Atiku Abubakar recently cautioned Nigeria’s judiciary, expressing concern that Nigerians are increasingly losing confidence in its impartiality and effectiveness. In his statement, Atiku highlighted the need for the judiciary to uphold justice and maintain independence, as public trust in this institution is essential for a stable and democratic society. He emphasized that perceptions of bias or compromised integrity can undermine the public’s faith in legal processes, particularly in high-profile cases involving political figures or sensitive national issues.
Atiku’s remarks come at a time when Nigeria’s judiciary is under intense scrutiny, especially in light of recent political and electoral disputes. He called on the judiciary to demonstrate transparency, fairness, and commitment to justice, urging reforms that would reinforce public trust and ensure that the judiciary serves as a pillar of democracy in Nigeria.
