate of Nonsense. He has some subordinates in the nonsense category. Itse Sagay and Festus Keyamo. Legal wastes.”
@C_Edum “The current greatest threat to our democracy is not just Buhari, its Osinbanjo and his kinds. You remember when Osinbajo told us that Buhari was not aware of the case against CJN. Will pastor and Law Professor (SAN) Osinbajo tell us now that Buhari is not aware of the suspension?

Widows, Wives and More than 2,000 Residents of Ikeja Police Barracks Benefit from YP4T’s Initiative
More than 2,000 individuals from the Ikeja Police Barracks community benefited from an impactful outreach program spearheaded by Young Professionals for Tinubu (YP4T), an advocacy and support group working in alignment with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The initiative provided critical medical services, care packages, food supplies, and financial assistance to widows, wives, and vulnerable residents, demonstrating the heart of nation-building through community-centered support.
The program, which united healthcare professionals, community organizers, and volunteers, complemented the government’s broader efforts to bring essential services closer to the people.
Residents of the Ikeja Police Barracks received free medical consultations, blood pressure and diabetes screenings, and wellness advice. Widows and families also left with care packages filled with food items, toiletries, and financial support to help alleviate the pressures of the holiday season.
Dr. Love V. Tinuoye, CEO of Medvita Consultancy and the lead doctor on-site, reflected on the impact:
“This initiative reflects a collective commitment to advancing healthcare in Nigeria. We were able to screen for and address critical health issues such as hypertension and diabetes while also providing preventive care like vaccinations and cancer screenings. This is what true community-focused care looks like.”
Beyond medical services, the outreach distributed care packages containing food staples, toiletries, and financial support, designed to alleviate the challenges faced by vulnerable members of the police barracks community.
The event highlights the ongoing efforts under the Renewed Hope Agenda to provide inclusive support for Nigerians across the country. Initiatives like this not only extend access to essential services but also strengthen the fabric of communities.
Mrs. Jumoke Elom, a businesswoman and beneficiary, shared her gratitude:
“I am deeply grateful for this program. The care my family received today—both medical and material—has given us hope and reminded us that we are not alone. It shows that there is real support for families like mine.”
The outreach program was also a platform for demonstrating the principles of nation-building through collaborative action. Alex Oware, Security Expert and Director of YP4T, explained the motivation behind the initiative: “The Renewed Hope Agenda is about about bringing real transformation to communities. This initiative embodies that vision by supporting over 2,000 people—not just through tangible resources, but by reaffirming their place in the collective growth of our nation. It lies at the soul of Renewed Hope: fostering resilience and creating opportunities for all Nigerians.”
The outreach program extended beyond healthcare, providing food and financial support to families within the police barracks. A touching moment involved a widow who, after receiving her care package, expressed her gratitude with tears of joy. Her story is just one of many that reflect the transformative power of collective action.
This initiative by YP4T—an advocacy and support group of Nigerian professionals from across the globe—represents a continued commitment to driving grassroots impact, inspired by President Tinubu’s vision. The success of the Ikeja outreach program demonstrates the power of collaboration between the public and private sectors to deliver meaningful change across Nigeria.
