Aminu Tambuwal, former Governor of Sokoto State, has urged members of the judiciary not to allow themselves to be used to undermine Nigeria’s democracy.
Speaking at the national convention of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Abuja, Tambuwal stressed that those in positions of authority must remain accountable, noting that history would judge their actions.
He cautioned judges against external influence, referencing the controversial annulment of the June 12 1993 election annulment as a reminder of the consequences of compromised judicial decisions.
Tambuwal also expressed concern about the current political climate, warning that individuals in leadership positions should not take actions that could weaken democratic institutions.
He emphasized that judicial officers must act with integrity, stating that their decisions carry long-term consequences for the nation and future generations.
