The issue affecting our democracy over the CJN is very delicate. And if handled trivially without critical considerations, democracy, so long and duly taunted  could fight us back fiercely.

It is so sad that coincidence has come to play on this matter. This now allows it to be possible for some enemy of democracy and legally-insufficient knowledgeable people to hijack the situation, twist it in their favour to poison people's mind with a clear attempt to spite the patience of democracy.

This is bad. I really sympathise about the coincidence that Justice Walter is from the south-south, that the federal election is close by, that the most senior judge after Justice Walter is a northerner, that most Nigerians aren't legally exposed, that PMB has been considered a dictator and a tribalist. I really sympathise a lot.

To me, I feel Justice Walter is the villain. He has made whatever plight against our democracy possible by what he simply calls "forgetfulness". He has added salt to the injury of our democracy by failing to do the needful when he was alleged: voluntarily stepping down as CJN, and he is breaking the Carmel's back of democracy by staying silent about the whole situation.

However, as much as I would refer my readers to the Nigerian constitution of section 231, subsection 4 et al, I would like to say expressively that that PMB hasn't breached the constitution as much as the way people say he has. However, my blame on PMB is in his failure to consider the powerful coincidences which is capable of destroying our democracy before going on with the suspension of Justice Walter.
