“You Supported His Tyranny, Now You’re Shedding Crocodile Tears” – Ben Bruce Attacks Ezekwesili Over CJN Suspension

Senator Ben Murray Bruce has attacked Former Minister and Ex-Presidential candidate, Oby Ezekwesili over her criticism of President Muhammadu Buhari over the recent suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen.

Ben Bruce accused Ezekwesili of contributing to this development adding that she was shedding crocodile tears because she had fallen out with President Buhari.

He wrote;

“Dear @obyezeks, you supported @MBuhari when he started his war against the judiciary in 2016. On this same Twitter, I warned you and others like you that if you praised him then, you are only encouraging him to do worse. You contributed to this Oby”.

“You clapped in 2016 when the war against the judiciary began. Today, because you have fallen out with the tyrant you are shedding crocodile tears? Have some decency and save what is left of your tattered reputation. People like you brought us to this point with your gullibility.”

On Friday afternoon, President Buhari suspended Mr. Onnoghen, who has been facing false asset charges for two weeks. He said the judge had become a taint on the judiciary and he was compelled to take radical measures to ease him out of office.

The president consequently swore in Justice Ibrahim Tanko Mohammed who is the most senior Justice of the Supreme Court, as the acting Chief Justice of Nigeria.
